Stayers Hurdle 2020

Fair point and probably what I'll end up doing... It just doesn't feel the same laying a shorty and it bombing compared to backing a dog and seeing it romp home :highly_amused:

You haven't really justified any reason to take Paisley Park on yet.... stand your ground if you do, not many people brave (or stupid) enough to take him on from what I've seen! :highly_amused:

I actually don't think I've heard anyone taking PP on!?



Place lay, whoosh.

Hmm very hard to justify it credibly really.

However I guess a big reason is that he's shorter than Big Bucks ever was, and shorter than Thistlecrack was... I just cannot be having that tbh. I really like Paisley Park and love how he's rather an unsung superstar compared to the likes of Benie, Altior, Tiger Roll etc. but that price gives me the creeps.

Other than that I do wonder how much longer that insane gas tank can get him over the line or how full can that tank be. He is a lovely age but if Summerville Boy sacrifices himself and goes full tilt again then maybe something else can pick up Paisley towards the end....hence why I've backed Penhill.

Again Paisley is his price for a damn good reason, even if I think it is very compressed. The horse is a complete tool but as the shortest price horse of the festival...in a race like the Stayers...the lunatic in me just has to oppose.

There's just nobody jumping out at me now...Penhill with a push but other than that...meh
 
Unibet boosted him to evens tonight.

I reckon Betfair will boost him to evens on Thursday during their preview.

I reckon bookies will offer evens for flash prices etc...

I reckon you can get a decent amount on at evens if you can be bothered.



Bookies will push him to evens, even if they 'lose' and he wins, they can expect most of their money back anyway on the Friday!


Thistlecrack isn't a fair comparison, he was evens without being the reigning champion..... Big Bucks is more similar, and he would have been 5/6 at this stage etc, ready to hit evens on the morning....

These boosts are limited, Unibets was £20 max so they’re hardly going out on a limb and mortgaging the company.
Media gimmicks these offers...

"I reckon you can get a decent amount on at evens if you can be bothered."

Takes multiple accounts though. :highly_amused:



He'll be widely available at Evens between now at the start of the race I'd imagine.
 
Tony Mullins made a good case for Summerville Boy tonight.

Also reported by Blake that Apples Jade goes here with blinkers on.
 
I may regret this bet tomorrow evening but William
Henry is currently 40/1 to win Stayers without Paisley Park, that’s 8/1 for a top 5 finish if you bet this e/w. Unless I’ve missed some news that he’s not racing that’s a massive price with PP. I found it in the William Hill specials.

EW 3 places so Top 4 assuming PP places surely? Nice angle though remember Hills are not NRNB too
 
increasingly convinced PP gets beat - these things just happen. contrary is the way to go.

Yeah I know it’s not NRNB that’s why I mentioned I might regret it tomorrow as it’s such a massive price for a horse that won last years Coral Cup there must be something up with him I’ve not come across yet??

It must be a cock up by Hills as William Henry is 40/1 to win the race with Paisley Park in the market?? If you fancy William Henry to place then act quick!!

Paisley Park looks to have a good chance here.
 
BEtway are 6/4 Paisley Park

Restricted stakes I think, I can't get £6 on.
 
Dare I place a few shilling on Apples Jade today with a new jockey and first time blinkers applied :stupid:
