Yosser, hope you've had a good day mate.
Long story short, an old friend does Cromwells race planning, was chatting today online while on course, tells me Brides Hill has a great chance in the mares, Yeah Man in the Kim Muir is also worth a punt.
Wasn't sure where to put it so folk get on but as you mentioned maybe doing something to share any info on here this week I thought I'd ping it to you and you can let people know, not sure they'd listen to me anyway :D
have a great evening, Be lucky.

What a guy. Cheers Envoi. Already on Yeah Man but now have a big gap in the Mares Chase so will back this. Will have a little top up on Yeah Man when i nip down to Ladbrokes in the morning. Top man
Just checked with someone better connected than myself, Gino was already on anti-biotics, vet was coming in as leg had blown up (swollen) so was going to give him an injection (Dex) to bring down the swelling, he checked and found the infection had spread, they get heat in the area when sore/lame so can be hard to notice an infection, even more so when they're already on anti biotics as you assume thats taking care of things.
If I hear anymore I'll let you know, as it stands they're all a bit sick about it but it can ahppen,even though it shouldn't.
Best wishes.

Thank you very much Envoi, that’s really good of you and much appreciated.
I guess you realised how much I think of the horse.
Such a shame it’s happened to one of the most exciting novice chasers of recent times
Let’s just hope he’s back fit and well as soon as possible and hopefully he can resume his career
Cheers
Hi, I have been learning computer programming for over a year now. Working on a little project atm. Can I ask how you are able to scrap oddschecker without getting blocked by the website?

Good work on the oddsmovent. Very beneficial for many. Thanks again

Hello mate, I'm using a python script to scrape oddschecker, with a library called BeautifulSoup. What project are you working on? I'd be happy to share the code for the web scraping if it would be useful to you.
How’s it going Billy,

Did you get any whispers about Impaire Et Passe’s planned participation at Aintree, notices been cut by a few firms but is still 5/1 WH. Would be good value if he’s an intended runner.

Thanks in advance
Long time lurker on the site, really appreciate the openness and helpfulness of members.
A mug punter who does e/w L15s on longshots (at least double figure prices) for pennies. Member of Elite Racing Group and also own a nostril hair of half a dozen horses with Owners Group. Really enjoy attending various stable tours arranged by them, as well as PTP meets at my local track Lark Hill. Will look to share what I find out, in keeping with FJ tradition!
As a ‘brand new’ member I am very much looking forward to contributing to the forum. I have for some time enjoyed reading the dialogue of a members as a ‘lurker’! I am a member at Cheltenham and have been for over 40 years. Over the years I have subscribed to Chaseform and latterly Raceform interactive. Through these sources I like to build a database of 130+ rated horses and their race history. Building a picture of the variables which best point to their chances. I also rely on stats a lot to inform my betting practice. Now that Cheltenham (festival) is dominated by Mullins and short priced favourites it has become ever more important for me to build an ante-post book. I’m not one to back odds but on if I can help it. I have found the forum to be an essential source of information. I just hope I can contribute In some small way.
Hi BC,

I hadn't even noticed - talk about losing the plot!!!

Thanks for putting me right.

Hope all's good with you and best of luck at Aintree.

Thank you.

I’m still updating the Irish Race Planning Diary results on post one of the NOV month.

That work doesnt lead to a new post showing though, as it’s just an edit and input the result of each race, on Post no 1..

So I’m helping FJ members still, but at the moment not making new posts for the time being.

Given what went on last week when my new and old posts were thrown back at me in a heated discussion about my Festival bets I shared on my own Diary……where the criticism, bizarrely came from someone who doesnt run a Diary or list their own bets.

You couldn’t make up the hypocrisy.

So all good, I’m not gone, just sitting out on new posts, to not inflame the guy I’ve blocked.
Hi mate. I'm enjoying the Cheltenham thread again this year - thanks for doing it. Just one 'observation' that you can choose to ignore it you want. I thought Broadway Boy's performance in the 3m novice chase was particularly taking and the race has historically been a good trial for the RSA / BANC. Winners of the race have gone on to win and place in the same season and if Broadway Boy turns up for the BANC of NHC in March, he runs a big race (IMO of course!).
Roll on March!!

Thanks mate! I must admit that race very nearly made it in it was just the fact that in last few years it's only thrown up a few 3rd places. Certainly worth keeping an eye on especially after that talking performance from Broadway Boy! Must admit I'm personally hoping that is a big tick for Flooring Porter to back his first run up this weekend!
Hi Jim,

Good news on Nara - Henry sez in the ATR stable tour sh’s be making her debut in a winners juvenile hurdle at the end of the month or in December.

Game on!!!

Yepp good to see her get a little mention Rich!

Tell you what mind, Willie buying Anzadam has certainly put a spanner in the works, and with the Donnellys buying, that could mean that Mundi does get held back :/ which is what I heard a month or 2 back
Paul, did you ever get around to posting some short clips re "Getting On" this is not an age thing:)

You touched upon it in the Naiad subject.
