2022 Mares Novices Hurdle

[Maxfield]

…if the inevitable happens with Allegorie, I wonder if Mullins will aim Statuaire at this (also a County Hurdle entry). 20-1 NRNB with 365 is a standout.

Statuaire came 6th (behind Sir G) at DRF in the same race GDC finished 6th in last year before going on to win at the Festival.

I thought the same, but she seems to be drifting as well for some reason! I've started hitting Elle Est Belle instead, as the more and more I look at this race she's started to become the standout horse for me.

There's a bit on betfair to lay at 14.0 if anyone wants it.....

[Istabraq]

personally i'd never cash out even if I could and whatever will be will be, i'd rather lose my stake than lose my bet on a 33/1 shot who does end up running and going off fave and win

I love this attitude RR...

[Might_Bite]

Statuaire also weak on the exchanges, not sure if its got weight

It's sort of stabilised on BEX - 10s to back 14's to lay. Stay of execution? Traders dicking around? Or storm in a tea cup?

I'm a donkey on the edge at the moment and will be for the next few weeks....

Its the only way to approach it imo. The feeling of her running and winning after you'd cashed out your 33/1 slip would be x100 times worse than losing your stake.

Now if i'd backed her at 8/1 then i'd cash and re back at 3s or 4s if I found out the rumours were false, but the gap from 33/1 to 3/1 is way too big to be cashing out down to these rumours.

Totally with you on this. I'd lose sleep if that happened and lost the potential winnings.

Gotta be some market manipulation going on here... It's all over the place. Back into 6.4 now?!

[Exar Essay]

There’s 150 waiting at 9.8 …

[Dandrew99]

Now Brandy Love is on the drift?!

Who needs Netflix when you can watch a betting exchange?

[FinalFurlong91]

Could easily be someone playing silly buggers

Very little liquidity in that market

[Imperial Commander]

Agreed on the betfair part of things. But there was also loads of blue on Oddschecker for the next 4 or 5 in the market so either a number of different bookmakers had taken lots of bets on other horses or a number of them got a message from somewhere and cut various prices - and obviously that part is more more difficult to manipulate. Still not sure what to conclude from that - the sort of patterns consistent with finding out from Willie that she's had a little knock and we're not sure how severe it is yet.....

[knockando]

Can't verify this, but have had a text from a mate who's heard that Allegorie has a small injury, which I quote 'might clear up in time'.

[FinalFurlong91]

If allegorie is injured and elle est belle goes to Aintree all iv got left is brandy love and she looks less than reliable


not ideal
