    ...... ok, so I'll get my money back? Worst case scenario


    You are aware you can make money from gambling outside of literally just picking the winner aren't you?



    I don't think I'd back him NRNB in a CH though, even at 70s - and I know that's not even the option! TigerRolllllll

      But why just lend them horrible bookies money for a few months ??? Stick it on something that could run in a race surely? Why not do him EW in the CH?

        I know this is a forum to make best ante-post bets ….but emotionally if they turned for home in CH…,Bob, Stste Man & Const…..surely there a big part of u wanting to cheer Bob up the hill

        Some horses you just want to be with …like Honey in Mares last year

            Need a place bet
            You lose the win part as soon as you put the bet on.

            If he were mine I would’ve even consider the CH.
            Train him for races he has a chance of winning imo.

              Sadly place bets are nearly always really desperate or else I'd have a good pop on him. Connections will however be very happy finishing in the money. With IEP looking ever likely to go Stayers, 3rd place is up for grabs with the chance of higher if something were to go wrong with the front two. He's been a quite wonderful horse and is unbeaten at Cheltenham so he deserves to take his chance. I'd love to see him run in it and I'd be surprised if he didn't now. I'm happy to forgo the win bet to cheer him up the hill.

                Unbeaten at Cheltenham sounds good until you watch him getting thrashed in the Turners!!

                Im not sure he’s done enough to warrant being in the same race as CHill personally, certainly over 2m,but then I’m not one of his big fans.
                As for cheering him home, that imo is for winners or horses that look like they might win up the hill, not for those that are getting well beat and possibly sneaking into a place.
                Each to their own though.

                  Yep, everyone's different. I've always had a soft spot for the festival horses that keep coming back and especially those like him who have a real touch of class about them. I love my racing and it's definitely not all about winning for me. I do hope he's there again on Super Tuesday. 5pts profit for a 1pt EW bet is not to be sniffed at either.

                    Stayers all but ruled out for Marie's Rock. Mares Hurdle again.

                      Marie’s Rock set to target second Mares’ Hurdle triumph geegeez.co.uk

                      Connections of Marie’s Rock appear to have abandoned ambitions of conquering the staying hurdling division in favour of another crack at the Mares’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.Her previous attempts at three miles have proved fruitless, but the team behind Nicky Henderson’s nine-year-old have always felt they needed further evidence over a staying distance before

                        The right decision but I'll definitely not be backing her

                          Story on ATR that flooring porter might go for the stayers again.

                            That story is gathering momentum. I read it somewhere else a few days ago. Would make sense as he has little chance of winning the BANC imo.

                              Was going to ask where the sea of blue came from and there is my answer

                                He's got no chance in this either though
