Last year they were all pretty quick to give back non entrants in the handicaps.
Not this year though.
Not so much bothered about the money they hold, it's the fucking admin side when they all get done on declarations (especially when they don't bring the refunds to the top of the bet listings, so hopefully some get done at 6 day entries to spread the load. For my sake anyhow

Ha ha, agreed - there are a lot of better things to be doing by then!

Yeah absolute ball ache for me as well .... I've already started marking them in my spreadsheet to try and ease the pain.

That's when Cheltenham officially starts for me though. The grind.

Is there a podcast due to be out from last night? Just planning my Saturday, my weatherbys Cheltenham festival guide has arrived and Liverpool are on tonight

Yeah, just uploading them, we broke them into 4 just because (as usual) lots of waffle .... Probably get them on youtube from about 6pm

Why am I mentioning this? Is it because it's interesting? Or is it because I need to do some 'house keeping' on my spreadsheet and I'm procrastinating.

Can't argue

I'm sure I had 6 months off from here at least twice as well

The million dollar question. Taking away any book bias you may have. Which horses are you most confident about in 2.5 weeks time?

Despite everything, I'm actually mad keen on Jonbon? I don't really know why. But I feel he's gonna Tank along and outbattle El Fabs

Where on earth is eveyone?!

less than 3 weeks to Chelt and I'm talking to myself

Been really struggling going back to the football after losing dad, but had ended up ignoring my pals. Went back to my first game since October today. Rewarded with a dismal 3-1 defeat.

On the plus it was our Draft FPL dinner from last season. Bottom half pay for top half at Tayyabs. I suck at draft so lay every year, but got a carry home of uneaten chops. We started at midday though so I'm bloody banjaxed. Reckon Jonbon wins, and despite being my worst position, I'm really coming round to Blood Destiny

Trust me robith get back to it.

….no idea about confidence in any. I cashed in a 28-1 Blazing Kahl voucher & don’t have him covered at all which I really regret, I can see that coming back to hurt. I’m more hopeful than confident on everything really.

Anyone know if/when bookies are pricing up races for 2024?
I have had a look at some but none that I can see yet.

[The Fellow]

paddy power have selected horses priced up for selected races in the specials , i don't think there are actual races with runners listed

[The Fellow]

i think you start getting next years prices from other bookies around the start of the Festival
