    Yeah, if she farted or breathed at the wrong moment.

      • Sir Gino a non runner, my last standing life changer now wrote off! Agree with segal on the nico point as well, he might be shit at tipping but he tends to say what he thinks and think he is spot on.

          I think the yard issues, along with the ground and the fact that it looked like they would probably not win anyway realistically, made them reach that decision.
          without the yard issues they would have run as was the original intention.
          Thats my thoughts fwiw!!
          Also which I forgot to say and imo is important….
          JP would have seen what happened with Jeriko and Iberico the day before.

          Jeriko du reponet and iberico lord didn't have the form to get close in either one of their races. People thought they might have improvement in them, but if what they showed before Cheltenham was the best that they're capable of then getting well beat shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Iberico lord is rated 15lbs and 25lbs off the front two in the champion hurdle, jerikos best run was probably about a 135 performance.

          If Henderson trained the likes of Ballyburn, Lossiemouth and state man and they were being pulled up or getting beat 10 lengths then I would agree there's obviously something wrong. But there hasn't been a single run from any horse of his where I've thought "that horse has to have a virus, no other explanation".

          So the fact he's pulling his better horses while admitting himself that they appear totally fine and there's no actual reason for it, is insane imo.

            Didn't think it existed in racing.

            • Trying to find some positives out of the Nicky situation. All being well, he's going to go to Aintree with some fresh horses.

                  • Well, that’s the end of day 3!!
                    95% of all my bets are focussed on the first 3 days of the festival. So it’s a little bit sad to seeing 0-1 open bets still when I olen io my accounts

                    fridays are always a challenge, so will withdraw the majority and try and keep what remains

                    a little bit sad

                    tired

                    but one more day… let’s hope for a good one

                      • Seeing loads of tweets for Bet MGM, absolute con men.

                        How these regulated companies can get away with this stuff is scandalous.

                        The gambling commission are absolutely pointless.

                            Seen one earlier where a bloke won a grand, they asked for documents about his paypal and they closed his account afterwards robbing him of a grand, they're the worst bookie ive ever seen. I had one bet with them which won being GW Arkle at 20/1 and I got my money out even though it took around 8 hours to hit my bank account, was scared I wouldn't get it

                                They've settled Teahupoo as a non runner for me. Tried to join live chat and was over 480 in a queue...

                                I assume similar issues on Twitter?
