J.L.T Novices Chase 2019

VDR got an easy lead that day. He needs to settle and jump better over further. Not a fan personally.

Agree about the settling. We will have to see come the day. His jumping will be absolutely fine if he settles, it was fine on debut then for some reason it went to pot over the shorter distance, probably because of the pace he was allowed to go.

His jumping went to pot because he didn't get an easy lead as he did in his 2 chase wins. He jumps right too. He has been very easy to back on the machine but he is overpriced at 40's if they can get him to settle.
 
As someone in the comments section said, how does the interviewer not ask JLT or RSA?

Charlie,
I'd have to pull him up on the $100,000 question as well. Why do so many people misquote that??
Kim, its $64,000 actually. Maybe its inflation?
 
Anyone heard news on champagne classic’s intended target? I doubt he’ll take on Delta Work in the RSA, and not sure he wants the 4 miler. Looked to be cutting out a little at the 3M trip in his last run, although given he needed the run badly. I’ve backed any race, but can’t help but get tempted at the 33/1 for the JLT, given I can’t see giggins town having anything else for the race? Anyone else getting tempted in ?

Will,
Not heard of a horse called Hardline??????????
 
Now now Doc, where are your manners.
Don't let Waiting Patiently bring out the worst in you.

I think Betfair should get 1 of those vile scarfs printed with Waiting "VERY" Patiently on it :highly_amused:
 
Kev,
Ive had some fun with that horse & trainer. The funny thing is they're all coming round to my way of thinking. It takes a while :highly_amused:

Not all of us. :highly_amused:
 
Backed hard line ew in the flogas 10/1. Might only be 7 runners he's gone on decent ground before.
 
Vinndication
Defi Du Seuil
Lostintranslation

All in the Scilly Isles tomorrow.

2/1 3x joint favs.

Hope Vinndication can put himself firmly in the mix for the JLT tomorrow

Lets hope so Kev and then others will take him seriously.
 
I reckon he'll appreciate the step up in grade & will relish railway fences.

We won't be discussing an underdog/talking horse tomorrow imo!

They must have the ante post market all kinds of wrong OR they have the prices tomorrow all kinds of wrong.

The NRNB price for the 3 in the Scilly ISles:

5/1 - Lostintranslation (9/4 for tomorrow)
8/1 - Defi Du Seuil (5/2 for tomorrow)
9/1 - Vinndication (13/8 for tomorrow)

Best prices available for each:
13/2 - LIT
11/1 - DDS
16/1 - Vinndication

the 13/8 fav is 16/1, or 9/1 NRNB.

If he wasn't already a 100+ point winner, I know exactly who I'd be backing tonight for the JLT!

He's sub 6/1 tomorrow when he gets his head in front after a ding dong battle after the last!
 
I thought Lost in translation was still in the RSA till this morning, have lost the feel for the fez a bit this year.

Agree Kev/Sean - The prices don't really make sense. Obviously its because we are unsure where Vinn goes but if he wins today surely he goes JLT favourite.
