A bit of a premature thread admittedly, but how would I go about having a bet on this race, seeing as no markets exist at present?

Ladbrokes and Hills would probably quote a price if you gave them a bell.

 

[Colin Phillips]

.............a ridiculously short price, of course.

You can have 28/1 about any Steve Gollings runner with me. Can't say fairer than that.

I'd want at least 500/1 that he'd have a runner in the race. The horse I want to back is trained in Middleham

 

[Colin Phillips]

Not John Lightbody by any chance?

Bullseye

Those boys with the stopwatches and binoculars on the hills around the gallops can never keep it to themselves....

If I got a phone call at work to quote a price for this horse I would quote 66/1 tops. I'd be comfortable taking a few hundred at 50/1. I'm sure this seems miserable but that would be my reaction to a genuine request. Let us know the quotes you get.

I'm not sure it's worth ringing up to put a tenner on lol
