Friday 25th January Daily Thread

I agree, got on at 13.0 last week after reading Nicholls' views on the Betfair blog.

 

Fairly keen on Fair Trade in the next. Certainly not betting in this rubbish but if I was going to punt in it i'd be each way on that fella.

 

Bollocks

Should have backed him.

How good does the Poet form look now?

 

if you ignore Poet it looks good

 

BB I'd highly recommend not attempting to translate Jumpers bumpers form across to hurdles! Will only end badly!

 

Thinking more about Veloce. That win just adds another little angle.

 

I think they have plotted that thing up, bang on some headgear and it will be a different beast.

 

Maybe.

 

Knew the fav would get turned over - chose the wrong horse.

 

Its Only Business 10/1

 

Pearl Swan Champion Hurdle

 

Some quality shouts today guys I only had a score on sticks and stopped there as skint but good luck to all still having a bet be lucky

 

Surely you can't take anything from a ridiculous Bumpers Jumpers contest with regards Pearl Swan Boris. Got done by a horse who was good enough to run in the Guineas on his first start for 10 months. I thought it was a lovely pipe opener.

 

Maybe not, just think if he was the Champion Hurdle winner he would be beating Fair Trade anywhere on anything 6 weeks before the festival. Not for me.

What happened to Peddlers Cross there? Mcguire should have went sooner, looked all over Sam Winner but lacked a change of pace, hardly surprising, dont think that should have been beaten there.

 

My thoughts exactly boris, poor ride

 

Peddlers Cross was switched instead of going for the cut off but looked to be beaten fair and square and the winner was extending his advantage close home.

 

Good call Oddy.

Impressive turn of foot from Polar Venture who could be much be better than this.
