  • Triers at the front non triers out the back in the grimes hurdle

    Gotta love Irish racing lol

    Though I'm not sure half of the triers group even actually fancied winning

    • Pretty impressive from Gaoth Chuil in the bumper at Tipperary. Strong 2nd to Pink in the Park at Punchestown last month too. Reckon she'll go for the Champion Bumper?

      Scratch that. Looks like she's going hurdling.

      • With it looking like slot and casino stakes are going to be heavily restricted online I'd imagine the bookies will surely have to re evaluate their current strategy of refusing to take bets off people

        I'd imagine a lot of the very small mainly casino sites will go bust immediately

          Here's hoping you're right

            Some very interesting noises around the regulator acting outside its’ remit in recent years and that the white paper (which will finally be published next week) could contain far better news for punters, and racing in general, than was previously thought.
            I’m not convinced anything will make online bookies change their approach, after all allowing bigger bets increases their risk…

            • I have written a blog just about horses I have a fancy for at the 2023 fez and if you fancy giving it a read then you can on the link below

              With another successful Cheltenham out of the way and the curtains drawing on Royal Ascot, it seems like the perfect time to start the pilgrimage to the greatest show on turf. As a side note, I hav…

                Good write up TOTG. GDM for the NHC on paper is a shoe in for sure.

                  I really really hope he goes that way because he really will be very hard to beat. Fingers crossed Willie sees it that way too

                      Great Write Up T.O.T.G.. .
                      I have most of them in my book already , .
                      Interesting thoughts on Walking on Air .. About Journey with Me , I want to agree ,
                      but i have a slight reservation after his horror fall at the Festival.
                      I was watching the race about 50 yards away in the stand, and to see him walk back up the hill .
                      was slightly unbelievable. i really thought he was no longer with us after the fall.
                      Just worries me that , that may leave a scar on him and he may have lost his Confidence .
                      But obviously , I'd be more than happy to be proved Wrong. I suppose that's factored into the price.

                        • Finally getting around to re-watching the highs and lows of Cheltenham 2022. Thought I'd drop the links in here in case anybody else fancies doing the same.

                              Once a bet is placed its a legally binding agreement that it has to be fulfilled

                                They won’t close your account, they’ll stop your ability from placing bets until you’ve provided all the necessary documents.
                                They can’t void the bets you have placed, these were placed at a time you were able to bet so they must honour these bets.

                                That said the tide may be turning, there’s talk of affordability checks being non intrusive and undertaken remotely without the need for punters to provide documents, but that was when momentum was building for the paper to be released, not sure if we’ll have a government in the morning so priorities are likely to change.
                                But your bets are good…
