…KoK into 8-1 TWAR now.

Looking like 12-1 is as good as it gets now (Oddschecker showing 14-1 PP, but it’s actually 12-1 on site).

What price was American Mike this time last year ?

Pretty sure I took 16s this time last year on American Mike

….I’ve got 20-1 TWAR (Sky) in July but no idea how that fluctuated.

22-1 Lads (presume with boost) for the bumper on 15th Oct.

If my memory serves me right. American Mike was 20-1. and i made an A/P bet on his run at Down Royal .
Said the girl in the Bookies . if he wins here he'll be 10-1. , Think he was actually cut to 12's.

Aye, 10s to 12s sounds like the price he should be after winning the race. Not before it!

Does seem really short especially as he's not even been declared for the race yet.

stupid price and muggy betting I reckon.

Quite happy to sit out the King of Kingsfield pile on for now, on breeding alone he makes very little appeal. Can anyone honestly envisage a horse with his profile being the best bumper horse around?! I'd be very disappointed if he was, it'd have to be a bang average year at best, i'm finding it difficult to imagine him even placing. Sexy looking RPR from his PTP but there's barely any form to go on from it (Not KOK's fault) and what there is is total dog egg. Gigginstown with all they've had in their armoury down the years have never had anything in the first 3 of the bumper. It's not for me Clive.

I don’t believe there’s been any real money for this horse

Bit harsh perhaps but agree it does smell a bit .

First time from memory that I've ever known a first time out bumper horse to get 'smashed in' off the back of another horses declaration

Very true. Get the feeling they are taking care of BDA by giving him the easier introduction. All a bit odd to me. I'm going to just let this weekend happen and watch the dust settle.

[Benjy23]

I think the reason American Mike is in the 2m6f and not the 2 miler could be that Gordon has a serious 2 mile prospect in there and doesn't want them clashing??

Interesting thought. But it could be he has a serious Ballymore prospect that he wants to start off in the Saturday 2 mile maiden...

As expected LTR have put up KOK for the bumper, Impression Josh got (who knows..) is that KOK has shown a lot more at home than BDA. Stellar Story seams to be also well regarded by GE.

He does seem to have some insight into the hdb and Elliott yards it seems
