The December Forum Yankee .

Have I read this right then?

We are saying it’s:
Delta Work
Angels Breath
Stand Up and Fight
Quel Destin

If that’s the case. Best odds are 5,759/1 with Ladbrokes

Like that selection a lot MOM....
 
Battleoverdoyen - Ballymore Hurdle
Coo Star Sivola - Ultima Handicap Chase
Paisley Park - Stayers Hurdle
Ask for Glory - Champion Bumper

Really hoping Paul Nicholls lets AFG go for Chelters, if not then replace with Mortal in the National Hunt 4Miler.

Welcome to the forum.

Bumper a brave race to be keen on one! Interested to hear your opinions on AFG :)
 
I thought we had Topofthegame over Delta Work?


You get the final call though MoM.... let us know by Noon :devilish:

I know I kinda started this thing (or helped organise it) but I don’t like that pressure of having the last word.

So once again I’ll do what I seem to do every month and put it down to a vote.




The final place will be for either Delta Work or Topofthegame for the RSA. Voting closes Tuesday evening.

I’ll open us up with the first vote for Delta Work
 
I’d go Topofthegame at current prices as I think the winner will come from GB this year!
 
Fair nuf.

I like both quite a lot, but as the target is just about more certain and the price is bigger, Topofthegame for me.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m honoured (is that the right word?) to be given the decision but I’m always wary that someone will think I’m taking over with these.

But somebody has to organise it don’t they. And I’m happy to do that. I only do them at 0.5 points per yankee anyway.

I can’t inagine anyone stakes more than a point on these Yankees surely?
 
There is no real pressure mate. You have the final decision as reward for organising it IMO...

You aren't forcing anyone to back it, if they disagree that strongly, they can place their own :)

I don't think people are taking them too seriously.

That’s how it should be. They’re just a bit of fun. Kept us entertained during the summer months on here which was the original point.

Absolute scenes when we get the first 3 go in on a bet rolling onto something on the Friday. I can see the Racing Post on the Saturday now: ‘Racing forum coup costs bookies 6-figures’
 
TOTG would be my choice

And thanks MOM for 'looking after' the forum yankee, its a bit of fun and i'm sure that's how we all see it

Kev, I loved the way Ask For Glory ran at Chepstow, absolutely bosses the race, and strolled home. A big money purchase from Irish PTP scene, one that Nicholls assistant (HD) thinks is a future chaser and maybe not a Cheltenham runner this season. However IMHO the Champion Bumper is wide open, this horse on debut probably has as good a RPR figure as any, and if the trainer runs him next, in a winners bumper, and he bolts in again, I think their could be a big chance he will run at Chelters, and maybe even start fav. Certainly worth a go at 16/1 with Skybet NRNB. Take a look at the Chepstow video and let me know your thoughts.
 
What’s the verdict then fellas ?
 
Topofthegame wins the vote. The December Forum Yankee is:

Angels Breath
Stand Up and Fight
Quel Destin
Topofthegame

8,639/1 - Ladbrokes
 
How about
Angel Breath supreme
Stand up and fight fox hunter
Tiger roll x country
Carefully selected AB

I'm tempted to add this now before AB runs, and before CS runs... and I may even add Pic D'orhy

I’ve just done this Canadian too Kev.
