I thought Mighty Potter and Mount Ida were the only real disappointments with the rest of the non-handicappers running to about their normal levels. Run Wild Fred has found one too good in his recent races bar the Troytown. Delta and Tiger were fine, and Zanahiyr ran well too.

The Morans/Bective Stud are throwing more money at it already by the looks of it but they're still waiting on a Cheltenham winner, whoever's advising them has some job

Seen it said that they've put 30m into game already. Insane levels of spending and one Grade 1 to their name.

30m!?!?! Didn't think it was anywhere near that, do they buy every horse themselves without bloodstock agents on the side advising them as that is a lot of money

[Altior]

They started an entire breeding operation. Haven't they bought Apples Jade or Benie or shared ownership anyway of some big mare? They're in it for the long haul, I guess we'll have to see if that's the case for buying expensive horses too.

Colosaal amount, but they've bought and developed a stud, have 40 in training and have spent huge money on broodmares. Not difficult to see such expenditure.

Yes, long term investment by the Moran's and now the breeding operation set up. Good luck to them and I guess they will become something like Gordon's premier owners replacing the diminishing Gigginstown over time.

If it is as much as 30m, not sure. Believe they sold off their interest in the credit card set up for circa 165m, so perhaps 30m isn't that much for them.

Could that also be because they want to be able to identify and track shop punters ?
Being cynical I know but it’s unlikely they’ll go out of their way to do anything that benefits punters…

Itll be designed to get in shop customers betting online

That's what all the bookies want

For people like me who already have an online account and don't stake big it's a no brainer really, I have no idea how long the promo will be on though

…..I presumed Galvin would not be aimed at this years National but haven’t heard confirmation from Elliott. 28-1 NRNB 6 places with 365.

Does anyone have a decent betting record template they can send to me on Google sheets?

For years I have had it on my works computer but I feel like I need to move with the times (i use sheets for other things), and this will save me a couple of hours of writing a new one.

I've been debating sharing mine... was going to do a post about it at some point this week and see if anyone wanted a copy. I'll get on it and you can decide if it's what you want?

I'm very proud of mine, but slightly worried it's full of my idiosyncrasies and wouldn't make sense to anyone else

[Faugheen_Machine]

I'll take anything that's going.

If it's ok, I'll send you all a DM and see which sheet works best for me

[Dandrew99]

Just posted a bit of information of mine on my diary for anyone interested...
