    Yet were he to run he’d be well in with 15 of the 23 opponents - assuming the handicapper is right of course - as they’d be running from out of the handicap.

    Punchestown 2023

    It’s a precursor to the “ No Chasers allowed to run unless trained by a professional trainer named Mullins” rule being introduced next April.

    Punchestown 2023

    I’ve always loved Punchestown and have traveled over for it numerous times but todays card is very underwhelming and despite trying I just can’t muster any interest for it whatsoever. Tomorrow’s is fractionally better thanks largely to the PGC and BMG being able to offer at least a credible...

    I haven’t looked so guessing completely but doesn’t Empire Steel love Kelso and hence could contribute heavily to those stats ?

    How many times have you thought, I have had enough of this game.

    Me neither although I always ease off during the flat season, though not to Grasshopper levels. Ironically, or maybe not, I only started profiting from racing when I didn’t need to about 20 years ago so despite what would seem a fairly excessive annual staking plan I’m fortunate in that it...

    :lol: Market speaking favourably at least. I took 8s yesterday and seriously sweet on him. As long as he gets round and no reason to think he won’t

    What are you backing Today? Part 2

    No worries Reet. Reaffirmed my feelings and was an inexpensive way of doing it. Didn’t get a clear run at one point - though made no difference - and it looked like you needed to be coming down the centre.

    What are you backing Today? Part 2

    Not normally my kind of race (wrong code for a start) but I’ve had a nibble at the 11/4 Betfair as seems a fair price

    F**king disgusting, no matter I’m sure he’ll get some defend him. I don’t bet on AW flat races (and this is partly why) so had no interest but there is simply no excuse for that. Did he really think an eased out length win would stop the handicapper realising he was miles better.

    No idea what you mean Euro. Willie only has 13 of the 22 runners in the G1s for Tuesday.

    Gamble foiled - by the BHA !

    You’re right Fist, I don’t know that they’ve done anything wrong, hence my opening post but those words which Danny quoted suggested they were at best - less than transparent. Why lease the horse and run under your “other name” ? It may be there are logistical reasons that made it necessary but...

    Gamble foiled - by the BHA !

    I think that was my concern Danny. I’m all for the smaller trainer truly plotting one up but that sounded as bent as hell and then they cry foul when someone steps in.

    Gamble foiled - by the BHA !

    Not really sure what to make of this, from today’s RP Trainer Sean Curran was left "flabbergasted" after his heavily backed runner Aces Full was prevented from running two minutes before he was due to take part in the novice handicap chase. The stewards ordered the horse to be withdrawn...

    Betfair are miles out of line with the 12s about Grey Diamond in the Red Rum Handicap on Thursday. I took some 14s last night without NRNB but have just gone in pretty heavy at 12s with that concession
