Yeah, he means 5/1 Goshen is laughable compared to ABP

Kev, you write a lot of good stuff on here and your knowledge is obviously sound, but with regards Al Boum Photo (and I have not a single ante post penny on him) - why would you suggest the 6/1 is ‘laughable’.

A horse that’s won the last 2 gold cups is one thing to keep the price short, but the fact 46 weeks beforehand we know that a) his target is confirmed and b) 95% sure that he’ll run only 1 race in the build up at Tramore (reasonably uncompetitive) 10 weeks in advance of the Gold Cup....all of these aforementioned ‘criteria’ would suggest 6/1 is actually,at the very worst, a sound price? Even if you take a ‘fudge factor’ of him making it to the festival, his 6/1 now is the biggest price you’ll get in those 46 ante post weeks? He’ll only be grazing over the next 7 months before his New Year’s Day return and then he would have been nibbled into 9/2 kind of price as all favourites who sit idle tend to do??

Fair play for questioning it

...but as some have pointed out, I think you took it the opposite way.

I meant 'Pick Al Boum Photo' because 6/1 is an alright price compared to the likes of Goshen who is a shorter price but doesn't have as good a chance.

No reason to mention Goshen really other than his price being similar but shorter.
