Cheltenham Gold Cup 2020

[Muswell]

To be fair Declan Meagher who did the betting special I have been following for years (not as a subscriber but on twitter etc) and he is excellent have done some of his festival / festive services and he has put up some superb bets (Roaring Bull at 33/1 this Christmas for example)

[The King Pimm]

Not a lot to add to that, I just agree.

Yes it was Andy Holding, I did see a promo video he did once explaining his premium service and speed figures - it involved loads of doing it yourself still and interpretting his data.

I bet FFP have given a load of new subscribers to that fella that was on over Christmas too for the betting special.

---------------------------------------------------------------

I'm still pretty much on the fence in this race. Have been since before the RSA last year and I'm not sure I'll end up getting off the fence

I feel the same, like last year most the horses I fancied early doors are prepping average if not worse and no horse is breaking through to the top of the betting with swagger. I can’t see past ABP but not because he’s a superstar but the rest either struggle at Cheltenham, have been struggling with burn out or injury or not good enough but too high in the ratings to go anywhere else

Yeah he came across well on it, was just making a general point about the popularity of the show.



I wonder if it'll dip without Kevin Blake... I think it'll turn a lot of long term listeners off but it's so popular now it'll probably still grow, at the same rate the hosts heads does

Agree completely- they are the current fascination for many + are probably overused now in terms of an angle!

I don't particularly use them either, just like reading his articles. Need to get a copy of last week's Irish Field as he had quite a lot in it from over xmas.
Andy Holding is probably who you mean! He isn't bad either. Personally never warmed to the Stopwatch Hoffman fella. Comes across a twat, and i think he jumped on the sectional bandwagon at the right time, if i remember correctly, he came to prominence from a mention on the FFP which just shows you, given how sh1t it is these days lol.

On ABP though, i suppose at least it shows his win was a decent performance on the clock, since quite a few GCs don't actually return to anywhere near themselves afterwards.

Did you lads see his blog the other day he put up on twitter (Stopwatch - Will Hoffmann)? Basically said all along he’s been a losing punter and is a gambling addict. Was a very tough read.

[Muswell]

Yeah good point I am a fan of Kevin Blake reasoned analysis same with Rory Delargy who I will always listen to it on

I did yeah. Tough read and it's never nice to see people get themselves into difficulty. Haven't warmed to him on twitter at all though previously, and considering he only stopped taking subscribers during the Autumn i'd say he's taken advantage of people to fund his habit.

Think it was a staking plan issue, betting 5%-10% of his bank roll that is never going to end well. I found some of his stuff interesting/useful, hope he gets sorted but its pretty shit deal for his customers.

Kev - I've just noticed your avatar and the 50/1 to win, should it not be 100/1 after the Saint Calvados pick ?
Unless you had a 50/1 that copped I have forgotten...

Haha, it was a cake that my Mum got made for me, with random 'bet slips'... before Saint Calvados' time..... before that it would have been Rawnaq for the Stayers Hurdle at 100/1 - absolutely robbed, as he had Nichols Canyon covered no trouble on their US form


Labaik won at 50/1 for me, but that was not my only horse in that race or a decent winner really


So we'll chalk it down as, Tiger Roll 50/1 for the Grand National - and I know I wasn't alone there I have people that I worked with that 'followed' that ante post tip and they always bang on about it. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside

A big run from Chris's Dream in the Irish Gold Cup and he has an EW chance here at 33s. Surely only comes here if he runs a big race and if he does run a big race, he'll surely be cut. 160p at the moment so it just depends what he is capable of (Al Boum and Anibal Fly were rated 164 last year). Lots of surelys and maybe's, but the cash out makes it more appealing.

Don't know where i got this from, but didn't Henry say he is best fresh? Surely a run at the DRF ruins the fresh angle for the GC
