    • I'd been hoping Zanahiyr would be a big player for the Coral Cup but imo today's win has blown his mark.

      Imagine he'll be somewhere between 150-155 by the time the British capper has finished with him - and I fear that'll be too high even with Jordan G on board to take a few pounds off.

      Difficult to see where he can go at next year's Festival.

      The betting suggests Champion Hurdle which could be good for backers of Abacadabras because it would hopefully give Gordon more incentive to send him for the Stayers Hurdle.

      • My first thought after that was also Abacadabras NC.

        He's used the race today to find out with Zanahiyr, so he has to compaign him openly now he's won. The old course at Cheltenham will suit him better than the new course did in the Triumph, but you can't see him troubling Honeysuckle. Perhaps he might take him to Aintree and Punchestown instead.
        Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.

          • I hope everyone is well, and looking forward to a decent weekends racing.

            just some quick research for myself, If there are any ideas or requests for free to view content you would like to see.... whether that's French horses, point to points, hunter chasers... or something else betting related...

            I could put that forward, and when It's a less busy part of the season, I could feasibly make that come to fruition.

            I won't take up this thread, but feel free to PM me, if anyone at all has a serious/ Genuine suggestion, no matter how easy, difficult, or left field.

            Many thanks.


            For anyone who hasn't seen, there are a few horses to follow in the short article I have written for a fairly well known odds comparison site, some very obvious, some not so, and a wild one potentially for the Mares chase. All views are appreciated..

              Hope you are keeping well Scooby.

              I'm interested to know what you think of Gin on Lime. Is she a Mares Chase contender in your opinion?

                Her last run would look to be her best, though she's not taken on a great deal at all.

                I wouldn't see her winning an arkle or anything like that, I'm not sure she would appreciate a test of stamina either, if it was a battle like elimay and colreevy was, I'd expect her to fold.

                All depends what turns up really, she could be somewhat of a player if it was a particularly poor renewal, and the race cut uo for one reason or another. Though I'd be dissapointed in the race itself, if she was good enough to be winning it.

                She wouldn't be one that I'm keen on.

                • I've only just seen the previous chat about the service at the bars at Cheltenham last week, but for those that like real ale there was a pop-up bar at the back of the Centaur that had a couple of different cask ales that were a 'mere' ?6.40 per pint, and no queue at all. I checked with them and they said that they'd be back in November, but don't tell everyone!

                        • Reading the mullins stable tour I think I'm going to keep bets on the irish novice hurdlers to a minimum until we've seen some track evidence

                          He has so many horses all aimed at the same races I feel I'd end up wasting a lot of points on horses that went to different races

                          Will certainly be restricting myself to free bets on them to not waste actual money

                          • Following the Roksana retirement interview which is what I believe we need from trainers these days, here is Dan Skelton with Shan Blue after the race providing an update. Glad he’s okay

                              Not when you see how slyly it went into his pocket.His eyes were everywhere but didnt see me watching and laughing till it was to late.
