Just wondering with markets popping up anyone had a punt on anything?
 
Did you really have to Archie, we thought we had the Genie(us) of 2022 punting back in the bottle:onthego:
 
Took the 14s on monkfish for the RSA and gold cup
 
Only the 21/22 request a bets on Shiskin and Envoi, Shiskin and Monkfish, Shiskin and Appreciate It. Also have a Hills one Shiskin Envoi this year with Bob Olinger 2022 Marsh.

....as above, on a number of the Shishkin/Envoi/Monkfish Specials. Sir Gerhard Bumper & a/r @ 33-1: AI/Shishkin a/r @ 50-1. Also, singles on Shishkin (CC), Envoi (GC), Monkfish (GC) & McFabulous for the Marsh.

Actually wondered if it was worth doing a forum Yankee.

Not me, NW. IMO, it's a mugs game this far out.

Just the one for me. Monkfish to win the RSA 2021 and the 2022 Gold Cup @ 25s
 
Shishkin (CC), Envoi Allen (GC) double - 225/1
Gauloise MNH '21 and MH '22 - 80/1
 
I've had a play on the Derby which, at this stage of the year, will often get flagged on the account so I threw the Derby horse in a patent with Billaway and something else I can't remember.
And just to de-flag the account I had a Monfish (Gold Cup) 7/1 and Energumene (Ryanair) 25/1 in probably one of the worst doubles I've ever placed in my life, but removing the flag was key.

Also had the Shishkin Arkle/QM and Envoi Marsh/Gold Cup double at 125/1...
 
Bets i like the look of but haven't placed

Dusart 33/1 arkle
Bob olinger 33/1 marsh
Energumene 25/1 ryanair
fakiera 33/1 nhc

Mcfabulous is going to be a weapon but knowing if he will even run at Cheltenham and whether it will be marsh or RSA is a lottery

Id consider him any race if the price is right
 
I do quite like the idea of a Shishkin (CC) Energumene (Ryanair) double.

I've done a few specials and have Shishkin in the Champ Chase.
 
In honour of a very sorely missed poster on here and in true "Wag" fashion, I've had Marlborough handbag stuffed with 50 note readies on Envoi/Monkfish,Chacun/Shishkin to win the GC/CC double at any price you want. I also get cash back if it goes tits up as i'm super shrewd and got the astronomical prices and can lay back as and when :devilish:

Im sure your man Envoy Allen has? :devilish:

Where is h​​e anyway..
 
Much too busy/hard picking this year's winners. Madness concentrating on 2022. Bookies dream.

A horse like Energumene has to be looking at Champion chase or Gold Cup before a Ryanair, no ?
You go to the Ryanair if you aren’t quick enough for a Queen Mother or don’t stay the Gold Cup trip...

What if he gets beaten by shishkin in the Arkle and chacun wins the champion chase. Mullins could have monkfish and abp for the gold cup so he’s unlikely to head there. The Ryanair would then be logical? All ifs and buts at this stage I know.

Yeah logical but you don’t train a talented young horse to win Ryanairs, you train them to win championship races, if he proves himself not up to a QM/Gold Cup then yes set your sights on lower targets but he needs to be given the chance to win one first...

I think it will depend on the Arkle and what happens with chacun to where he’ll run next season.

I think that’s a typical kind of comment that you, I and every punter would make because we’re primed to find winners, I’m sure owners/trainers dismiss the opposition to a large extent if they believe their horse is top table.
I don’t disagree the Ryanair will probably suit Energumene more than a Gold Cup but there’s no suggestion a Champion Chase isn’t the ideal race for him even if Shishkin wins the Arkle and is still around in a years time...
