Although credit where credits due, they removed the alcohol barriers and you could walk around with your pint.:encouragement:

Only in tatts, I was stopped walking into club, but definitely a good step

What's going on with Jack Kennedy and Gordon Elliot this week?

Seems to be riding for who ever he wants instead of Gordon's horses in races.

Gordon seems besotted with Jack. Perhaps he’s being realistic about his horses chances to allow Jack to ride a winner? The only race I thought he wasn’t riding Gordon’s was the Mares chase? The other spares he’s picked up are when Gordon has nothing. I could be wrong though.

Random one - I’ve had a couple of messages and pop ups from Bet 365 over the last couple of days - “we’ve noticed you’ve lost more than normal lately” etc and feigning concern about wellbeing, while I’ve actually landed a couple of nice doubles and had some good singles as well… anyone able to advise if that’s the beginning of the end for that account? Would be one of the worst to lose for me

Sean O’Keefe rides the new course like a devil. He’s three interesting rides tomorrow in races where Willie’s best isn’t abundantly obvious.

I’ve played a chicken feed ew patent on Charlus, Daddy Long Legs, and Fishery Lane.

What an amazing day of sport ! Never expected that......some Fabulous horses and serious rides too

F2F looks like could do another Allaho, to step up poss? Caldwell Potter and Harry was such a great watch....and ill be buzzing about Bob for days !

Hell of achievement today by the dream duo......has any other trainer (other than Willie) won the big 5 open races at Chelt (yes i include Ryanair!) and the Grand national for good measure?

And same re Jockey....Ruby apart, not sure even Paul has done what Rachael has now done?

What more top horses aren't seen their way is has won them allbeyond me....if u want to win the top races it’s as won them allWillie, Hendo and Henry

Barry has won them all. Think it is only the three of them.

I suspect it’s automated and procedural - likely to be linked to new focus on deposit limits and affordability.

Common for AP bettors to have accounts where losses look out of normal range when ante post bets are settled as losses when the event happens. Nothing to worry about imo, bar some possible red tape.

Mentioned this the other day too, to someone. Usually full of it about now, hope all is OK :encouragement:

Cheers ComplyOrDie and robith - I had a horrific car accident over xmas (walked away fine) then went to Thailand for a month. I have now moved out there full time so have just been MIA but I am well and watching from afar. Thanks for the kind words.

Good to hear from you! Staying at the white lotus? lol

I drank a bottle of champagne by the time I got to Cheltenham. I do not feel well

Sounds like the ground is quickening, certainly bring Dinoblue into considerations(appreciate saying that about a fav doesn't mean much..)

 

[Brooker17]

Please tell me that this just an usual year and ante post this year was always destined to fail?

 

[Hurricane fly]

Anyone else in favour of us starting the healing process, getting the 2026 pages up and running so we can all just forget about this year asap

I think unfortunately it’s going to be a year that lives long in the memory. If nothing it’s been entertaining

Absolutely love Jasmin de vaux
everyone said couldnt jump , even Willie himself.
settled out the back, cruised into the race and exactly like last year, grabbed the rail and it was game over.
huge engine and loves the hill…

Can we get a passport check on that horse, looked like fucking Pegasus compared to the Jasmin we've been watching all season :biggrin-new:

Great result for those that got on him, I wasn't convinced myself but he never looked in any danger throughout the race.

Another great week, very enjoyable if not very unpredictable. Great to see a couple of you for the naiad meet up (didn’t speak to many of you I tend to keep myself to myself so sorry if I seemed not the most sociable). Horrendous first couple of days saved by jazzy matty. Then the mighty bob at 50/1 and finally jasmin de vaux at 33/1. Somehow ended up for the week which based on some of the results was a decent effort. Thanks to everyone on here again who take the time to share their insights, it’s truly valuable. Here’s to starting for next year

….does anybody know whether the plan is still to send Galvin to the GN? I’m on the double with Lecky at 100-1, and the cash-out is still there but I’d much prefer to let it run.

Last I heard was Elliott saying he was back at home and had an injury ‘behind his knee’.

if you or someone you know have a 365 account then cash it.
B365 are 66-1 NRNB.

….cheers Q, that’s a very sensible play. I’ve followed your advice.
