[Kevloaf]

Kevloaf should be longer than 25s, he's only good with a spreadsheet

You're getting the hand of the @ symbol though, I'd have you shorter than Lobos. You'll be using emojis next.

Can I get a price on BigFish doing it with his graphs and sliding scale?

I also know how to find the buttons on the back end of the forum to change your picture and tag too, so be careful or you'll end up with My Little Pony all over your account.

Middle_Of_March Is, as I write, creating a market for those capable of pulling this off, you are around 2/7.ComplyOrDie is around 7s
Kevloaf is a 25s shot
Lobos is 200s
and I’m a million...

Unsure how I've made it in there at 7's, you won't find worse value at the festival

Someone really clever should create a horse racing trading platform like they do footballers.
I’ll take 10% for the idea...

My buddy created a championship ff platform (www.gaffr.io) - was chatting to him just before xmas about taking his codebase to do something similar with Racing. Won't be able to put much time into in for the foreseeable I'd say but its something i have on my backlog.

Not claiming to be really clever but i am a tech nerd

Yeah seen that mentioned, I wonder how they work out the value of the runners?

We should get that on the racecards.... back the most valuable is probably a better system than anything I've ever come up with.

if this does prove true it puts tremendous value on all irish runners with nrnb - surely they'd only bring over runners they're uber confident about?

Mullins in the RP today saying the new Brexit procedures mean he has to pay 19% VAT of the value of his runner which he gets refunded in three months time. We worried about the Rona but if that's still in place in March that could be crippling for Irish trainers

Brexit is a bigger issue than Covid, but WPM having a runner in the UK tomorrow is a big step forward for March, as is the VAT revelation. It shows it can be done.

It will of course impact some operations but, and its an important but, Gigginstown, CPS, RR, Morans, Donnelly's etc are all examples of owners that would take a 19% hit like that without blinking, especially knowing they will get it back. Therefore the vast majority of Irish horses that impact the quality of the festival will make it, despite potentially few coming over overall.

Fantastic, good luck with it.
Let me know when you need my bank details for my 10%...

You mastered the new forum
layout quicker than most so went in the book as a ‘potential IT geek’...

I have too many limitations to be considered a real IT geek, I'll leave that up to 2/7 fav ryanh97 who should be more a 1/20 shot

[FaugheenTheMachine]

Envoi Allen and Asterion Fologne both declared on Sunday. I did not expect that

Good news, especially cos with I wouldn't be trusting HMRC to be timely with returns

Old man's memory says second half of February when they've mostly had their prep runs.

The poor Skektons have had a horror show today. Poor Mohaayed and Ardelthen, I can’t imagine there was much chat on the way home from Warwick today

Shocker TKP. Ardlethen really was the apple of the owners eye too. Awful.
