    The 2025 Greatwood (Handicap) Hurdle

    The same owners of Alexei also have Jurancon as a possible runner, although all his form is on soft ground, so I wonder if he is ground dependant. He's trained by David Pipe, who wouldn't be top of anyone's list to train a Greatwood Hurdle winner, but you never know. Maybe Jurancon is a decent...

    The 2025 Longshot Thread

    She finished 6th at SP of 100/1 today, after finishing well from a pretty difficult race position, near enough last she was for about a mile. The cheekpieces did appear to settle her down a bit. One for another day perhaps. She's got form on the all weather so I'll watch out over the winter to...

    The 2025 November Handicap

    The Teller would like to give a shout to Tiernan. Beaten at 1/5 last time in an egg and spoon race, though better can be expected today by this son of Dubawi, for trainer Iain Jardine, who I couldn't put anything past. 🤣 My overall take on the race, is there's either a dozen well handicapped...

    The 2025 Longshot Thread

    Doncaster 3.10 Crystal Flyer has to improve a lot to get involved on official ratings, however, she ran well enough last time in fifth when once again racing too keen and freely. Connections stick the first time cheekpieces on tomorrow and I'm prepared to take a chance they can work the oracle...

    2025 Melbourne Cup - Race Prediction, Tips, Picks, & Expert Thoughts on Which Horse Will Win On The Day

    WH worked for a few furlongs and then packed in for me. I think I'd rather pay the tenner Attheraces subscription next year for guaranteed coverage. Not ideal but anyway. You get what you pay for sometimes.

    2025 Melbourne Cup - Race Prediction, Tips, Picks, & Expert Thoughts on Which Horse Will Win On The Day

    I had a horrible time watching the live feed, both on the link on this thread and two different bookmaker websites. I had to wait for the replay on the Attheraces website. I was glad to see Torranzino hold on for fifth, for some each way returns anyway.

    2025 Melbourne Cup - Race Prediction, Tips, Picks, & Expert Thoughts on Which Horse Will Win On The Day

    I've no idea really, but I'm having a man's bet on Flatten The Curve. Savers on Torranzino and Athabascan.

    2025 Melbourne Cup - Race Prediction, Tips, Picks, & Expert Thoughts on Which Horse Will Win On The Day

    Flatten The Curve is a french bred, this is perhaps a leap in logic, but I'm hoping it might help him handle testing conditions.

    2025 Melbourne Cup - Race Prediction, Tips, Picks, & Expert Thoughts on Which Horse Will Win On The Day

    He's been on The Teller's radar for a few days. I'm also thinking Flatten The Curve is on a very upward curve. I may well split stakes on these two, both e/w of course. With a saver on Athabascan too, and a good prayer for Onesmoothoperator for the Geordie boy, doing it large, Brian Ellison.

    Backing Venetia Williams' Chasers In November with Andrew Mount

    Anyone who calls a book The Skint Mob with regards to punters shows what they think of us. I've heard some of his interviews. He asks the right questions but lacking in any real emotion. It's as if he's either disinterested or holds others in contempt.
