    • Only ever did 1 ante post diary on here which was back during the 20/21 season same year Faugheen cleaned up. Nube Negra not winning the Champion Chase cost me getting a Yankee and a decent Trixie up. Whenever you see Harry Skelton doing that plane celebration over the line, just know I'll be somewhere muttering wanker.

          I'm not sure if I've said this but if Envoi Allen had won that season, I'd have collected 6 figures that year too - obviously he wasn't the last leg so it wasn't as climactic, and I didn't check the amounts until this year for fear it'd wound me too badly

          Then again, if Column Of Fire or Saint Calvados had have won I'd be a forum legend too - so we'll keep pushing





          In all serious though, your achievement is absolutely fantastic and you deserve all the success and respect that nailing something like that deserves. A true FJ legend, and thanks for all the behind the scenes bits you do




          and yes I've had a beer

          • William hill removing BOG getting bit of a traction online, me personally I agree it’s another very punter friendly concession gone but in the grand scheme of things I never pay much heed to BOG. Akin to stabilisers on a bike for a punter.

            You like the horse, you shop around and find a price you like and you bet..

              For me Bill Hill's BOG was always too late anyway cos it was 10am - so it was always nice that they were usually best priced without it in the morning

              • Anyone who can utilise Hills don't need Bog, their prices are up before anyone else's and have ricks galore. Bog a lovely concession for anyone but the majority of the time I imagine most punters (on here) especially will be backing horses that go in not out and shouldn't even need it.

                    • That Leopardstown 2m G1 market is there for the taking. El Fab 1/2 and unlikely to run as starts in Hilly Way on 10th Dec, Blue Lord injured and misses Christmas.

                      7/1 the field, wide open...

                              Took a swing at Dinoblue at 8/1 before their traders scrambled to close the market. Thanks for highlighting Anthony Bromley’s update. Rare to get an edge on the bookies like that.
