      • Do yards get paid for certain promo and stable tours? This Hewick story is getting milked no end - does anyone actually fancy him to run a big race?

          If it was it was good (no soft) then I would fancy him quite a bit... only under those conditions though .... that'd probably be classed as "extreme" ground now though so very unlikely.

          He could run well though on good to soft...

          I don't think he's classy enough to win regardless of conditions. He'd need everything to go right and a few to underperform / fall.

          • I recollect a post from maybe 6-8 weeks ago asking if anyone can ‘requestabet’ “Irish horses to finish 123 in 3 or more races”, as the 6/4 that was offered up this very time last year was the steal of the century, shortly settling on odds of 1/2 within 48 hours.

            Well, last night, it all became too clear again - last year was indeed a steal (and this year’s ‘iteration’ is a horrible joke.

            Under Irish Specials on SKYBet -

            irish trained horses to finish 123 in……..

            9+ races - 1/2
            10+ races - 10/11
            11+ races - 6/4 (last year you needed just 3!!!!!)
            12+ races -11/4
            13+ races - 5/1
            14+ races - 8/1

            If you fancy this to happen indeed 15 times, you’ll be offered 12/1.

            To think 10 races is still odds on is extremely hard to fathom, even taking into account the Irish battalions arriving on English shores.

            This year, I will put my head above the parapet and suggest this year’s ‘shortie to print money’ is “Willie Mullins to train the winner of the Triumph Hurdle @ odds of 1/3.

            To have the top of the market trio of Lossiemouth, Blood Destiny & Gala Marceau all covered to win this bet at 1/3 (in a race likely to be 10 runners or less, and with the 4th horse in the market at 10/1) appears surely to be one of the prices of the week??

            Or is it just me?

            • My dad will be turning in his grave at what he's raised, but I'd like to prepare for disappointment - I'm guessing the bars in Best Mate don't sell champagne right? Guess it's gonna be Madri, Burton on Trent's finest Spanish lager for me

                          • Bet365 just refunded a bunch of mine. Not sure if it's all of them yet, but definitely Arkle and Champion Hurdle.
