Crowdfunder - Fat Jockey Forum upgrade

Hello Fat Jockeys,

Upgrading the Fat Jockey forum!: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/fatjockeyforum

We're looking to upgrade the 'hosting CPU' so I've set up a crowdfunding project.

    HDB on Eklat De Rire 'The plan with him is the second-season chaser race at Wexford later this month that Minella Indo won last season. He has a step up to make to get in amongst the best staying chasers, but he has more improvement in him, and I’d be hopeful that he can take a strong step forward'.

    I've used another free bet @ 66/1. Lets hope HDB is right

        Yep. So unexposed already 152 and expecting a big step forward surely you'd be hopeful he's a proper lurker. Doesn't always work that way though as we know lol.

          I'm really excited about EDR. I genuinely thought he'd serve it up to Monkfish and the manner of the RSA win was frustrating because he may just well have, but we'll never know. He's very unexposed for a 152 rated novice chaser and if he steps forward I think he could be a GC player, but long way to go and he needs to do his talking on track.

            You’d have to like Escaria Ten as well no ?
            Where that one heads I have no idea, mark probably makes handicaps out of the question but whether he can take the leap to G1 open company is another thing and you would have to forgive him a poor effort after his close NH Chase third…

              Had some incredibly smart form as a nvice, but loathe to pull the trigger just yet

                Not heard anything, but given his appreciation of a soft surface i'd be loathed to fancy him for anything in the Spring

                  You'd have to even just a little? Can't decide on them in the NHC though, and i wanna see them before backing.

                    Well then... looked a little rusty, gave away weight, still went for it and won.

                      I had in my head that a win would mean I'd back him for the GC and a loss the GN.

                      Not sure if it was enough to make me push the button. 8lbs to Annamix isnt enough to make me excited - race fit or not

                        Looks like he might not be going down the cross country route, time for an antepost position re-think on my side!

                          My thoughts exactly, good performance and had me put the stake in but didnt press the button, 33s will probably hold for now so plenty time to have a good think about it.

                            Not sure what the purpose of that was for Galvin, he scraped home in a 5 runner G3 for about 15 grand which won't be anywhere near good enough for a Gold Cup tilt and probably puts his mark up a few pound blowing a National bid.
                            I'd love to hear the thinking here...

                                Dropped to 20s for the National too. Bit of a noob here but from what I have read he's unlikely to go for that now because of the weight he will be on?
                                Wondering whether to cash out my GN bet.
