  • Absolutely. How much money have people connected to the stable made out of punters this season I wonder.
    Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.

        The introduction of exchanges was always going to create this sadly.
        Could be worse, one day a trainer might say his horse is injured and will miss the festival then make a
        miracle recovery and gag up in a championship race

          Not quite the same level but didn't Bailey say Vindication was injured a couple of years ago only for him to rock up in the JLT? Could be misremembering. Just remember I was glad he didn't win

              Didn’t it happen to a Derby winner about the same time ?

                      Haha, aren’t we all.
                      The biggest exchange coup on Binocular was actually the following year when he was given prescribed medication that meant he couldn’t defend his crown, I watched his price on the Sunday morning people laying him at 8,9,10+ when he was 3/1 fav, Hendos yard would have done OK out of that.
                      Anyway we digress, I doubt FA will ‘do a Binocular’...

                        You need a diary for that ....

                        I don't see how it's linked to him being ruled out today, other than hooray for you and it being unrelated luck?



                        I'm glad you did too.... kind of? ....

                            Not clogging up threads with personal bets, positions and/or aftertiming that doesn't add anything in particular

                              I was one of those that laid the 1000 on Binocular. Pleased to have had my moment of fame. Not.

                              • Is that some sort of reverse aftertiming?!
