Well done Bof and understood Kev :distress:

Where have you been mayo ? Was starting to think you were gone for good.

I've missed the Mayo Millions this year. Are you able to give us one before I set off to Cheltenham? :greedy_dollars::greedy_dollars:
 
368/1

Surprise Package - County
Freedom To Dream - Martin Pipe

Friday at Cheltenham

If you don't back this double, you are no longer welcome on this forum :highly_amused:




Up the Bayoffreedom !!!!

:loyal::loyal::loyal::loyal::loyal::loyal::loyal:.
 
Gotta be looking at Come On Teddy in the Kim Muir too?

You could say the same with Oscar Elite for the Ultima too but not taken to him at all since the fall here. Teddy’s got an engine I’ll give him that,I’m a bit unconvinced by him chasing yet so call it personal preference.
 
Just thought of one... think I'm trying to be too clever though :beaten:

Run Wild Fred tomorrow (3/1) with Galvin (25/1) in the Cross Country.

Gordy has said tomorrow is Galvin's Gold Cup... so if beaten, by the next most likely winner... then it condems Galvin down the XC route that Gordon's already mentioned as possible in the next couple of years?

103/1 the double




Someone stop me... :loyal:

I've made a combination Galvin (CC), Banbridge (NHC) & Stattler (Gold Cup) doubles. Little bit of a same owner fun and the prices are nice.
 
This is pure filth and highly speculative but I've done a Lord Lariat (20/1 today) and Galvin (25/1 XC chase) double that pays 545/1. I thought Galvin was ok in last years renewal, but he didn't jump too well and I think a year on after the toughest season he's had leaves him best watched for today at that price (obviously the most likely winner though). RWF always seems to need the run so he's unbackable IMO. Politesse doesn't appeal at the price, nor does BOD on good ground. I think Lord Lariat will deploy the same tactics used at Fairyhouse, just front run and put the rest under pressure. If the market principles lack for fitness and Galvin jumps like he did last year he could potentially win from the front in receipt of weights and the bi-product of that outcome would be Galvin's chances of running in the XC chase increasing as Elliott recently name checked the race for him. Its highly speculative and I'll probably have 0.5pt of Galvin in the XC before the off just to cover myself in case something else beats him.

Think there's also a concern that Run Wild Fred beating Galvin will do his own Grand National chances no good at all... But they can't all be trying not to win I guess :glee:

Quite like the Bartlett owned multiple above as well.
 
I've done a Galvin (XC) and Conflated (GC) double at 1065/1. Gordon's comments re Galvin lately do rather imply there's a very genuine chance he goes to the XC. Which got me thinking he must have something else for the GC. charlie posted about Conflated this morning and I think that could be, potentially, the reason why. We know Gigginstown love a GC runner and Conflated has proven himself over 3m against the best winning an Irish GC and finishing a narrow 1l second to a rested Clan in the Betway Bowl. That's good form and he shouldn't be 40/1 in my view.

I like that Exar.
 
Would people not be worried that Run Wild Fred absolutely loves losing?
 
Personally don't think the big 'G' is quite ready yet for the naughty step that is the XCC ! :welcoming: He's got another Good Gold Cup campaign in him this season. He is one of the very best out there winning fresh and can't see today being any different. He'll win comfortably and then move onto his Down Royal target. I'll leave the XCC to Delta Work again next March and then perhaps my beloved Galvin can win it in 2024.
