mullins says aiming at royal bond

Was just about to say that I expect him to be a Royal Bond type.

[opatcho]

Makes sense the royal bond would be a target
second tier Mullins type? Feels like it to me

Gambling Commission 12 week consultation begins, apologies I don’t have a link but everyone urged to complete the form so the regulator can ignore it….

Yeah I was meaning to post the link myself. I think everyone should fill it out and say their piece even if it falls on deaf ears. I’m seriously concerned that I’m going to be forced into giving up my hobby due to this stupidity. I’m not handing over details and don’t see why I should be dictated to when it’s my money.

Did anyone catch that nice performance from mystical power at galway? Didnt jump all that great but has a big engine

Put a bit of a dent in the Mullins 4yo Mares form as well with the 2nd fav, who came second to Zenta , getting well beat in behind tonight.

The section of most interest to us is on pages 35-66. I suspect it will take a few at least a couple of hours to read the consultation and complete all the responses in that section. Worth doing though IMHO..

Yeah on Imp et Passe, im sure that they will go for the CH and if beaten they might step him up depending the performance. Nicky also said that Mister Coffee will win the national!! lol. He was a bit tipsy to say the least so not sure how to take all that he said! He mentioned that Shishkin has been doing dressage!!! Who knows if thats true lol

Dressage was spot on! - https://twitter.com/AtTheRaces/statu...30117809655808

Definitely. I’m surprised how little it gets talked about on a racing forum tbh. A lot of people are going to be affected by this in particular us ante post punters. Imagine getting your account closed or harassed for statements etc after nrnb starts and you can’t get bets on in the lead up or during the festival. The frustration would be off the charts! It’s no good thinking ah it’s ok we can just use the shops. Yes you can for now but how much longer are they realistically going to be around? Plus they’ll introduce a card system eventually that states how much you’re allowed to bet each month etc. The long term effect on racing could also have dire consequences.

There’s no point crying afterwards, we need to try and get our point across and hope someone sees sense before every aspect of our lives are micro managed. Every single one of us on here should be filling this in.

There's no reverse button KS, the direction of travel is set and not changing.
You, and everyone else in here, will eventually have your accounts restricted anyway so ultimately trying to bet horses, and in particular Cheltenham, was always going to get harder and will likely get the point of being very difficult.
Shops and overseas bookmakers will be the only options available to the majority, day to day betting on course is likely to get better as many punters are forced there.
One implication that hasn't been considered is the exchanges, traders usually win but the place is full of bookmakers who lay off/hedge their on course, online or shop positions, the figures stated will kick start a review after one bet for many and they'll disappear, the exchange is under huge threat from this...

Restricted to the hilt already. Those I’m left with I don’t want to lose because of having to produce financial documents which I’m not prepared to do. Shops and cash in general are on the way out so that option will slowly disappear over time too.
The more we can do to make our point and hopefully some common sense or at least increase the thresholds for when this stupidity kicks in. The numbers are far too low before they come wanting to know everything about your finances. No common sense at all.

Very interesting shuffling in the arkle and churdle markets with PP just now.
could be informative, or possibly just rubbish
