The Forum Monthly Yankees 2019

Barney Dwan in the Ultima. 33/1 with Hills which is tempting me. He has good festival form. He's only rated 143 at the moment so that mark could easily be blown early in the season, especially if he lines up in the Hennessy.
 
Anyone hear any updates on Robin Roes rehab? He would be a potential Coral Cup type for me if showing some of his old zest!

Robin Roe
Verdict: Another who has joined me from Dan Skelton and it is well documented that he's been hard to train since picking up an injury for his former connections. On his last start, he fell in the Grade 1 'Challow Hurdle' at Newbury when going well so he's obviously a very smart horse. Certainly not an easy horse to train though but we'll look at starting him off in a hurdle race in late autumn. If I'm able to get him back on the track then he has the world at his feet.
 
Probably old news now, but he’s with Olly Murphy.

Cheers lads couldn't find any info on him myself, will wait & see if Olly can get him back on the track first after reading that!

Worth noting that 888sport are actually best odds on this yankee. But the chances of anyone here actually being able to get a bet on with them is probably slim.

Keep up the good work MoM. :encouragement: Not an easy task!

I got on with 888 after being referred to the traders for a bit....

No bother. I just didn’t want it to look like I dominate the main threads of these Yankees. But someone had to take control or we’d never end up with a final four each month.

I’ll see if I can sort an account. 4500/1 is a big difference to the 3700/1 of Betfair who are next best.

I found that withdrawing money from 888 was as difficult as placing a bet in the first place. I had to scan my passport and proof address before I could get my money out. An awful firm to deal with from my experience...... I'll stick to Betfair at reduced odds.

With the news about Malone Road, I haven’t placed it yet. It’s only a few quid but I might still change it - best odds now Skybet.
 
Is the October one right?

Menghli Khan in the RSA?
 
Updated with February in.

Cheers all - same again next year?
