September ‘23 Yankee

I only scanned through the payout rules but it seemed to me that PP gave themselves the right to declare that linked accounts are restricted to the daily payout limit as a group. Fair enough where it's multiple accounts for the same person with family and friends. What caught my eye was that they can assume that any group of people putting on the same bet at around the same time are acting in concert and are also subject to a group daily payout limit. Worth bearing in mind with these yankees.

What about a Trainers' one this month, but avoid both Mullins and Elliott?

Balls of steel, Fat jockeys. Balls of steel.
 
Like the trainer yankees! Do we do Elliott next month as we'll have seen the NHC horse at Cheltenham and have the Down Royal entries before the end of it?

Yea I think it’s a good play to wait until Down Royal
 
Given that Mullins and Elliott are liable to have half the winners over the 4 days between them, I'd be more inclined to use the term "feet of clay".

Maybe 2 from Mullins and 2 from Elliott is the way forward.

….in respect of trainers; I certainly think Nicholls could be getting his Cheltenham mojo back.

Captain Teague
Stay Away Fay
Stage Star

Saying that, I’d be in favour of just trying to find 4 winners this month. Stable tours will start to appear next month to help a more informed choice.

What about a shorties (non-ew) one then as Stable Tours will no doubt make them even shorter whilst also making others at longer odds more attainable?

….it wouldn’t be for me taking 4 shorties over 6 months out but it might appeal to others.

I don’t mind one anchoring a bet, we got Marine National on board last month and El Fab has made a number of bets. CH maybe too short given slight element of doubt as per target, leaving GDC who a few posters seem happy to take on.
 
Or a ladies one - loads of decent prices to be considered there...

Qualimatrix (?)
Gala Marceau (although already been in a couple)
Impervious
Dinoblue
Marie's Rock (I'll keep banging that drum!)
You Wear It Well
Brighterdaysahead

Naturally, there are some target issues, but it gives a slightly different option in a few races and some really belting prices if people want to take the chance with a couple

….quite like that one Odin. Have thought about the Mares races myself but widening it to include mares in other races gives plenty of scope. It really doesn’t matter if we include a selection more than once.

BDA getting positive reports this week makes her an obvious nomination.
 
I've made this point before but, in my view and from personal experience, you need to make a clear distinction between mares who are owned by the big owners and mares who are leased and run in the name of racing clubs or similar. The leased mares are there strictly for the black type that enhances broodmare value. Once that's achieved the mare is likely to go to the breeding sheds at an early opportunity to protect that value for the ultimate owner.
 
Feel like I'm ploughing a bit of a lone furrow on him at times but I'm surprised we haven't had Fastorslow in one yet. To me one of the best double figure prices out there and I think he'll love the extra furlong.

Your definitely not alone. nortonscoin200 and I are certainly two others who are keen. I'd still fancy Galopin but can't be many better ew propositions in my view.

I’m still on the fence about him. Just feels like one of those end of season freaky results to me against horses that the gold cup left it’s mark on. Basically I’d like to see him back it up before I’m completely sold on the idea.
 
How about one that features UK based trainers only. Everything from Mullins and Elliott is always overbet and offers little value. I think it's likely that Paul Nicholls, Nicky Henderson, Dan Skelton et al will find a few winners between them too. If the debate is as good as last month I reckon we might just find them too.

Aye, I'm similar. Backed him at a reasonable price (compared to SP) in the Ultima as well and the fact he was beaten there I may be holding against him somewhat :biggrin-new: Running the Grand National winner so close while giving him a few lb is a very reasonable performance in its own right. But he's still improved about a stone at Punchestown, which I'm not sure I can have.

​​​​​​​Happy enough to watch him for now. As, unless he takes on GDC and wins first time out, I don't think he's one that'll shorten much after a run.

Alan King reporting Edwardstone to be stepped up in trip, would the Ryanair interest any with that?

20/1 available with 365.

Given plenty think he would have won the champion chase but for the ground (I wasn’t in that camp :devilish:), worth a punt imo if UK related trainers is the theme.
