If anything you fancy for the festival is running a competitive race at Haydock today, I’d put a line through it. Looks like the kind of ground that will bottom a horses season there today
Interesting with 3 weeks to go what people thoughts are?
Feels like this year has been much tougher than last few......shorter prices from the bookies, they have upped their game on cashout, etc (tho not something i use that much)....and tbf its their business, so that's fine......our edge (if we have one) should be more on judgement anyway. Long as they keep ante post markets open, then i can have fun
What i think is different is.....there are a LOT more horses where they could switch between races....maybe something we are going to have to get more and more used to and have plans for,,,,,,or maybe a different year
Touch wood, there don't seem to have been too many injuries yet (Ferny guess biggest)......tho 3 weeks is a long time
For me, i have a fairly large book and actually only bet for the engagement with the sport and getting into the form.....but last few years have seen high profit margins....and this year, still hopefully be up.....but my guess is nowhere near previous years.....and long as festival is a success and Tiger gets 6th, i will be happy
For anyone new to AP.....hope its going ok.....and not sure whether this is a tough intro this year, or the new world, or just i have not picked so well
Just a reminder to anyone attending Cheltenham racecourse that apart from having a bet with on course bookmakers Cheltenham is a Cashless event
You will not be able to pay for drinks or food unless you can pay by card
Also,the cheapest pint at the November meeting was ?6 80
So make sure there is plenty on your card
Wonder what this latest exclusive into Irish racing from Paul Kimmage is going to reveal….could do with a nice smooth build up to this yrs festival after last year!

Just bang them in before and after and drink water provided at the course during.
What service does everyone use for replays of races?
New to Antepost and currently use sporting life but is a pain searching each race date, just wondering if there is a more efficient method

Roll on 3 weeks
Good question. With this time of year I feel we all look through our bets and get a little bit nervous the closer we get to the off. The problem that I have found this season is that there has been no juice in the prices. Horses that I would cover at the start of the season were already well found by the bookies and so I left them at the prices they were. Unfortunately I don't think this will change for a while. The good news though is that the bookies have 28 favourites and we know they all can't win.
