    Interesting!
    I'd prefer the switch. I can't see him beating footpad in the arkle. I think they'll most likely probably go arkle. But deffinately Good to see it's a consideration,
    if they want to WIN, the longer race would be the way to go. And as we've seen with AJ, it's all about the win.

      9/1 NRNB for the JLT is probably quite fair because he wouldn't go off that price! Half it probably.

        Yes 100% agree.
        I have all my stake any race, but I'd advise that bet.

        Oleary said he hoped he was an rsa horse at the start of the season.

          This will be the worst result for me!

          I actually think PM will have Footpad backers worried, personally, and they'd be happy to see him re-routed.

            Still unlikely IMO but considering how keen you are, you should take 9/1 NRNB JLT? In the JLT he wouldn't have Footpad to beat.... would be more winnable really?

              TBF, Footpad winning the Arkle is not the worst result of the festival for me, and I have enough on PM that I won't be putting any more money on him now, for any race, until possibly the day, IF he does go for the JLT.

                Far more winnable imo.

                  I think it's also far more winnable for Footpad and even someone like Sceau Royal, but no word of them going for it

                    It's not though. They're the ones PM has to beat . Not the other way round. SR is an out and out 2 miler he is not entered. PM is a former ptp horse. And they can see footpad right there as fav infront of him.

                      And Footpad has won over 2m 3f over hurdles, PM hasn't, his one try over 2m 2f he got stuffed!

                        I'll agree to disagree, there's alot of water under the bridge since then, he was a shell of a horse in a grade 1. And was a poor jumper.

                        I find it incredibly hard to see him turning over the form with footpad and the jlt as having a very weak fav imo. . All depends what Mr oleary sees.

                          Owners the big difference there though.... I'd back it as its risk free and no way he'd be 9/1 on the day? No way he'd be a bigger price than he is for the Arkle that is for sure?

                          DEpends how much you want to "tie-up" as it is still unlikely.

                            Theres no reason for footpad to go up he s the fav he's beat PM he dosent need to avoid him.

                            • Beautiful leaps in the first half of the race....
                              I love how low he is and aggresive.

                              That was absolutely fantastic. I am absolutely over the moon with that.
