      I’ve just worked out I’m at 17% with Non Runners and failed Roll ups.

      Doesnt feel like I’ve been hit too hard and happy enough to stay on that sort of rate.

      Last year ended up at 30%, however more than 10% of that was Trump roll ups…Bob at 20s, Monkfish at 8s and 10s, Shishkin at 5 and more, the heart bleeds for what should have been

      • The Irish government sure must love their racing. Ireland already has 17 March as a public holiday, Stayers Hurdle day. Now we have the Gold Cup day as well, this year.

          • I have a question for any of you that live in Ireland.
            I think this has been asked before but

            Am I right to assume that they take the NHS Covid pass to gain entrance over there ?
            And if it's via my Iphone, do I still need to carry a Photo ID with me ?
            As I'm not keen on carrying my passport about all day.
            And my phone is facial recognition anyhow.

              But now bizarrely I cant find it when I went on to PP in my open bets?

              Anyone seen or heard of this before?
              Found my bet but it's quoted in the wrong race! Wtf! It's not even quoted in their betting for that race! The price is also shaved a few more points! Worth contacting customer services?

              • The rules in Ireland at the minute are that you need proof of vaccination or proof of recovery to enter the country and then hotels, pubs and restaurants as well.
                But you need to have photo identification to show that the proof of vaccination or recovery belongs to you.

                You can use the following as identification:
                Driving licence
                Passport
                Student card
                Garda age card
                Irish Residence Permit (IRP)
                National identity card
                Any other official document that includes your photo and was issued outside of Ireland

                I can't remember ever being asked for proof of ID when I presented my covid pass but this all depends on the premises you are entering I guess

                Hope that helps and I can be corrected by others on here as well if I am wrong on the above as these rules are continuously changing

                  NHS pass accepted. Anytime I have been asked for ID I show them my drivers license or a bank card with my name on it and it has not been a problem. Its only a handful of well respected pubs/restaurants however where i have been asked to prove my ID so it shouldn't be much of an issue Q.

                    Unless they change things regards covid passes by end of month I guess I'll have to carry me passport around.
                    Would have been more worried if I was still on the drink.

                      Looking forward to it now.
                      Been to Punchestown before but not the Dublin festival.
                      Stopping at the Gresham on O'Connell if anyone fancies a pint ?
                      Reckon I'll be in the Confession Box most days before racing, and on the premium floor or whatever they call it at Leopardstown for the races.
                      Fully masked up for the tram.

                        Make sure you check out lapellos in the evening while you’re there, just hope it’s been a good day gambling

                          Sounds lovely.
                          With the wife though.
                          So probably go for a nice meal instead

                            Probably a wise move in that case

                              Not sure anyone cares, but... contacted customer services and they say As it is an ante-post market we are unable to void the bet and the bet remains! Absolute joke! Teaches me for trying to be top clever I suppose! But not going to lie bit pissed off they couldn't even void the bet for me! Got a ?10 free bet but sure that doesn't cover the stake! Raging ha!
