The secret is NOT to ask for a price at Laddies/Corals. Just pass your slip over with the online price on and 9/10 times they'll just put it through without any questions asked. Never had an issue being paid out.

Anyone else annoyed that Gordon's double declared a few horses.
Don't care about the antepost side of it so much but makes the betting for the meeting a pain in the arse.
Whichever way the ground goes it's a trciky one to justify, especially if the official going for Friday and Saturday ends up being the same.
And if it's the same ground tomorrow as when he declared Wednesday and he pulls any of them, then that's not great either.
I'd have already had him on the phone asking what the fuck is he playing at if I worked at the BHA or whoever monitirs this sort of thing.
This sport is for punters primarily.
Not trainers piss balling about !

All 3 that have double entries are over races on the Sat over further so his justification will be well if it's quicker than anticipated they'll go in the longer races no doubt. What is frustrating is as soon as racing is done tomorrow all horses who have ran and hold a double entry should get taken out the market so to get a clearer tissue from the shows and not letting bookies reduce everything in price so the R4s are bigger.Originally posted by Quevega View PostAnyone else annoyed that Gordon's double declared a few horses.

Anyone local to Cheltenham - is it currently raining there or not?
Few contrasting forecasts but heavier rainfall looks like it's due to start about 8am tomorrow.Comment

Just asked my parents who are staying in Prestbury for the weekend (and not going racing - don’t ask!).
Apparently in the morning “it was tipping and rained for a couple of hours heavily. It stopped this afternoon but there were more showers later.”
That’s about the best I’m going to get out of them!Comment

Who’s there tomorrow? I’ve renewed my membership this year…..but without the festival
just feel there should be a cap on membership, particularly festival week.
this is my feeble two fingered reply to JCR.

Heavy rain due today from 2pm onwards for up to 5 hours. Expect there to be several NR's today but hopefully tomorrow the ground should be perfect.Comment

Clerk of the course said 4.5mm yesterday morning, a further 1mm overnight. Going is good to firm, good in places. Expect that to change during the course of today.Comment

Yep. Expect it'll arrive too late for those that wanted rain for today.

I worry with the good to firm going as it is today that the ground will be horrible tomorrow (loose on top but still pretty fast) after a deluge of rain - hopefully you're right that it's perfect and we can see some good racingOriginally posted by Lobos View Post
