  • I am so done with the bumper.

    Something I already know I'll be taking out of my antepost betting this year is stay the hell away from the bumper!

    I'm very cross with myself I have Power of Pause at lofty prices with no bloody cash out and I really don't see him coming over now.

    Ferny Hollow is still a possibility I guess but I'm not hopeful.

    Risk Factor still a maybe but won't be beating Appreciate It.

    Panic Attack I was very taken by and have 56/1 from Hills with the boost. So that's ok. But I do have my reservations of her turning up at all.

    Should've listened to Kev's early thoughts and abandoned looking at this race from the start

          Every bloody year I say “ DONT BET THE BUMPER”

          Problem is it’s in my blood , the old get out of jail race when you’ve had a bad day on course and the jolly bolts up at evens if you’re lucky
          Old habits die hard

          Gem you are not alone

            I'll be there on the Wednesday so I'm praying I'm not relying on it come the end of the day!

            But what you say is completely right. And I already know full well that this time next year I'm going to be in exactly the same position

                  Far too many times I said to myself I should back Appreciate It. But didn't as I already had too many bumper horses backed

                  • Re Ballyadam.

                    He does times for irish ptps too. Interesting how far ahead Envoi + Asterion were.

                      Asterion well clear of EA too!

                      I don't know him or his work, so will obviously take with a pinch of salt, however it is still interesting.

                        Oh yeah for sure, not even sure a point times are easy to compare at all. I bet there's distance issues etc, as Ireland can't even get their proper racecourses correct!

                        • Ballyadam will be making the sea of blue thread today! Incredible that he's now 12-16/1 without running.

                              If you've followed my ante post diary you'll have seen I've struggled to follow my own advice too

                              These are the five horses to avoid, as they're all profitable for me:

                              Appreciate It,
                              Power Of Pause,
                              Ballyadam,
                              Energumene,
                              Ferny Hollow.

                              If Eric Bloodaxe runs I'm in a world of pain unless he places

                                It was unlikely that Eric Bloodaxe would of showed up here
                                The face that he finished lame on Saturday surely means there is absolutely no chance
