Out of the Festival - Please read post #1 before posting

[Rhinestone_Cowboy]

Rules for this thread


1. Please post the name of the horse injured/missing the festival (as a matter of what is presented as fact)

2. Post the source (ideally with a link) to where this information is from

3. Do not comment about how it affects you directly in this thread, please go to the relevant ante-post thread.


The reason for this, is that we want a noticable, timely and accurate thread with facts so that we can react quickly to potential news.




Thanks for your co-operation

Can't recall if we did this before but with so many of us taking advantage of the Bet365 cash out offer, is it worth having an 'Out of the Festival' sticky(?) thread at the top where people can post as soon as they hear something like Archie did about Draconian the other day? Doesn't sound like 365 are particularly quick to react at present but would be good to have one place where we can check in quickly on a regular basis. Thoughts?

Good idea, im unsure where to post when I found out one is injured.

Made. Good idea.

Would be good to keep thoughts / talk of any update etc to a bare minimum in here too. Means it's easy to quickly see rather than potentially having to go back through a few pages if you haven't checked for a while

Or any unnecessary comments, like this and jono's

Sadly it’s been quite a frustrating week or so for Mike Grech and Stuart Parkin who own Claimantakingforgan and I’m afraid he will have to take a sabbatical after suffering a leg problem at Cheltenham last time so is out for the rest season. It is terribly frustrating as we had extremely high hopes for him but he’ll have a long rest to give the injury time to recover and hopefully he’ll be back in time for next season.

Gutted one of my bigger bets. And cash out gone Plenty more to come.

I think that is the difference between having a little write up in the RP (Draconien) & an owner being so open on social media though.

Very much highlights the danger I was talking about a well or so ago though. Unfortunately.

Shame for this horse, I saw he was 16s about 3 hours ago and only noticed because the cashout was higher than the stake (not that I'd have taken it)

Anyone have a chance with cash out? 365 on the ball this time.

Apparently it was first announced on Henderson's bookie blog. Bookies one step ahead this time.

Has anyone heard rumours that Malone Road is out? My mate has had a text to say he is out but I have not seen anything confirmed anywhere. Be such a shame if he is out. I am hovering over the cashout button but want to see confirmation.

Nothing happening on exchange, I'd imagine they'd know.

That is good news then, managed to find one other rumour on twitter saying its doing the rounds at Newmarket then one fella said hes heard something in Ireland as well. But like all these things its the same rumour growing arms and legs. I will keep my beedy eyes posted and report if I hear anything back.
