The Mares races

Or you could take the 20's for the Mares Chase and have her on board at big prices for both races with the option of cash out. Same for GOL. You can then react a bit nearer the time. I'd be very surprised if both weren't entered for both races anyway just in case anything happens or the ground goes against them or one or the other race looks very much stronger. There are so many things that can change as we see every year. Absolutely nothing is written in stone and it's best not to be caught out. They could quite easily end up in the same race.

….Magic Daze still 16-1 a/r and only 12-1 with Sky to win Mares Chase.

How this can happen is beyond me. Mental.

….Magic Daze 20-1 Mares Chase holding with 365 (cash-out); Hills & Lad (boost available). Doesn’t appear any change in her price for the Arkle.

I agree it can confuse matters, but I can't figure out what would have changed to cause it. GOL puts up a career best over 2m4f and trainer says she's likely to stay at that distance, connections have previously said she's likely to stay over that distance and that magic will hopefully be the arkle horse.

I understand it's an enormous drop, but if it's not across the board, it could just be a pre-emptive reaction to the fact she's actually gonna run tomorrow and that she's getting smashed for it? As a consequence, I'm just ignoring it and sticking with my position on her as an arkle horse for better or for worse!

I am doing the same.

Unfortunately (even with cashout), this is a staking issue for me. I do have the reverse double (magic mares, gin arkle), but that is all I have. For anyone taking a book approach or who has the moolah to go down the cashout route, I agree your play is the logical one

In all honesty , even I have posted too much regarding these 2 . On paper both have it all to do to get anywhere near the current market leaders should they turn up. They both potentially have Ew chances but we are most probably asking too much for them to win either race. Nice ones at the prices to have in the book should the top horses miss out though.
