Main FJ festival yankee - owner charlie

I pride myself as a wagon jumper of the highest order...haha!! And on that note I'd like put forward the following for this:

Elegant Escape in the 4 miler or the RSA
Calet Mad in the Pertempts
The Storyteller JLT
 
Ahem...I think you'll find a certain post by me on the 19th March 2017 on p3 of the antepost 2018 bets stating this...



Before all you lot jumped on the bandwagon...:highly_amused::p:devilish:

Jono is now captain of the FJ COC fan club!

Kev, nothing personal for not including any members of the 'Kevloaf trixie' (BVD, CoC & OD) just don't like backing horses when the prices have been cut significantly and I'm already on ;)

:) I didn't take it personally, genuinly found it funny, not in a sarcastic way!

I'm on the same bandwagons .... I reckon I am king wagon jumper.... you'd do well to find a horse that I haven't backed :devilish:

haha... realise my comment sounded more serious than was intended - should have used more emojis (where is the winky face??) as I was chuckling as I was typing. Have been conservative with my multi's (so won't be life changing) but if the Kevloaf trixie was to land I'm sure it will be my biggest return of the week by some distance, and so will definitely owe you half a pint of something ;). Just looking through my early AP bets I notice I also put the Kevloaf trixie with Arsenal to win the Premier League... what a waste of wagon jumping that was!

Arsenal?!

You'd have needed Brave Inca, Well Chief, Hardy Eustace and Best Mate running for you last time they were a decent bet :p

Thanks Rhinestone. EE seems popular on other threads. Do we know if he is going 4 miler yet?

No we don't, still very much in the balance, I have it down as 70% RSA 30% 4 miler, there's a few of us following this so it will soon be posted on here once it is known or strongly indicated. The original fancy of Jono's that many of us latched onto was for the 4 miler, I know many are less enthused about his chances in the RSA, although it would likely mean twice the price.
 
I am monitoring the daily days posts regularly. Keep it coming lads and lasses.
 
No prizes for a short price winner. However
FOOTPAD is the biggest certainty of the whole meeting.

If you pick winners on the rest he will atleast double it.
 
What about win Yankee and a seperate E/W yankee for the Main Festival Yankee??

Love a good yankee

A few people have mentioned this now. If more people are in favor of this then that's what we can do.

Agree and @ EVS the price still looks fair. Let's see what the Tuesday thread throws up

Pocket talk there scooby :p anyone would think he's your biggest winner of the week:triumphant:

Apple's Jade is the biggest certaintly ;) - the opposition being so weak is the reason as well as her proven class.

At a similar price to Footpad, Laurina probably is the more backable of the two? again, due to lack of creditable opposition relative to the actual horse.


I hope all 3 win haha, not a lot in it!

He is my biggest winner of the week. But there's a valid reason for that. He's my biggest bet.
And I don't back in them sort of stakes if i diddnt think he was the real deal. :)

I genuinely think footpad is the biggest certainty of the week.

Deffinately has a better chance than laurina. It's common sense footpad wins. I don't get the PM will improve past him because he beat him over hurdles. Like saying alferof would beat sprinter sacre in the qmcc the year after he won the arkle.

Scooby would you not be a little worried if they are neck and neck jumping the last, I think Footpad is a better jumper but I also think PM has a better turn of foot, personally I would be laying footpad if they are together jumping the last..
