Stupid Questions

He was entered up over here and given 140 I think. Saxon Warrior will be able to confirm.

what is the best site to find a horses current rating?

I tend to use RPRs a fair bit these days, especially when looking at novices, so I spend a fair bit of time buried in the Racing Post and their site shows RPRs and (OR) Official Ratings on same profile page.
Different sites/appearances suit different people but you won’t go short of info you need on RP...

thanks i think I saw mention he'd been raised again due to adagios easy victory so was looking to confirm that as other have mentioned it would perhaps change his festival target.
 
Since the 140 provisional rating was given Adagio who finished 2nd to Duffle Coat has won at Cheltenham and gone up 6lbs. My view next entry in Britain he will be 145/146

I know you can get rises on collateral form but 6lbs would be harsh! He has the advantage of running in the country so the hcapper isn't guessing like he has to with some Irish.
 
I would presume Duffle Coat’s rating will be irrelevant and he’ll turn up in the Triumph. My guess is he’ll be help up well off the pace just in case they go to fast, just as he did when he beat Adagio.

What tracker is the best to use that will notify you of entries for horses you have tracked? Haven't used the Racing Post one but I assume this will do the job?

I'm sure the R.P one is fine H.T.R , i use the racing t.v one , which is very good too .

Think they all do.

I used RTV and ATR ones before, both worked fine.
 
Doesn't atr only notify declarations? I use irishracing.com for entries.

That must be the 4th time I've got the declarations and entries wrong within a month :glee:


irishracing.com is best for most things ... I may well set a tracker up with them actually. So I can see ENTRIES
 
Definitely the right thread for this question

not sure if it has been discussed

if Irish horses are not allowed to travel and bookmakers agree to a justice refund on Antepost bets

could this include a horse that has picked up an injury ?

for example Monalee

This is a guess but I'd imagine they'll use the race entries as the basis for refunds. If a horse isn't entered at the time of the travel ban, I'd be surprised if the horse was refunded.

Very murky waters.
Why refund a bet placed on a horse who is injured and cannot therefore run regardless of entries ?
What about horses who get snowed in, lorries break down, ferries cancelled etc etc etc.

I’m still of the view this is a pointless discussion because Irish horses will travel over but any gestures offered by bookmakers will be a dangerous precedent.
Don’t be surprised if next years AP books offer no value with all horses quoted 3/1 if bookies will be expected to refund all AP non runners regardless of the reason.
And I said this somewhere before, why would trainers ever voluntarily announce an injury when the yard/connections have all backed the horse?

Any concession would set a very dangerous precedent for me...
 
Evening all. A mate of mine wants to put on a couple of festival lucky 15s with Paddy Power's NRNB and has asked me what will happen in the event of non runners. Embarrassingly, I don't know the answer and can't make sense of the explanation on the PP website.

Assuming he did a 1pt lucky 15 and one selection didn't run, would this effectively become a 2.14pt Patent? Or would all bets involving the NR be voided and it became a 1pt Patent with 8pts returned even if all selections lost? Or would it be something else entirely?

Any help greatly appreciated. FWIW, my mate is the unluckiest bloke on Earth and has never had an ante post winner at Cheltenham. NRs are probably his best hope for a return!

If NRNB, they get 'voided' so any doubles with the voided horse would be singles. And trebles in the yankee become doubles...and the "4-fold" becomes a treble..... then 'single' on that horse is returned.
 
On forum under people’s usernames, what are the little orange bars? Probably something totally obvious I know.
