  • Something that only really fully clicked with me last season.
    And important to factor in,
    JP's horses do not get multiple entries very often, or as routinely as some trainers would like to do.

    There is no sensible reason for this IMO, but they just tend to be quite miserly with the options.
    I've not learnt that much though as my Corbetts stayers hurdle bet may go up in smoke when entries for that come out.
    Fingers crossed they open their dementia riddled minds sufficiently.
    Not afraid to supplement though where necessary of course.

      Paul said he may well go for the Game Spirit v Sir Gino as well. Clearly very highly rated at home.

        Been very poor in his two runs. Just not good enough.

          Yep, PP pushed him right out for everything the other day. Writing was on the wall.

            I had him on my mind for the stayers also but tbf to connections they have told us that the only day they care about is Gold Cup day in March. I guess we’ll see soon enough

              Can't see him getting involved in a GC on his form so far this season. Back to hurdles and Stayers could work but he'd be way behind Teahupoo.

                Rather be behind Galopin going for a Gold Cup then behind Teahupoo going for a stayers I would think
                Dont blame them!!

                • 365 still daring to dangle the 16/1 on Ile Est Francais. Way out of sinc with everyone else.

                  • Energumene Blue across the boards and Jonbon being pushed out by several others.

                    Anything been said?

                        Blue across the boards isn’t necessarily money pouring in, just Bookies adjusting their margins or reacting to entries or non entries.

                          He's (Energumene) moved from 5/1 into 9/2 with a few firms but still widely available at 5/1 including one cash out firm and NRNB.

                          No big drift on Jonbon either.

                          Not exactly Barney Curley like.
