It was a very good performance but he was 1/2 and the bookies have him odds on for the Arkle FFS

Slade Steel £500 Win @ 16/1 (Skybet). Ballymore

I actually called them to moan about recent changes to their iOS app the other day. Some fuckwit has decided anybody watching live TV or replays on their tablet or mobile device should now only be able to watch it in portrait mode :mad: Turning your device now makes no difference so you have to...

Irish Point £500 @ 16/1 (General). Stayers Hurdle

The cap was labelled “ridiculous” by trainer Gordon Elliott, who has frequently run more than four horses in top-tier British handicaps. However, Grand National-winning trainer Richard Newland, who has lobbied the BHA for restrictions on larger stables to maintain the competitiveness of jump...

Willmont, Constitution Hill & Shishkin all NRs

Grassy is right. This is a horse racing forum and I’m sure everyone on here would take advantage of an idiot bookmaker offering double figure odds about Constitution Hill winning the Champion hurdle so why wouldn’t investors take advantage of the fact sub prime debts that on their own would be...

Pleasantly surprised it’s going ahead so am onboard, albeit missed 25 so have 22/1 6 Places

Was 2 years ago but other than that agreed. Cant be arsed betting though as 1/5 the meeting is off. And 3lb higher, not 6 lower btw Edit : You mean physical weight

Agreed so how great to see the prize go to the only runner from a different stable.

Would have thought this fairly common knowledge by now but Iroko, a 10-1 chance for the Turners Novices’ Chase and Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase, has been ruled out for the season with a foot injury. Liked him this season too

365, Sky and Betfair have him into 9s now though and blue across the board. Any chance he goes of fav ? Only 2 points longer than The Real Whacker with 365

Two ways of looking at in IMO; 1. Stage Star and The Real Whacker take each other on, which seems quite likely and set it up for something off the pace, 2. Their class takes everything else out of their comfort zone and they have it between them. I can't help but thinking 162 for the Real...

Aye but the declaration and thus NRNB concession will attribute to some of that. and your semi plagiarised signature has been the story of my season (and beyond)

Seriously WTF is going on with the big handicap chases in Ireland. The Troytown on Sunday currently has 24 entries, 17 of which are trained by Elliott. I don’t know what the answer is but in what universe can that be good for the game.

I liked Sebastopol when I first looked at the race but as above, he wouldn’t have wanted this rain and he’s always more than capable of tipping up.

Some love (myself included) on the ante post thread for Easy As That for in form Venetia. Take out his Sandown flop when last seen last season and he's hardly seen another horse in facile wins over all tries in excess of 2m. Soft ground will only help his chances, unlike some of those with big...

It's not technically ante post now that the decs are out but as good as Captain Teague has looked, the 2m5f novice hurdle on Friday will take some getting for a novice with the ground riding soft and the Big Doyen likely to make it a real test. The Big Doyen isn't out of it but Captain Teague...
