    Was just about to type this.
    Exactly what I'd imagine.
    Although you never know.

    It's actually an interesting one for the Skybet specials team.
    What price that Melon finishes second in a race at the festival ??

    I'd be happy with 33's.

    • I think we'd be lucky to get bigger than 20/1 now for Melon in the Ryanair. His festival record is just too good and he's a bit too high profile to get properly pushed out?

      I suppose a defeat and out to 25/1 isn't ridiculous, another defeat someone may go 33/1? Wishful thinking - and on the back of 2 defeats you'd be banking on the Festival factor..... but I would at 33/1.


      I would also take 33/1 for him to come 2nd in any race but have no idea if that's a good bet - I imagine not

        I think you may be right with Melon, although he's only 20-1 now so a defeat or two and like you said he should realistically be pushed out a bit.

        The 33-1 for him to finish second is definitely not a good bet.
        But probably better than the 66-1 football bet I noticed you had. I'd want that price for a month's football, not the whole season.

          Haha, well if it's still live after a month I'll consider myself on to a winner.

          1 point down for the season on football and I'm getting lynched

            • Im not going to play this race like i did this year..i was pig headed about APT winning and didnt touch anything else..ive backed APT again as my main fancy though! i truly beleive this is his perfect race he didnt even do his best work, jumped the last a bit divvy and still within 2 lengths..but im also backing Min this time..that melling chase run tells me that on his day no one gets near him but its probably a rare occurence now at 10 years old
              But thatll do for me in this one not going to go mad

                  • My biggest ante post bet runs here and if he jumps out , gets in rhythm and makes the running he wont get caught. Ran in wrong race imo at festival and id be surprised if they went Gold Cup.

                    Horse is Allaho

                      Completely agree. Think Allaho could do a Vautour.....one of the best jumping performances I've ever see at Cheltenham.

                        Allaho will do well to get within half a stone of Vautour.


                        I've backed Allaho for the Ryanair and still think this is bollocks.


                        176 for Vautour, Min only 170, Frodon 168 isn't he?

                        Allaho won't get to 175+ under any circumstances.




                        Vautour is an actual top class horse. The top, of Grade 1 class, Allaho isn't and never will be, even if he wins a Ryanair.

                          I'm sorry, mentioning allaho in the same breath as vautour is sacrilege. I thought allaho was overrated before but you just took it to a whole new level

                          • When I say he could do a Vautour I meant Allaho could lead from outset and jump from fence to fence and break the opposition's hearts. I didn't say he was at the same level as Vautour just that he could win in a similar manner. You lot are so menstral. Lol !

                              You should have said he could do an Uxizandre then

                                Yes, I think you are right. That would still be good enough I think. I do like Allaho a lot and do think he should end up here. That said I did think he should have ran in last seasons Marsh but got that horribly wrong as did Mullins and co did running him in the RSA.
