    Yes but the fact that every other bookie shortened up within the space of 1 1/2 hours suggests it's a little more than punters just grabbing value.

        And for the Supreme too, just Sky from what I've seen though.

            I got some of the 50's and reading it's been smashed in is as big a buzz as a winner !

              It’s the hope that kills ya !
              Absolutely, great feeling to have a voucher you are ahead of the market…

                Looks like a real 'value' bet to me

                  Nothing wrong with that. I've been betting AP on the fez for 40 years and still get the same feeling. Of course they may never even make the racecourse again but boy does it feel good getting a lovely AP price and being several steps ahead of the market. F**k the bookies.

                  • The price cut on I Am Maximus is a bit extreme but something to be expected from Bookies who massively over react in the antepost markets for the Festival.
                    I was impressed with I Am Maximus’s bumper, he worked hard for the win but on the ground that day at Cheltenham he displayed all the attributes a novice horse needs to win a race like the supreme. He progressed up the hill nicely even if he had been off the bridle a while back. He’s a young horse and appeared headstrong that day but a year older under the guidance of the one of the best trainers ever will hopefully set him up well for a progressive season over hurdles.
                    I’ve backed him at 50’s for both Supreme & Ballymore but will top up on both when I see an entry just in case he’s better than what many of us think.

                    • It will have taken a tiny amount of money to cut a price from 50/1 to 20/1. A dozen tenners each way in 24 hours plus the Ferguson mention would probably do the trick. Last time I looked, there had only been about ?8k matched on Betfair Exchange for the entire Supreme field.

                      That said, 50/1 is still a good price and a good spot. 20/1 less so.

                          I think they were standout 25s yesterday so probably a correction to avoid further interest…

                            Bloody big correction to halve in price. Good money with Betfair as well this morning.

                            • I Am Maximus still 25/1 with Ladbrokes (28/1 boosted) for those who wanted to get involved but missed out on the bigger prices.

                              Obvious additional risk being the lack of cash out with them on ante post bets though.

                              • See what the decs are tomorrow but Gordon could unleash Chemical Energy, Glenglass and Gringo D'aubrelle on saturday in maiden hurdles. The last two bought bay the Morans for 155k and 270k respectively

                                Glenglass also in a bumper on sunday
