…..Laura Kenny predicts 8 golds in the cycling, I imagine plenty have put their cross-multiples/accas on before prices crash.
 
Has anyone asked Hills if they are putting up their 'Any Race' markets any time soon?

That's outrageous, you should be getting that for the likes of Impaire Et Passe.
 
Not Horse related. But I see the SportingLifes football tipster is quite sweet on York City for quite a few bets in the National League.

Once bitten…….. :biggrin-new:

Honestly if you saw how many bets/multis I had last season* :hopelessness: had info of the takeover long before it was public knowledge and the prices were daft. We came, we saw, we spent an obscene amount of money, smashed our transfer record on a genuinely quality striker, we, erm, stayed up by a point :biggrin-new: Can't remember anyone going for it the level to which we did and not being up there, some club.
Goalscorer bets in that article are decent enough shouts because we'll score heavily, wont be going anywhere near title bets though as we'll concede heavily too. Might just back daft 3-3, 4-2 type scorelines blind all season :anonymous: Barnet 8/11 top 7 was a bit of a multis gift but they're a decent bit shorter now. Gateshead are interesting at 15/8.

*Yes I'm still banging on about it because I feel guilty as f**k :biggrin-new::hopelessness::beaten:

Evening all - hope you're all summering as well as Caldwell Potter...

I've put a thread together of 25 horses who have been either injured/out of training for most/all of last season. May help to jog your memory or, if nothing else, whet the appetite for the winter jumps season.

Link here > https://x.com/RoadCheltenham/status/1821861173030977629

Plan is to do a few, similar-style threads. Next one is probably more beneficial for more 'casual' punters and will focus on which horses to avoid due to injury/fatality/other. Plenty of horses priced up with bookmakers that shouldn't be - the worst one probably being KEL HISTOIRE in the Triumph. He's a 4-yo so will not be running in any juvenile races, please do not back him...

Appreciate punters should be doing their own research with stuff like this, and to be fair 99.9% of Fat Jockeys will do so, but there are some out there who will back blindly simply because a horse has been registered to a specific owner or is with a certain trainer. If I can help in that regard, I'll certainly do my best...

Shocked when I read that earlier this week. You'd think she was sponsored by a bookmaker coming out with such rubbish. Really hope people didn't fall for that nonsense.

Sure, expected Team GB to get a good few cycling medals but every other country has been playing catch up on the track since Rio.

Great stuff RTC. Have Good Land and Champ Kiely on my list but had completely forgotten about Indiana Dream and Bo Zenith. Where do you think both could go? Especially Indiana Dream. Ryanair bound or miss Cheltenham all together? Surely a shoe in for a place at least if he goes the Ryanair route

Good Land was a tendon, so I'd be very cautious and would much rather wait to see how he is after a run or 2 imo.

Indiana Dream is obviously a very tricky horse to keep right having only been able to get out once in his novice hurdle campaign and once in his novice chase season. Absolutely not an antepost proposition until you get NRNB unless you're getting juicy prices on BFX. Particular shame for him though as he does look to possess some real class

Very true Darlo. I haven't any money on any of them yet but was kind of hoping for the sceanario that Good Land comes out and get's beat first time out so his price drifts for the BANC. I think that is when i make my move provided i am happy that it was a comeback run. He will come out and hose up now :welcoming:

Have absolutely no idea which way Good Land will end up going (or if he'll be good enough) but recall Barry Connell saying pre-Ballymore that GL had the speed for 2m and would be running in the Supreme if he didn't have Marine Nationale.
 
Where do we think Corbetts Cross will be aimed this season. Looking at JP Bingo, we could have Jonbon aimed at the Arkle & F2F gold cup bound, could that leave the door open to a tilt at the Ryanair?
 
Probably try and get him handicapped for the National :beguiled:
 
This has more than likely been discussed already and I've missed (apologies if so) but Kevloaf has a cracking cameo in the Grand National episode of Champions: Full Gallop.

Derek O’Connor says he’ll not likely run over an extended 3 miles again and be kept between 2m4 - 3m. That implies Ryanair, in his mind at least.

With Fact To File and Inothewayurthinkin in the same ownership, it would make sense for one of them to divert to the Ryanair. Corbetts Cross is definitely the most versatile so I like that as an ante post bet.
