2023 Champion Hurdle

[Big Bucks]

Used to be if you could go in and confirm that you put it on they would compare handwriting

Can still do that. I done it with the Argies, straight forward enough.

Good lad, very pleased to have requested that price on Twitter and they gave a bigger price than I thought they would.

When posting about it, there were mixed reviews on here about whether 33s was a good enough price at the time.

Pleased for everyone that joined that gang.
Fibgers crossed we see him become a superstar.

I take a photo of every shop betting slip I get, and store those photos safely away in the cloud.
Just in case I lose a slip.

Needless to say, most are losers and photos get deleted.

Have a good search of the house before coming down to Cheltenham.

Then if you've found it, hopefully he wins and you can collect while your down there

I also did this, placed my bet December 8th online at 33-1 and in shop. I dug out my slip but it's faded. Just hoping for a good run

Do you have a photo of the docket FM?

I may have. Need to check that - thanks for jogging my memory. Have a feeling I sent a gloating WhatsApp message after he won at Sandown. That might just come back to save me!

I feel your pain, no chance I could log my bets in a diary this year let alone lodge my antepost dockets in a safe but handy location. Family/work commitments have massively taken precedence this year. I’ve only just logged all my singles down on record this week, haven’t the heart to even contemplate the multiples.

Excellent
fingers crossed we see a superstar performance, we hoped for 15 months ago.

9/4 for a 20L win


Tipped up?



Literally worst thing I've ever read.



******Just realised I read the post wrong...... it's 10L plus at 9/4

Are there any lay opportunities? For distance. Or CH to win by between 0-5 lengths? One to play on the day, but if it comes up soft and potentially blunts his speed slightly, and Stateman runs his race, whilst I expect CH to put him in his place, I wouldn’t expect a hammering. Best animal he has faced. If 5+ lengths is 4/6, any other eventuality would be 11/8ish? Maybe 5/4? And CH by 0-5 lengths would possibly be 2/1? On soft ground I would interested. Despite the fact I’m there on Tuesday and want CH to smash him by 30 lengths and put in a 183 rating performance!

Agree regardless of the distance. Talking 10 or 20 lengths seems very premature imo.

State Man is a very good horse and put away honeysuckle easy enough in the Irish Champion.

Constitution Hill looks a superstar but I wouldn’t be touching those bets. He beat Epatante 12 and 17 lengths whos never got close to Honeysuckle and State Man put 4/5 lengths to Honey. I know the distances etc can’t be taken literally but on those lines I don’t see him beating State Man more than 10.

If he does then he is on his way, as he is already, to superstardom.

Epatante beaten 3 and half lengths by Honeysuckle last March. That’s a lot closer than 12 and 17 effortless lengths.

Aye and State Man put 4/5 to Honeysuckle.

Constitution Hill hasn’t been off the bridle yet. Be interesting to see what he finds. I think he will find but at odds of 2/1 to beat a 165 rated horse 10+ lengths, no thank you.

The 11/10 constitution hill to win state man place is by far a better bet imo.

I’m not one for betting distances and I ain’t starting now.
And considering SM is an improver, it’s a dangerous bet imo and just not worth it.
Watch CH piss up by 20 now!!

Watch back the ending to his first race at Sandown, couple of slaps and we get to see what Constitution Hill finds, forgot how impressive it was.

I completely agree, what sort of stake are you having to put down to make the bet worthwhile?

The distance bets are always dangerous. He could go and do it, I just don’t think he will and at 2/1 or 9/4 was it, that doesn’t tempt me.

The only bet I’ll have is the one I said above but likely on the day if it’s still there.

I backed the 20+ lengths with betfair at 22/1 a couple of week ago but not because I think it will happen, just a fun bet and something to cheer on if we see a monster performance as I only have him in multiples and no single. So I fully expect a 19 length win now.

Yep fun bets are fine, and I hope he does win easily.
Its the taking short odds on distances that have no appeal for me.
