Known it for a long time and had included it in my write up for Toppys Preview for Chelts he was 3/1 for the Jewson and has been drifting for the Arkle for about a week now no joy what a bottle job QE sorry to hear that mate- SS to come in at 10s for you
Sorry Quel! Hope your SS bets lands and covers the hurt a little. Totally miffed at McCain's decision.Poor interaction with the punters and the press. If the horse is considered competent enough for the Jewson then he must be 100% fit.In that case,the the Arkle should be no problem.They simply think they can't beat SS.That is the only logical conclusion one can arrive at. Everything else emanating from their yard is frankly rubbish.
Cheers boys. I'll be a right arsehole tomorrow a work! Watch out Leeds I'm coming for you. They're a gambling yard. One of the best. They'll have been betting him for the Jewson for days if he's ready to win. If they see him as a longer term GC horse then I suppose the Jewson won't hurt that plan. He'll not be good enough to beat Boston Bob over 3m 2f though.... I've done it again haven't I?
Cheers RV. That bloody article has probably killed his price though! I'll leave it as is now. Lost enough on the Arkle for one year. I don't even like the race
I feel gutted every time I look at the race. Have fancied SS all along but bottled to take any prices ante post and sick of looking and seeing him at even money.
Nass I will be sticking 50 quid on both Al Ferof and Cue Card now. I don't really rate Cue Card and it will be the first time I have backed him but those are the only two that have any chance of worrying SS. Menorah will not be winning. Kid Cassidy is saver material if he lines up but is 20s + anyways. Great stuff having that SS insurance with PP.
RV PLEASE don't waste your money on Cue Card in the Arkle. He'll be waving the white flag from the 2nd last... EDIT: Didn't realise you were on about the PP offer so at least you'll get your money back when Sprinter wins with his head in his chest.
RV, interested to hear who you think will win the Jewson now? Personally i thought 7/2 was a cracking bet on PC
The william hill offer tomorrow is Oscar Whisky @6/1 1/4 odds to place. Will likely lay this for a lot of money, due to their early season offer of 3/1 Big Bucks to remain unbeaten this season. Don't fancy it at all myself. Can see it trying to go with the champ 2 out then fading badly after the last. Leaving the places for Dynaste and Thousand stars.
Beef I don't think he will win either tbh but still The Don I think Cristal Bonus will hack up mate . Just my opinion but I'm not convinced Peddlers Cross is running anywhere near his best form. He was poor at Aintree and has beat nothing at all over fences so far and of course got lashed by Sprinter Sacre. Can't have him even for the Jewson
