Do you think we will learn much from the 5 day declaration stage? Or think have to hold off to the 48 hours decs?

Unlikely to learn anything major (from Mullins)

Maybe Elliott will trim away some fat


Best thing will be some bookies refunding NRNB on horses that are scratched :angel:
 
Anyone know if the bars at Chelts take Amex? First year as a cardholder and wanna maximise those avios
 
This season I've had to use shop bookies occasionally. When it comes to collecting money for numerous tickets would it be best to scan them all on a terminal and then have one slip or go to the desk?

Scan them and then print off the one machine voucher would save you time than at the till.
 
Yeah, first ones will be tomorrow as far as I know.

I think the races usually get trimmed down a lot but I expect Mullins will still leave all of his in until the final decs.

Yes Tuesdays are tomorrow

At least that's what it said in the what's happening this week on the RP app

Is tomorrow also the last supplement stage for Tuesday? To see if anything gets added to the champion hurdle now with constitution hill out.

Would disagree with this, they can only pay out £999 without ringing security for authorisation. I would make sure every ticket returns under that threshold otherwise its a ballache while they slowly blow the dust off their phone book, find the number and act like no ones ever had a winner before

Would also consider if you want cash or paid to a card. Walking up with a ticket for several thousand and wanting cash is going to cause several issues, especially as most firms don't account for their Self Service Machines. Getting it paid back to a card is generally easier.
 
In more important news - Facebook could be down world wide :emmersed:

Cyber War has begun

Can someone explain to me Wtf happened 4:20 Newcatle, I was on glory heights, which looked nailed on to win. Approaching the end they wave the riders down??? So bizarre, never seen that happen before.

EDIT- some online saying was a horse obstructing, must have came down from previous circuit, if so feel bad, but luck definitely not in!
