It really is a sad state of affairs with these odds we're being given, it's like they don't want any antepost bets.Originally posted by Istabraq View PostComment

I must have missed the law change that made it mandatory to have a bet 11 months in advance.Comment

Oddly enough, I can't find the words 'ante post' or 'betting' in the headings. What it actually says is,Originally posted by Kautostar View Post

The horse racing community would be a dull place if nobody discussed their bets, odds and fancies for said races.Originally posted by archie View PostComment

Absolutely, but if you think a horse should be 10/1 and you back it at 7/1 because it's the best price available, it's illogical to complain about the bookies.Originally posted by Kautostar View PostComment

I used to think that by having ante post bets, and especially mug bets and/or worse value that is available, would help keep an account active, suffice to say that theory is as dead as a dodo...Originally posted by archie View PostComment

I think the bookies poor prices are a legitimate subject to talk about on a forum.Originally posted by archie View PostComment

I agree with that but not in terms of it being a disgrace that brings the industry into disrepute. Paddy Power runs a business not a benevolent society and the word 'poor' is subjective here.Originally posted by Ice View Post
The point is that, if you like the price you take it and give it a puff on here. If you don't like the price, you can say why but there's no legitimate complaint against the bookies. I appreciate that many people make their own book and will sometimes take a price to balance the book even if they think it should be longer. I don't bet like that. In fact I hardly bet at all which is why my fudge factor for determining value is quite punitive.
Each to their own.Comment

Think the 10's on Kettle will be all gone after she wins easily today. Most underrated horse out there !Comment

I can't believe she isn't favourite today, she's still massively underrated. Altior is up against it over two miles and she has the beating of the rest, imo.Originally posted by Lobos View Post
I think I'll put her in a couple more multiples.

Pretty sure kettle gets beat today
shes not a rhythm horse
if they go too slow like in the champion then at least one of the two favs will beat her
if they go a strong gallop - altior winsLast edited by Quevega; 24 April 2021, 11:58 AM.Comment

If I had a worry with her it'd be about galloping tracks, she was beaten soundly at Leopardstown with no excuses. May well be that Cheltenham just suits her perfectly. Still put her in a roll up mind
There's more to like about her than the others. Desperately want to see something big from Altior but suspect today will just be a step closer to retirement for him. The Dessie chase at Kempton was won by Nube Negra in very decent time though so there may be a valid excuse there on reappearance. Should probably just sit back and enjoy it with no interest but it's not as easy as that is it?!
