Fat Jockey Day Two Yankee - Captain: Hardy Eustace

[Stormez]

Us and Them 25-1 - GA
Cracking Smart 50-1 - Coral

Just backed both of these, and should they look like being declared there respective prices may hold (to a point).
Others have mentioned these and made a case already.

It's not often you can get prices like this on horses who placed in the same race the year previous.
In races where returning placed horses have decent records.
Where the horses look to have been campaigned with the race in mind.
And were the year before also.
And will now be better off at the weights themselves, but also with their nearest rivals who are also returning.

Cracking smart is 3lbs lower than last year, but once he’s been given his Irish tax he’ll probably end up being higher than last year?

Definitely one to consider though for all the reason you mention.

Smart was tax free last year. Be harsh if he got anything this. He’s shit.
think us and them got 1lb

Food for thought in the "RSA" Brown Novice Chase...


Since 2000, 31 horses have lined up that were unbeaten.... 10 were favourites.

How many of the 31 unbeaten horses won the race?


Just 2.






I know, I know, soon to be 3.....

[Faugheen_Machine]

Denman and Don Poli?

[Istabraq]

Denman and Don Poli?

Probably right there.
Bobs Worth and Florida Pearl possibles ?

[Kevloaf]

Denman and Don Poli?

Correct.

Some list of beaten horses though too!




FWIW, the stat doesn't put me off at all, but it's a fun one.

[Muswell]

Denman beaten by Nicanor over hurdles

It'll be unbeaten over fences surely?

I assumed so anyway.... otherwise 31 is way too many to have lined up in an RSA?

Has to be.

Not sure there'll have been many unbeaten horses to have lined up in this race. Struggling to think of any since 2000.

Florida Pearl is only one that springs to mind

It's horses that turned up for the RSA unbeaten that season (assuming mostly over fences)
Crazy stat though!

You'd be one of them wouldn't you funnily enough Time For Rupert

Absolutely.......massive flop!
7/4 fav and ran like I was towing a trailer

[Hardy Eustace]

No CoF in the Coral cup so will need to rethink the Yankee.

Given there is likely to be a lot of shorties on the day I reckon the best way to go is a banker win only yankee.

Easysland and Monkfish are musts.

Any suggestions for the other 2?

This one will bump it up at bit......

BUN DORAN scratched from the Champion Chase where he was third last year and this is his only remaining entry.

Second in this in 2019 off 2lbs lower than current mark (150).

Now rated 10lbs lower than a year ago.

Still 33-1 with WH and 25-1 with 365.

Great chance of springing a surprise in my book.

This race has a history of shock winners in the last decade: 66-1, 28-1,16-1, 16-1, 20-1, 40-1.
