Cheltenham Bumper 2018

I wouldnt worry at all. The other 2 are rightfully shortening after fantastic performances at the weekend and going to there rightful place in the market. Hollowgraphic as a result has a slight drift

If it's true I'll be dissapointed as he's one of my bigger bets but I'm not cashing out at the value offered of only 12/1 to back again at 7/1 nrnb

[Scooby91]

A £200 lay order at 9 suggests it's a genuine issue and there's a thief with info trying to cash in.

I've just backed Rhinestone each way at 10/1 NRNB, I was taken with his effort on Saturday having previously smashed a Mullins hotpot, he gave me the impression he would improve for a proper racing pace...

200 at 9.0 is very little that's the fair market price. After the weekend and rapid sacape dunvegan well beaten.

Makes sense Scooby and if all is well quite like the fact that Willie put Hollowgraphic up after seeing Blackbow's win

There’s no liquidity anywhere, with tenners and scores up there that’s a stand out amount

Totally agree, I have a feeling that Hollowgraphic works best at home out of all of the bumper horses for him to mention him, and then say "he's a very good horse"

Bear in mind Hollowgraphic was available at 33s for a decent period of time so quite possible that some are looking to lay off in light of the impressive preformances at the weekend

Could literally be any reason for this amount, some traders for instance? After all, the horse was backed at bigger prices on the exchanges too.

Won't be reading an awful lot in to it until 'actual' news breaks.

Back problem with Hollowgraphic. Missed a piece of work but they are working hard to try get him ready.

Thanks Jon, appreciated

No worries mate. Got a mate over in Ireland who knows a few people. I just report what he is telling me.

[Can't Catch Me]

Bollocks. This would be a hammer blow for me (pardon the pun!)

During an interview with Patrick Mullins, it was confirmed that Blackbow had won "the" schooling race. No idea if Hollowgraphic was in it....

The first question was "you get the ususal question about 3 weeks from now about what you'll ride in March, I think that might be no/1 on the shortlist wouldn't it? That was great"

PM - "He was very good you know, he settled much better than he did at Christmas and also when I pressed the button this time he went whereas at Christmas he knew what to do. Hollowgraphic figures there as well, you know he won very well in Punchestown but this fella is very exciting.


I'd take that as an almighty positive for Hollowgraphic, absolutely no reason to mention him without really being prompted?

Not sure if you saw, but willie was pressed by Gina Harding before the race asking about his 2 runners and she asked it must be a tough call for Patrick between the 2 on saturday.
Willie answered very confidently not really and about how he quickly chose blackbow.
