What are you backing Today? Part 2

So what happens if you're looking at the prices on Mon/Tues and fancy one, do Hills offer the same prices in the shops they do online?
 
Yeah Hills are pretty good now for ante post prices. They've got everything they've got online on those machines in the shops now.

If I want an ante post price from Betfred I can get it by asking.
 
You don’t feel you’re missing out on potentially better odds elsewhere, Marb?

Even at ten or twenty quid a bet an extra point about a winning price is worth another bet down the line. Margins are fine in this game.
 
As for today my only bets are in the Ces: the two long shots on that thread plus the two JP runners (win only). Marginal preference for The Shunter.

Nah not really.

The bank sending me emails about my level of gambling activity just tipped me over the edge.

I beiieve it could affect my ability to get loans etc in future for mortgages or anything like that aswell.

I'm happy whacking on my yankees down the shop. For the time being anyway.
 
Chepstow 4.00
Il Ridoto looks to have been given a great chance here off 140. I think he’s better than he showed in his run at the festival when he suffered from having been asked to go 3m at Kempton when he clearly didn’t get home. Happy also to put a line through his run at Cheltenham in April at the end of a long season.
I may be delusional but 9/2 seems very fair

I think that’s sensible. And use cash when you go to the pub as well.

Bit late now but on Saturday morning PN was pretty much saying he wouldn't be ready "fit enough to run, will improve, PP the target"

And post race...

"You can do all you like with them at home but nothing compares to a run. I was thrilled with Il Riditto on Saturday and hopefully he will run well in the Paddy Power Gold Cup (16 November). He loves Cheltenham."
 
Thanks Chaumi
As you say a bit late but my own fault really as I didn’t consider the possibility the fat controller may only have had him half cooked
FWIW I’m not sure the horse really gets home over the stiff 2m 4.5 furlongs at the pace of a PP so I thought Saturday‘a slightly shorter trip would suit

Spoke to someone the other day who said PNs horses looked positively fat when he saw them recently and said virtually everything looks like it needs the run. Probably changed his feed regime and hasn’t got exercise to feed ratio right yet.
 
Kempton 7.15 Dynamic Talent.

He's being backed and I can understand why. He's a CD winner but often slow out the stalls. If he breaks within 3 lengths of the rest he can still win. It's just another egg and spoon race, after all.

Dynamic Monkey would have been a better name for this horse.

He'll probably have a good day or two this winter, but I feel I won't be on again.
 
Surely of he is as good as Ryan Moore says Kyprios should be 1/3 today.
At his current odds I sense "A Bet to Nothing"

simply have 600 points on Kyprios and when he hacks up... 🤞
Have 400 points on Economics...what have you got to lose?😄
