Not your fancy accumulators, not even what you think is the biggest banker of the meeting.

The one horse you need most to get the job done who will make you the most money. Whether it be you've had fancy exchange prices for small stakes or a great big lump on a short priced good thing or whether it's the one that seems to be in every bet you've made. If you can have just one result at the whole festival what would it be? I'm talking the one you get the prayer mat out for!

Mine will no doubt be Mohaayed winning the County Hurdle.

What's yours ?

Edit, you said one.
It's not as important as it once was, but Finians Oscar JLT would be genuinely arousingly good.

Our Duke would complete several ante-post doubles with Might Bite (King George). He will also close-out a couple of ante-post trebles, if Altior consents in the Champion Chase.

I’ve more hope than expectation at this stage, though my chances probably improve, if the ground for the Gold Cup is as bad as some are predicting.

I am in the exact same boat with the exception of Buveur D'Air instead of Altior. I must say I'm a lot more optimistic than a few months back and it was encouraging to see the money stacked up on him at the machine this morning
 
As a single my biggest winner is Samcro in the Ballymore. I've got plenty on from 14's down.

I'm also in a similar position to Grassy and Frontrunner with fair size bets on Might Bite from the King George 3/1 with both Altior 5/4 and Buveur D'air 5/2 individually, and also the treble at early antepost prices.

Just looking back at my anteposts I've had some nice ones fall by the wayside, but I'm still holding on to plenty of very good ones. Also my antepost multiples are still in healthy shape, despite some of the recent injury news.
 
Douvan Queen Mum/Ryanair if he runs in either

Also the Skybet request a bets on Elliott/Mullins/Hendo winner totals. Backed 13(10s)/14(9s) and 16 (25s). If they managed 16 my week would be made but even just getting to 13 is very good profit.
 
I've half a dozen big ones this year, really gone for it and have the best ap I've probably ever had.

L'ami Serge. Stacks on each way at 16s,12s and 10s and also have him in ew doubles
Farclas. 20s ap and also in a double with Waiting Patiently from Ascot
Top Notch. Backed from 25s down
Might Bite. 14s and 10s plus a wedge NRNB and same with Farclas in a double with WP
Al Boum Photo. 14s RSA and any race. Plus 10s ew NRNB
Monalee. 10s RSA plus 6s and 4s NRNB. Also backed him at 14s for the JLT w/o NRNB concession
Singlefarmpayment. 16s and 14s also in ew doubles and a win double with UDS from Clarence House
Invitation Only JLT. 14s ap and also 6s NRNB


Ideally I'd need at least two of the above to win to ensure a profitable Fesitval.

I've a few that return a similar amount but Redicean would be the most satisfying and only just short of most financially rewarding, having backed him at 25/1 straight after his hurdles debut and then pressing up at 16s and 10s.

I'll start placing my bets in the next few days, although I'd usually be having equal stakes on my selections/bets which makes it hard to post an answer to the question on this thread. I have about 10-15 (singles) lined up this year, (which now includes Kings Socks; thanks to Grasshopper for highlighting this one). However, I may have slightly more on what I perceive as my two strongest fancies (at the current prices), which will either be Solomon Grey whose in the County, (but touch-and-go to make the cut), or Shantou Flyer who actually has two entries, but who I'd prefer to see run in the Ultima.

FWIW I'll update later in the week.

Look now you've corrupted Marble ! I think Maruco was probably the instigator but I'll be damned if I'm going to single out a hobbit !

Can a newbie hand out Red Cards to rule breakers or am I likely to get my arse kicked :lol:

Btw, Danny, I did Mohaayed last year in The County. I'm sure he'll be there at the business end, so good luck. I think Solomon Grey could have loads in hand of the handicapper. They're both trained by the same trainer, so reading trainer comments on the day it should be interesting as to who they fancy more.
