Refused to race

Missed the start so didn't see it. Thanks.
Maybe he didn't like the cheekpieces

Poor from Bet365 putting Shishkin down as a loser when most others are voiding him. I’d hope they’ll follow suit later

Poor from the BHA to say he was a runner, absolute farce. Working for the bookies them crooks. And I didn't have a penny on him.

Even the ones voiding him are only doing single bets. I'd say the vast majority of bets involving him were multiples of some sort.

365 have voided it now

Boost for Stay Away Fay there from Grey Dawning.

Nice performance. Jumped some really well, others not so much. Apple Away disappointing.

Thought they’d change their stance

Looks like for multiples they’re only paying out in bet credits so that’s still a joke

I mean it's not is it. We all love a moan at a bookie but he's a runner. You wouldn't want a Rule 4 if you'd backed the winner would you?

[YoungHustler]

Exactly. The loose horse was distracting him pretty much all the way, costing him ground and momentum. No no loose horse and he prob wins that. Lost his head in the end.

As a backer of Flooring Porter, I'm not disheartened by today's performance. You can clearly see how affected he was by going right handed and the loose horse. It will be a different story back at Cheltenham and I think the 20s now offered by B365 is an overreaction and a very decent EW price.

Flooring Porter surely goes NHC now ??

That would seem hugely unlikely and a terrible decision imo.

Why?? Better chance surely. Vanillier took that route after winning todays race. I can't see him winning a BANC.

He's known as a tricky ride and proved it again today. Not sure why you'd want to chuck an amateur on him! Especially when you're going to get much bigger connections probably taking the top amateurs away. Appreciate Derek rode Vanillier but there was no JP runner that year.

Vanillier is also nowhere near Flooring Porters level as a hurdler, so I wouldn't make much of a link there.

Favori De Champdou sealed double for Gordon Elliott and Jack Kennedy

Oooo early name dropper, get on!
