The race that's giving you sleepless nights?

No point in losing sleep over anything that you can't control.

If you're losing sleep over something that you can control then you're probably not controlling it well enough.
 
Good OP, like the question.

The race that's giving me the 'sleepless night' would be the Supreme...

Angel's Breath, in particular, is giving me the most to worry about. I have the 33/1 tucked away which I can let ride for better or worse, BUT and I have a trixie (boosted with ladbrokes):

Angel's Breath 13/2
Cilaos Emery 22/1
Ok Corral 18/1

I was very much hoping for AB to win authoritatively this weekend, so now I'm worrying about him being short of match practice and he may well end up being the best horse in the race in time, but will Henderson have him primed for the Supreme? With his record? I can't say I'm confident.

I don't think anyone is literally losing sleep archie :p

You saying though you'll get your 40 winks the Thursday night before you have a single priced runner in the Gold Cup?

I don't believe you :p and you can't control that ;)

I wouldn't worry about him getting a run. He's in on Friday. If it's not Friday it will be shortly after.

A long time to go. I'm not losing any sleep over it just yet.

Kev, great looking bet and you should copy it into ‘your best trixie’ thread on page 2. Hope the bet bet lands

Haha, until I know the target is confirmed I'm not sure it's my best bet yet :p

It is up there though at this stage :)
 
I've got some good positions on Delta Work. Thankfully have the any race, but the multis all have RSA and it looks a strong race.

I've tried to vary multiples and use free bets but it's the time of year where I start to assess my blindspots
 
Now we are just a few days out, surely it's worth revisiting this thread?
Personally still waiting for the devastating announcement that Monalee is being rerouted to the Gold Cup
 
The whole of the Wednesday!! For a decade now I’ve always had a hammering on the Wednesday and then recovered on the Thursday & Friday

Why is that???? Right? I always have a torrid Wednesday for some reason!
