        Don't worry, I done the same, and went in again!

        Time to give up, I think

          • You 2 are mad imo of course

            Yes the price is attractive, but given everything we know about constitution hill over the last year how could you confidently want to back him? Given any cash out etc would be well and truly gone before news even breaks.

            The price surely won’t go anywhere until he is declared for Kempton? Still 5/1 available and 9/2 in 3 or 4 places as well. 4/1 is still decent enough imo if he’s declared for Xmas.

              We'll still be going in again @ 33/1 and convincing ourselves it's a good price and he can still win it despite being on crutches !

                Depends on the updates provided by Hendo.
                Every chance he'll run a Constitution Hill advent calendar with recycled bullshit updates each day, could be a trading rollercoaster...

                  He was cut today by a few, after that update today!

                  Bookmakers are ridiculous, unfortunately!

                    Haha I know!

                    Be retired and I'll be requesting prices.

                      I think I'm mad as well, i just keep seeing the nice prices and forgetting all his problems, no confidence involved though, more mindless optimism !

                      • I cashed out for a loss on con hill, got suckered in despite having strick rules around backing horses that have been injuried or noticeable set back

                        Don’t think he’ll make the fez, and we’ll be lucky to see him back tbh

                          They all have their price.
                          You won’t be the only one tempted by current prices.
                          Its a gamble , but that’s the game we are in.

                            Aye of course there will be folk similar to yourself, but surely those are on now and not many more (daft enough sorry not meaning to dig you here) will back him until they see him declared?

                            The Cheltenham week bettors who don’t bet antepost won’t know what the f*ck happened for him to have hit 5/1 should he come back to close to his best! Although I’m of the mindset of Opatcho where I don’t think he will, unfortunately.

                              You have to be a big believer that he can get back to his very best.

                              Nicky has previous with horses that were nearly 'gone'. Binocular and Sprinter Sacre are the two that spring to my mind immediately.

                              Pretty sure Binocular was matched 1000 on the exchanges too, though I may be wrong about this.

                                Yes, you are spot on about binocular so we can keep on backing con hill and remind ourselves of that !
