Good Luck

 

I have for the last day:

Triumph
Quilixios 25/1 e/w

County
Eclair De Beaufeu 25/1 e/w

Albert Bartlett
Streets Of Doyen 33/1 e/w (Holymacapony 16/1 e/w NR)

Gold Cup
Minella Indo 14/1 e/w

Hunters' Chase
Latenightpass 20/1 e/w (Highway Jewel 40/1 e/w NR)

Mares Chase
Elimay 10/1 win only

Martin Pipe
Gentleman De Mee 14/1 e/w

Good luck all.

 

Could be some big prices winning today, Nicholls looks like he has some good chances to me.
ABP for the 3 in row.

 

Latenightpass I assume because of the Highway Jewel formline! I think both LATENIGHTPASS 25/1 and SALVATORE 40/1 represent very good point form and both are capable of running very big races tomorrow.

 

That's right. If I was so confident in Highway Jewel (her absence is what has hurt me the most this year, even more than Thyme Hill's last minute absence and the bets I've lost), now I have to be confident in the horse that beat her even though if the race was twenty lengths longer the mare would have won. Anyway, to be honest, I think the likely winner will be Bob And Co.

And in general, watch out for going, I think a lot of horses that are doing well on Soft-Heavy will suffer tomorrow. I hope Quilixios will not be one of them, on the contrary Steets Of Doyen will do very well.

 

Triumph
ZANHIYR surely has the form edge on the Cheveley horse and it would take a leap of faith to back the King horse against those two.
County
GANAPATHI looks very leniently treated dropping back in trip in what looks a mediocre renewal.
Albert Bartlett
TORYGRAPH is on a steep upward curve and can provide Ireland with another winner.
Would love to see ALAPHILIPPE and THE COB run big races. Both lovely horses that I hope have big futures.
Gold Cup
ROYALE PAGAILLE is another on a rapid upward curve. He is on the drift due to the quickening ground but we have never seen him on good ground, he could be just as good ar maybe even better.
Foxhunter
BOB AND CO is the form horse for me but as I mentioned earlier on the thread the two British pointers LATENIGHTPASS and SALVATORE could both get in the mix at fancy prices.
Mares Chase
MAGIC OF LIGHT just because I love her.
Pipe
He wont get in they said but there he is at the bottom of the weights. LANGER DAN can follow up last Saturdays Imperial Cup success provided his stamina lasts out the extra half mile. I backed GENTELEMAN DE MEE at bigger prices in ante post multiples but a place for him would be ok for me.

Have a great last day everyone.

 

Skybet go 8 places in the County hurdle.

 

In RP it says only five, Oddschecker eight. I'm only good for four with EDB.

 

Definitely 8 on website.

 

is it just me or is the line up for Gold Cup day (apart from the main race) really poor ?

 

Going to follow Simon Torrens tommorow is fast becoming a jp go to man .
1.55 Drop the Anchor
2.30 Streets of Doyen
4.50 Gentlemen de mee

 

I will go for Tritonic in the Triumph, flat speed in drying ground.
Ganapathi for Mullins, I have Eclair De Beaufeu AP as well at 14s who runs off 10lb lower over hurdles.
Threeunderthrufive I have AP 14s he will do for me,
APT or ABP i keep changing my mind, the drying ground ight get me to go APT. Rachael or the 3 in a row will be great either way.
Cant see past the front two in the market, Billaway or Bob And Co
Elimay will win.
Finally Langer Dan sneaks in and can finish off the week for me.

 

Evening all.

Shame Skybet weren't going eight places in the Coral Cup with my Dan Le Vent at 80,s!

I'm going to have to have another outside dig in the County with Wolf Prince. Running off 140 which looks steep and tbh would have liked to have had a claimer declared to steer him rather than a jock returning from injury. However,Irish runners look well handicapped and he has some decent collateral form.

100/1 with 6 places offered by 365 and 66's with SB paying 8..

 

Do jockeys with short legs get unseated more?..Yes is the conclusion i've come to.

Rachel got unseated twice yesterday for no good reason. Millie Wannacott falls off them if a twig is touched (today included:the unseat from Shantou Village at Newbury recently was shocking). Lucy Alexander made it an art form. Luke Dempsey is another short arse evacuation specialist. All probably fall short of the human champagne cork himself, Willie Twiston Davies. He sensibly called time on his saddle days after bouts of altitude sickness. His legs were so small that if he possessed an avergely sized member he would make a reasonably functional frame for a Bunsen Burner.

Thoughts?

 

And now, the ones you have all been waiting for.

Triumph Hurdle. I think the drying ground will bring out the best in Tritonic and he may have too much speed for the fav

County Handicap Hurdle. This looks like a race for an outsider and I'm keen on the chances of Global Citizen at 80/1. 4th to Put The Kettle on here last year on soft ground and has good form with "good" in the going

Albert Bartlett. Here I like Streets of Doyen at 7/1. C&D winner on gs and prior to that 3 wins on the trot on good. Flopped last time out on soft after 127 days break. Tough as they come. Beat Flooring Porter in October

Gold Cup. I think NH should have Santini spot on for this and get his revenge for an unlucky defeat last year. 11/1 looks generous

Hunters' Chase. Tempted to pass on this one (It Came To Pass or Latenightpass). I'll settle for the bigger price with Bridget riding

Mares' Chase. Has to be Elimay based on 2nd to Allaho? But at odds on I'll look to Magic Of Light at 16s

Martin Pipe. Langer Dan looks thrown in but all his good form is over 2m. I'm taking a chance on Leoncavallo at 25/1. Won in very fast time at Stratford, has some decent flat form and nicely bred.

And there you have it. A list of horses to avoid

 

tongue in cheek , but these are top notch riders , they would never ride pro if they were as unstable as you suggest , rachel is fearless , also one of the best if not the best riding atm , to say she falls off for no apparent reason is a bit far fetched , now if you were to name some of the clowns of the game , like Maxwell or luke harvey , that would be a different matter ..........

 

Morning

Festival each way bets

1.55-Fifty Ball @ 14-1...7 places
2.30-Threeunderthrufive @ 10-1...4 places
3.40-Latenightpass @ 25-1...4 places

 

Can Champ become the one or will he be Chump ?

 

You definitely could be onto something regarding that Dexter, but Rachel Blackmore is definitely well above average height for a woman, she's taller than most of the men and when I stood near her at a meeting before, she was not that far under my nose and I'm 6ft 1".

 

All that makes me think that old Dickie J must be about 2 foot tall.

Only multiple running into today is on Zanahiyr. That would make my day, but as it’s gold cup day I’m not going mad on anything.

Only other antepost token is on Red Indian in the former Foxhunters, but I think the ground has gone for him. Guess we will see if that’s the case later.

have a good day, and remember if you are up then stay up and if you are down you probably should stop betting.

edit- actually I lie I’ve also got a bet running onto Elimay at 2s but her price now is absolutely bonkers.
