Would be great for the horses still in the yard, to be able to stay there. Hope that happens. -
I'm sure, like most people, something gets sorted on Friday and we see all the horses running at Cheltenham that we expected.
If the rumours re Gigginstown sticking two fingers up at the BHA are true, I wonder if this will extend to their horses with other owners? Thinking Embittered/Assemble with Joseph, for example.Comment

I feel sorry for the stable staff (well the ones who arent in the photos) but I’m desperately sorry for all of us to be honest. Some spend months and months scrimping and saving and WE’LL be the ones fucked over because the bookies won’t give a shit, I’ve been doing this long enough to know the risks and have no problem losing antepost with the usual risks....but this just smacks different, fucking bookies will be laughing all the way to the bank.Originally posted by Hurricane fly View PostComment

Think it’s time the antepost rules were rewritten for extreme circumstances such as this and a virus, should be just if there are genuine injuries, horse not good enough for the meeting or a horse just not declared.Originally posted by TheEagleHasLanded View Post
The stress AP betting for Cheltenham just isnt worth it anymore in the current world.Comment

What isn’t known is a situation like this, it’s a risk not factored into the market. I think, however, this is now becoming more managable for firms to make a decision regarding ante-post bets involving Elliott trained runners;
e.g. void all bets for any runners who remain registered with Elliott at the next declaration stage.
The key horses will have moved, it’s surely a more manageable & logistical impact from their perspective. Be interesting if any firms go this way.Last edited by Eggs; 3 March 2021, 07:41 AM.Comment

This is pretty much my view too.Originally posted by Madmoose View Post
Not just stress, the time commitment, form checking, race replays etc, the challenge and fun do just seem pointless, and although I feel like I write this too often lately this is obviously an exceptional circumstance...Comment
