Bet 365 have suspended my cash out on Minella Premier for the Supreme. He’s still in the market. I noticed he wasn’t included in Henderson’s recent Unibet stable tour but was included in the Racing Post version which I believe was published prior to Unibet. Has anyone heard anything? I’m fearing an ‘out for the season’ announcement to follow.

Any movement on this CNC? Are you still greyed out?

MINELLA PREMIER
"We bought him at the Doncaster May Sale after he was very impressive in an Irish point-to-point. He is an exciting prospect. He looks magnificent and will be going novice hurdling."

Interesting Jockey booking for Savante in the mares Novice at Down Royal. Mark Walsh booked to ride, wonder is this a a test drive for JP to buy?
Impervious was with same connections and trainer and ran in this race as a novice.

I've noticed in the last couple of days on Ladbrokes and Corals, when I go to place my £1 free bet on a ridiculous, life changing accumulator, the max payout has dropped from £1M to £100k.

Is this happening for anyone else?

If so, this is something we all need to be mindful of come the Festival if anyone wins >£100k and Lad/Corals attempt to not honour their daily win rules/limits which were in place at the time when the bets were staked.

Ah such a shame, not many wordsmiths left in the world of sport. Will be much missed.

But what was the general consensus? Is he Gords Number 1 still ?

Average performance. Very green (plenty in the locker you’d imagine) in a slowly run race that they didn’t want to make the running in. Won nicely enough but the horse behind wasn’t up to much. Need to see him again in a better race with a stronger pace. Nothing to get excited about but also nothing to throw slips in the bin either.

The problem with Down Royal is no one is going to take Gordon on so his good horses are beating muck. In the bumper the other jocks did the right thing and didn’t set the race up for him and make it easy.
