  • When will the individual race threads be going up? Less than 8 weeks out - wary people probably don't want them too early but surely it's getting closer to that time...

      So with no waley cohen I'm not sure what amateurs Henderson uses.

        O'Connor rode for Henderson in it before but it was a JP horse (Ok Corral), O'Neill rode for Kim Bailey once before (Newtide) so they can switch allegiance when it suits.

        It seems Will Biddick is now retired or at least he hasn't been jocked up in a long time according to his stats this year; i was having a nosey on the RP site to see who were the top amateur jockeys this year and see Zac Baker seems to get a few rides, but in doing so, i found the perfect named jockey for Gavin Cromwell at Cheltenham;

          Isty said after the DRF. I'm still not sure what anyone would want to post in an individual novice chase race thread that can't be posted here.

            Yes post DRF.
            I think if you look at all the novice races the number of horses whose target is definite is very low and that would lead to mass duplication across multiple threads, this has happened in the past and caused frustration.
            Hopefully the DRF should resolve some of those target issues...

              Perfect - seems like the ideal time to go in that direction!

                  Haha, not sure we could give in to Mullins and wait until the Monday before having race threads up...

                  • Huge move for AI Turners. Blue across the board. Arkle red. Looks like the decision has been made. Thats a huge vote of confidence in one or more of Willies others IMO. Interesting to see GDM red for the NHC and blue for the BANC. Lots of moves but the AI one is massive!!! Suppose I'll have to wait till the 3rd day to collect

                      He's almost fav for the turners on the exchange

                      he's also a sea of blue for the flogas

                      • El Fabiolo steadied in market for Arkle as well. Shortened today by PP.

                        • ​Mighty Potter going for the Flogas
                          Gerri Colombe to the Ten Up

                            Ideal races for both I'd say.

                            • Ten Up is over 3m? That would qualify him for the NHC, though Gordon says in the article that “between Chemical Energy, Minella Crooner and Gerri Colombe we’ll have options for the National Hunt Chase”. He also helpfully said it would be “one or the other” for GC (referring to NHC or RSA)

                                Something had to give and he's the one.
