  • I would agree with EE that I would be happy with today as a stepping stone towards the Ch Hdle but cannot be happy that he is a good place for Newcastle. I took the decision to go in again at 3/1 but would not back him for a race in 10 days time.

    • Clearly there must have been some onlookers actually at Newbury who know what to look for in these course workouts and then pass on the info to bookmakers. For his price to have drifted that much for both the FF and CH, he must have looked way behind what was expected at this stage of his training programme despite what Nicky says. Either that or the bookies have played a blinder in balancing their books early by tricking punters into backing Lossiemouth, State Man, Ballyburn and Mystical Power. Which one is it???

        I would not be backing any horse for Newcastle or the CHurdle until at least we hear how his work goes this weekend.

          If I were backing any horse for the CH right now I would have to know a lot more than I do about what’s going on with CHill
          Too many unknowns with his fitness, how fit he needs to be for a FF, and how crucial the work on the weekend is.
          Basically we are guessing and when it comes to wagers it’s just too risky imo looking at current odds for horses that are likely winners of the CHurdle

                    He used to be on the Matchbook Betting Podcast a couple of years ago.

                      I appreciate it's been decades since I was a cool kid but does anyone else hold zero credibility in people who video themselves walking into and around a racecourse ?
                      I mean there's attention seeking then there's this clown....

                        I'm definitely beyond daft. Very dangerous to lay her imo. All class. She's special.

                        • They'll have done the precautionary scope on CH after his workout so we'll no doubt get to hear pretty soon if that comes back all clear or not.

                            Wouldn't be scoping him unless he made a noise,or if they have any bugs going around the yard,plenty in Newmarket atm,but that'll be down to it being breakers season.

                              You know that for a fact?

                                She’s a special mare
                                Yet to prove she’s special at this level.
