  • June ‘24 Yankee

    One month finishes, another month starts. Hopefully MoM gives us an early steer but post any thoughts you have for this months selections.

    Firefox for the Arkle isn't terrible value, however I slightly suspect we are on for more Soft ground festivals given the way the last few years have gone.

        ….outside of the handicaps, is he likely to have 4 winners?

        This was last June’s, looks like we went the Canadian route but were wide of the mark.
        Marine National - Arkle
        El Fabiolo - Champion Chase
        Envoi Allen - Ryanair
        Maskada - Mares Chase
        Premier Magic - Hunter Chase​

          The markets seem very stagnant this year. We don’t know the race conditions for some of the races yet and if some will go completely. Then we have ballyburn a short priced fav for all the novice chases. I can’t see myself placing many more ante post bets over the summer which is a rarity for me, I’m already well behind last years outlay at this stage.

            I think we need a theme for this month to spark a bit of life into it

              ….appears some agreement that things are getting tougher so maybe worth looking through the Diary section and considering selections from there. Horses that members have backed, a members diary Yankee.

              For example, I got the impression Saxon was particularly impressed with 2 at Punchestown that are both available at 14-1.

                How about if Saxon Warrior is up for it we let him lose on a mini life changer or even life changer?

                  ….ha, ha. I’d be up for that but there seems a consensus to go safe with certain targets. There are a few calculated selections in the diary section, with a PTP likely novices highlighted away from the normal bumper crop.

                    Im looking at it that the prices are so shit why not have a go at one with bigger prices with some sort of thought behind it? And Sax is the man to put one together at bigger prices.

                      Yep, no pressure Saxon Warrior but we should let him get on first and we can pick up the pieces!!!

                        Rather let him loose on it Somer...........

                        Or I could just pick a losing Yankee

                            ….certainly the two threads I was suggesting, indeed I might know the Yankee already
