Was ABP entered for both “Savills” Chases?
If he was only entered in one, that’s a strong argument surely.
(Depends when the bet was placed obviously.)
....Run Wild Fred gets plenty of mentions on here & features in NH Chase & Kim Muir lists, a ‘win today & a/r’ offer might be of interest ahead of its run tomorrow if somebody is able to request.
Does anyone know what the handicap rating ranges are for the Plate & Kim Muir?? I can’t work out if Run Wild Fred is a genuine handicap plot or just not very good. He appears to be a classic handicap plot from the way he’s finished his races but he will have to win soon or place very well to qualify for either race. He may scrap in near the bottom of the Plate at the moment but the distance is probably too short for him? He’s not that quick nor does he jump that well??

Not a horse that I think / want to be winning tomorrow though to be a festival horse.

....as an aside, I’m sure you know GS is the name of Barbados racecourse (I presume the horse is named after the course). Enjoyed a days racing there some years ago with my son. Never backed a winner but we still enjoyed the bar and stumbled out. Happy memory.
I took the 8-1 ABP offer from Hills as it was clearly stated. Given its now well odds-on to win on Friday, I’m just disappointed I didn’t have more on.

Lovely story Eggs. Yes, I was aware but have never been - closest I got was the airport a few miles away - on the way back from a cricket tour in St Lucia.

I had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners in a Cheltenham box 3/4 years ago, there were 4 owners all local to Cheltenham, the horse was indeed named after the Barbados racecourse.
His Gold Cup win came long before online betting and exchanges and even before the big boys bought up all independent bookies, the owner recited a great story about the entire village (Bishops Cleeve) backing the horse before Christmas then again after he had disappointed in a race somewhere but was given a wind op and they couldn't believe how much it had improved the horse at home, local bookies pushed his price out from 25/1 to 33/1 after the poor run so the village went in again, his win literally put two local bookmakers out of business.
1991 I believe...

Sorry pal, emptied the inbox now .... I thought it'd been quiet, a day passing with no-one moaning - I'm kidding, I appreciate any message I get... it's like receiving a text back in the 90s.
