nearly 3 years lurking on the forum before posting this, talk about playing the long game Ron

some points made in kevin blake's latest blog https://www.attheraces.com/blogs/kevin-blake/21-March-2021/reflecting-on-a-magnificent-cheltenham-festival

yeah ive bet this the thinking was they'll have a plus tard going to retain his savills crown plus the race is likely to be a lot stronger like it usually is these days (purely because it's in ireland :whistle:), so they may look for an alternative with him allaho might be in the picture as...

watched it back again last night and it was some performance from the winner. didn't miss a beat and was idling like hell up the hill i reckon. plenty left in the tank.

Best performance was probably Allaho, maybe Honeysuckle. Honourable mentions for Bob Olinger, Shishkin & Appreciate it. Best story was obviously Blackmore. Please for HdB as well as he seems a good guy and to win the 3 biggest races of the week is some feat. Tiger Roll obviously was fantastic...

tony calvin inferring doping is part of the issue, on twitter, is an interesting one :blink:

anyone done anything yet? did a perm for fun of bob olinger (marsh) appreciate it (arkle) and monkfish (gold cup) with envoi allen (klng george) lobbed in

you'd be a hell of a poker player luke in reality i think anyone criticising what he's done when faced with such an amount is just not being remotely realistic

he got one not exactly like he had a lot of time to burn waiting for one either

what's the alternative though? let it run? as i said earlier that's the best choice in a pure maths sense but who amongst us would turn down a guaranteed 250k+? it's a life changing amount for most people and he's essentially squeezed a bit more value out of the original offer.

time to get involved then. not like their prices are egregiously short for every runner either.

that is smart cos he's essentially taken the original offer and put 25k of it on envoi at evens when he's a 4/9 shot (that should really be 1/3)

won't be 5 places anymore though sadly

1:20 - Envoi Allen 1:55 - Milliner 2:30 - Samcro (Nap) 3:05 - Fury Road 3:40 - The Shunter 4:15 - Roseys Hollow 4:50 - Hold The Note

quite simple, if 275k isnt going to make much difference to his life then let it run because it's a good 60k short of what the offer should be on pure mathematical terms but to most mere mortals you'd have to take it. personally id take the offer then lump a fair amount of it on envoi as a sort...

you'd tend to think these things are cyclical but ireland have been becoming more and more dominant for the last 5 or so years, and the big owners are definitely favouring the training stables there tony keenan on one of the previews i watched was very clear his strategy was heavily favouring...

have 5/2 on Envoi which i put on after his first chase run 18/1 Samcro e/w

a good day

notebook proximity means chacun about run to form there?

yeah for a moment there i thought he was gonna unship townend at the last. few other scratchy jumps. strong example there of why so many of these faves are/were tough to oppose this week. a stronger renewal and something might have got him beat on a bit of an off-day. nothing remotely on the...
