    It’s quite remarkable that we’ve actually made a profit three of the five years of these and the profit most times has been very healthy - so much so that we’re up overall from them at this point if backing them level stakes across the five years. It’s been fantastic how well they’re been received on here and how so many people get involved. When we talked about starting it back in 2017/2018, nobody knew how or if we would make it work. Think it’s really great how everyone debates them across the month. Id be keen to know how many people bet them. Obviously FJ has lurkers and I imagine a few of those probably throw the odd free bet or whatever on these. If and more importantly WHEN we land all four one year, it’ll almost feel like a coup with dozens of us waiting for the last horse on the same antepost yankee from months in advance. Would be amazing for everyone to win big together. That would be the dream.
    Hadn't realised that MOM ... good to know though isn't it!

    It is a 'when' ... just need that magical combination and the right amount of good luck



    Just gone through the markets and I am struggling for anything inspirational for this months yankee though, wow!

      …I’m getting a vibe that Nick Rockett (BANC) & Brighterdaysahead (MNH) will be two of the selections.

        I thought I mentioned Gala Marceau already for May, turns out it was in March’s yankee thread !
        The only consolation for a dying brain is that I snared the 25/1…

          ….she was actually 33-1 with PP/BFSB for a bit. I thought she was very impressive yesterday, I remember him getting interviewed on his way into the weighing room after Cheltenham & I got the impression Danny Mullins really rates her.

            GM in the MH I like. Also brighterdaysahead in the MNH.... I still want IEP (Turners) in there for a banker and maybe Nick Rockett (BANC) to balance although I would also like to keep adding onto Gerri in the GC as I think he has a decent shot at beating GDC....

              ….I thought somebody suggested IEP is staying over hurdles, so probably enough doubt for him not to be a banker.

                That's very interesting, if true. What about Corbetts Cross or InThePocket then for the Turners? 4 of the 5 ahead of them in the betting are unlikely to end up here.... (Con Hill, State Man, Gaelic + IEP...)

                Both are 12/1 on PP

                  A certain Saxon Warrior is adamant Corbetts Cross is BANC bound…

                    Blimey! You have to scroll quite far to find anything that is actually reasonably likely to be heading for the Turners...

                      Good Land might be solid enough in the Turners at 20s

                        A bit outside the box but one that I’m just not quite sure why he’s not fav or near fav is Premier Magic in the hunters. I know it’s a race many don’t have a bet in even on the day but the reigning champ at 12/1 (albeit only priced up with a few) seems a bit too big

                          Have to agree 12/1 looks OK on the basis previous winners/near misses have generally quoted half that price for renewals.
                          Followed up at Cheltenham a few weeks ago too when hacking up.
                          It is a specialist division though and not one I give any real attention to, certainly not at this stage…

                              Keep them coming lads. My mind is about 90% made up on three having just read the thread again but the final spot is still absolutely wide open to my mind

                                So .... Possibly - Nick Rockett - b.a.n.c. , Brighter Days Ahead - mares nov hdl , Premier Magic - h.chase .
                                Plus One ......... Gala Marceau - mares hdl , Goodland - turners , Gerri Colombe - gold cup , ??????????.
                                A couple not mentioned so far i think , - Energumene - champion chase ?, Flame Bearer - ryanair chase . ?.
