July Forum Yankee

Three days left with this lads.

Previous festival winners remember..

Samcro - JLT
Envoi Allen - Ballymore
Benie Des Dieux - Mares
Klassical Dream - Champion Hurdle
Paisley Park - Stayers
Carefully Selected - NH Chase
Minella Indo - RSA

That would be my seven for us to vote from at this stage from this thread but we’ve already got a few of these in other ones so other suggestions would be good before any voting.

I’ll put it up to a 48 hour vote tomorrow night if no more suggestions come in.
 
1.- Klassical dream - ch hdle.
2.- Minella indo - r.s.a chs.
3.- Samcro - j.l.t chs.
4.- Envoi allen - any race .
.
My suggestion for this months Yankee.
 
Not sure ‘any race’ horses can be put in multiples and for me Samcro could run in half a dozen races or stay at home.
But as always, happy to follow the masses...
 
I'd leave the novice chases well alone because it's so difficult to get the correct target this early.
 
Klassical Dream - Champion Hurdle
A Plus Tard - Ryanair Chase
Shantou Flyer - Foxhunters
Lostintranslation - Gold Cup

All good Festival form this year.
 
Klassical Dream and Carefully Selected would get my vote

I like this one but would perhaps substitute LIT for either Delta or TOTG
 
As mentioned on other thread today
Altior 5-1 for cc is excellent value.
Can’t remember if he’s been placed in previous yankees, so ignore if he has

He hasn’t because he was initially 5/2 and 3/1, the push to 5/1 makes him enormous value for me as like most I can only see him heading to the Champion Chase for a place in the history books...
 
I don't think anything is excellent value at 5/1 in July....

Then again, we'vr had Chacun Pour Soi and Klassical Dream at single figure odds - so relative to those, it's a very generous price.

It is excellent value (very generous) though, isn't it ?
Backed it today.
Not many arguments to put up against him being odds against should he turn up on the day.
 
The fact WH are pricing up Chacun Pour Soi the same 5/1 as Altior is absolutely mental really isn't it. The 7/1 best price CpS against Altior is no better.

Not one I'll back yet however personally I'd take 1pt hit and the 4/1 Altior with b365 (if you can) over the WH price just for cash out. You won't be able to touch cashout come KG time but for risk of injury...

Too many 'ifs'

IF he wins a King George, target isn't certain
IF he gets beaten in a King George, is he still the horse he was
IF he wins over 2 miles this year (again, does he retain ability)
IF nothing improves past him, Chacun Pour Soi
IF he turns up on the day



5/1?

You can find a better 5/1 shot today?


The 7/1 for Chacun Pour Soi would look good IF Altior didn't run :highly_amused:

If you're worried about If's then you definitely shouldn't be backing antepost, or at all for that matter.:)
Altior is a multiple festival winner who has not been beaten.
Most living legends are usually much shorter than 5-1.
5-1 is value and there are far less if's than most of the other antepost bets out there, especially the april and may forum yankees.
Won't take much for windy miller henderson to revert to type either.

There are three potential dangers as we know it. They're all Irish so will probably get whittled down to one main danger as they will likely meet each other before the festival, unless injuries crop up as they might.

There is definitely no better antepost bet at 5-1 available today.

:highly_amused: I agreed until the comma.

I'm not taking 5/1 now in a single for any horse, living legend or not when I know perfectly well they're aiming him at a 3 mile chase at Christmas.

You shouldn't be betting at all if you can't find a better way to spend your money than a 5/1 shot in March, when its the 30th July.:highly_amused:

Joking aside, how many "pts" are you putting down to make 5/1 worthwhile right now in a single?

If it was absolutely certain he'd run in the Champion Chase, I can see it - but we have it catogorically stated he's being aimed at a 3 mile chase, and that is enough of a doubt that you could wait before lumping on at 5/1

Hazel Hill at 10/1 is a better bet off the top of my head ;)
