The 2025 Longshot Thread

[Outsider]

I was on Goshen as well,got crowded out and not well positioned.but a good profit.
Bet 365 extra 25% boost.

 

[Desert Orchid]

Yes, I got that wee boost as well.

Seems like we all backed the wrong long shot to place in Ireland? Relieved that I followed you with Goshen. As with Hewick I usually back him because I’d hate to not be willing him to win if he was upsides at the last. Let’s hope the Moore horses are starting to find their form now.

Leo 4.05

Still, in the same race I was always going to back another longshot and managed to get 50/1 Lisnamult Lad when I was only expecting 25/1.

The swings and arrows of outrageous roundabouts...

"The swings and arrows of outrageous roundabouts..." indeed. LL ran a great race but was ultimately run out of fourth place. Maybe just did too much up front.

Looking at Grange Walk, Leopardstown 4.05 on Saturday. Has come 2nd in this race previously + was in the act of running well in it again a year later, before coming down 2 out. Eleven, or 12lb lower now. Looks out of form at the moment hence the 50/1 available. Who knows, back in the race may rejuvenate him.

Nice one !
Ran a great race 3rd at 50/1.
Turned a so so day into a winning one.
Thanks

If able to return to form at this track 50/1 looks a huge price.
Robicheaux and one other have mentioned this and he definitely deserves a second look with generous odds on offer.

Tipped up by a couple on here.
Nice one
