Hills TWAR Movers & Shakers

I placed my first bet on Sir Gerhard a good while ago at 33/1, and as someone who tends to look through the RAB section every few days I don’t recall the 33s being on there in a while, though I could very well be wrong.Im wondering if it’s possible that somebody was charged with taking down the 20/1 because of the Bumper price collapse and has somehow pressed the wrong button and added the old odds as well. Anyway it’s gone completely now and I hope everyone who would have done the bet managed to get on.
 
Was I dreaming about Sir Gerhard having a setback? Im sure I read it yesterday

Someone posted that they’d read somewhere he may have cancer in one of his eye’s. Evidence was a bit sketchy as the news came from a twitter feed from a podcaster or racing post journalist/contributor and that a cancer was found in Sir Gerhards eye about 6 weeks ago??? I’ve no idea how true this is. His price has continued to be cut over the past few days so not sure if the injury was true, if it’s since been sorted out or what impact it may have on his training or race preparation???

The update from Michael Looby on Twitter was that the horse is okay and is at Gordon’s and cantering.
 
Fury Road 6/1 TWAR with Paddies ! Taken off all other TWAR markets by the look of it.
 
As per my diary section:

Absolute wild one I've chucked a free bet at, not even sure who got him added, but Flight Deck 50/1 any race is the one I've done.

He looks a typical JP/Jonjo handicap plot, 3 runs over 2m accounted for absolutely nothing, losing by a total combined distance of 109 lengths, then wins first time out in a handicap over 4 1/2f further (form franked by the 2nd and 4th since too). Now rated 121, but I suspect he'll improve plenty more for that, and for a further step up in distance, such as his breeding suggests.

I'm looking at him being one for the Pertemps, where the basement rating required over the past 5 seasons has been as follows, 134, 131, 135, 137 & 135. He'll need to improve anywhere between 10 & 16lbs, which isn't a great deal for a horse so lightly raced, and those runs he has had have mostly been at a less than ideal trip.

As said, it is an absolute flyer, and he caught my eye on the any race list mostly down to his price, so thought I'd have a look into his profile, and certainly one I'm happy to take a punt on.

That horse sounds ready made for the Conditionals Hurdle at Cheltenham’s November meeting.

I’ve been to that meeting every year, for ages, and a Jonjo/JPM horse is always punted heavily, and often successful.

Is that a WH Any Race price?

Yeah it is SW :encouragement:
 
Has anyone idea how/if it’s possible to do a double with William Hill on 2 horses ‘any race’?? I only opened an account today as I was led to believe on here you could do exactly that - and it appears it’s not possible. You can put as many horses as possible on ‘any race’ in your slip, but it only allows you to bet them as singles.......?

Not possible EA, and hasn't been for a while.

They stopped this around April time.
It was mentioned in here a while back that you can perm any race horses on the machines in Hills shops...

Think that has been stopped as well, Ista. It didn't work when I last tried
