  • This probably falls on deaf ears given what I'm about to say but would be great if certain folk could spend a few minutes reading previous posts on a thread before throwing comments in that have been made / discussed at reasonable length in preceding days. More than likely an irrational irk but it would be more beneficial than expecting the same posts to be made in response for a second time

      I second this and know exactly what you mean! It's a real pet peeve off mine and have noticed it alot recently, and unfortunately I think it won't be the last!

      I would love to blame it on the "what race" Joe bloggs goes to but its not even that! What is cracking me up I noticed recently the same thing was said a few posts up, not even pages ago which I will give the benefit off the doubt! Bit same page, just look up! Haha

      However, as we approach 3 weeks to go, traffic will be wild and guys won't have the time to read every single post, so I cave and give in! Expect the repetitiveness mate and move on ha!

      • This will inevitably curse it, but at the moment all Honeysuckle, PTKO, Allaho, Flooring Porter and Minella Indo are all on course to actually defend their titles.

        That can't have been the case many years at all....

          • Anyone else feeling like that market has contracted today? A lot shortening for no real reason.

            • Has anyone seen any top UK trainer markets ?

                80/1 in the outright, with Hendo 10s, Nicholls in between.... so if the market does exist, you may have a bet!

                  Yeah, so in a UK only market Hendo would be what, 2s on ? Nicholls 7/2 ? So I could be getting Skelton at around 6/1 ?
                  That would be of serious interest…

                    For this to land would you not expect Skelton to need at least 2 winners (maybe more) in against Henderson? If that’s the case would you not be wiser getting on each horse he runs ew based on likely odds? Just thinking out loud really. I’m hoping some do the UK only markets on each race at final decs like they have in previous years….defo some value in them like in the w/o markets

                        Yes, makes sense.
                        I’ve backed a few of his already but there are some I just can’t have, it’s not possible to cover all of his but the beauty of a bet like this is that when you get it completely wrong (say a Protektorat wins the Gold Cup) you are compensated…
