        Is he entered?

        Just checked...he is.

          Was literally cooking my dinner when news came through and I turned off the oven mid cook as I just suddenly lost my appetite. The biggest sickener of my antepost betting career. Thankgod the Mrs is on late shift

            My wife asked me why I'd gone all moody. I explained to her that I've lost bets on Ferny Hollow for the second year running when she said "third time lucky"?

            I'm not sure if she was tipping Skeltons horse or telling me to persist with Ferny Hollow next year

              Makes you question whey you do it when this happens. With KD today too, AI and Monkfish earlier in the season, then to a lesser extent SWIW ... does make you wonder whether your better off taking the lower prices but safety net of NRNB ...

              • Can you still enter a horse for this after initials entries? As I seem to remember cilaos emery being entered quite late on after injuries to other horses?

                  I literally posted the other day that Ferny would make or break my fez… it didn’t take me long to find out. Had him at 20/1 and 25/1 in doubles and trebles with Bob, Honey and Shiskin…. Roll on 2023

                  • God I hope we can smash the shit out of the bookies on all the other races.

                    Not sure about you lot but I'm not that bothered about losing my stakes, it's the potential winnings/odds I'm more annoyed about.

                      It's an omen. There's your winner. Grasp the gift from the Mrs. Cmon TTL !!

                        Yes. You'll be paying a supplementary fee though.

                          not a chance IMO, all part of the game Antepost betting and its inevitable you're going to hit a couple of injuries along the way. The upsides to this is having the ability to have plenty of 20, 25s and 33/1 shots in your book which are now in with a favourites chance.

                          If it's hit you that hard then I'd say you've just been a little unlucky. Last year the majority of us feel we got away with it with so few injuries or mishaps happening.

                          Wait until the tapes go up, then it'll be all worth it!

                            Of course you are right (there's also the fun of it), but I'm sulking right now. It is a bad year for me though (certainly compared to last) as a number of my fancier ones are ruled out and my strategy is reliant on doubles and trebles.

                              Interesting one as I think before today they were planning grand annual 3rd chase today won pretty comfortably, first run against ferny hollow this season was very good, 16/1 NRNB , going to take a look myself, start the race fresh. Had ferny in a few multiples not many, think Coeur sublime could be a good play NRNB

                              • FFS! Sat on 4 slips with 33s on Ferny. Gutted.
                                "All part of the fun" isn't quite cutting it yet
                                A few putting up Riviere d'Etel but she could still head down the Mares Chase route yet....might be worth waiting to hear plans?
                                Haut en Couleurs and Saint Sam coming here now along with Blue Lord? Reckon one of the first two will go elsewhere.
