Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2020

[Morley Street]

TBF there aren’t many that would back him at the current price. We could all pick better chances of winning on even money chances on any day of the week than EA in the Ballymore.

Not backing on value grounds is one thing Saxon, but would take a brave man to lay it IMO.

Tom Segal ‘I couldn’t have a bigger lay than Envoi Allen’

He’s like the Dianne Abbot of the racing world ffs

Someone should ask when he’s putting this up on this Exchanges and at what price!

He’s just become a bitter, contrary “shock jock” type tipster. He freely admits to not even watching a lot of races anymore. And last year he admitted he’d forgotten which days were on which course in March, but that “it didn’t matter”.

Hipsters like that do my nut, just be honest with yourself, envoi allen is a likely winner..there are plenty with chances though and on the day the "bet without" market will be a good shout

I don’t think Seagul is a big punter.
I used to know someone very senior at the bible and they told me he played for small stakes only, same Kevin Pullein (football)

Only the profitable are restricted so I imagine he can bet what he wants. Probably pays the bills by backing, tipping then laying off once everyone piles in having read the RP.

This is gordons comments today, i thought he commited fully EA to ballymore, has he back tracked a tad here?

I think if I was having a drink in the pub with my mate, and he wanted a match bet on Envoi Allen and I could have the rest of the field (as an even money/heads&tails type of bet) I would definitely have that bet with him. Not big stakes of course, a fun bet for a pint or two.

He also said he wouldn't back something at 100/1 (I've actually forgotten the horse) but he's under the guise of 'Pricewise' .... whichever horse it was, is a fantastic bet at 100/1.

I turned it off. He was actually annoying me and life is too short to get annoyed listening to something I actually like


What was the horse?

Not a bit. Always been the plan to come here since day one and nothing will change that

[Kevloaf]

One of Elliott’s stars who did not run at the weekend was Envoi Allen, and the trainer suggested the Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle will be his destination next month.


“We toyed with running him but he’s had three runs, won two Grade Ones and we had nothing to gain and everything to lose so he’ll go straight there (Cheltenham),” said Elliott.


“Nearly every second race at Leopardstown his form tied in, so it’s rock solid.


“If I had to say right now which race, I’d have the Ballymore in my head unless the ground is very soft.


“A lot of people are talking about the Champion Hurdle, but I’m a big believer in keeping them in the races I think they can win and at the moment I think that’s the Ballymore.”

You can believe whatever you like.... from whatever Gordon says.





The bookie that sponser him at 25/1 though which is standout by an absolute mile.


I wouldn't back it, I'd just be paying towards someones expenses or Christmas party etc....

Eh? Of course they’d consider the Supreme if the ground was heavy

[The Don]

They didn’t last year with Samcro.... won’t happen, just give up and stop with the boring debate where he will go

[Quevega]

It's almost like Gordon is trolling the forum .
Has ET possessed him ?

[Pendil]

Don't you have to back EA @ 6/1 NRNB with Sky for the CH as cover if nothing else compared to 7/2 for Honeysuckle

[Milbear0]

Hi all.
I think you do Pendil, although it’s highly unlikely he goes for it - if he wins the Bally there will be inevitable questions about contesting the CH next year. If the horse is an intended chaser why not go straight to the race this year, then move on with a chasing career if unsuccessful.
It must be on their minds. Fair NRNB price.
