Jesus lads it's the biggest week in horse racing, the one we've all being waiting for and you guys are squabbling over who won this and who lost that. Get a grip and enjoy the festival.
Not really Beefy - I'm addicted to watching social misfits on the Jeremy Kyle show so was devastated when Supreme Arkle left the forum. Same thing isn't it
He was obviously a value play at 7/2. 19 time grade one winner. Form at the track reads 121. Had beaten the eventual winner twice this year. Yard have form lines with everything in the race. The negatives were the ground went against him. His age. I was only on for £50. If you don't think that represents value but think a horse that hasn't beaten anything of note is value at 11/4 then I think we have seen the main problem here. Your play on TNO wasn't based on value though was it? It was because you couldn't see any other winner which completely disregarded how average his jumping is.
value play at 7/2 tailed right off, no bigger fan of Hurricane Fly than me, my position should have told you everything
Bob, you will admit to yourself in the darkness of night that you, and many others it must be said, are very, very lucky that The New One was robbed of any chance today, it was patently obvious he would have hacked up if not taken out the race.
It wasn't his jumping that let him down today Bob, it was that other poor ****ers! Best horse in the race finished third and you know it. Anyway, before I get drawn into the nonsense I will scoot off. See you all back here for the National. Off to see my second most favourite horse from the Longsdon yard tomorrow, the forgotten Magnifique Etoile. Hope to meet a few of you tomorrow, Nass has my number!
A very sad day with the death of our Connor , Moving on would like to bring up the subject of bad losers , I was in Ladbrokes when a chair came flying from the fruit machine and missed an OAP by inches The guy had put all his wages in the machine and wanted his money back !!!, If one can't lose. Gracefully then you should not be gambling . Moving on I have had a word for BALLYALTON. 13.30 CHELT. Owners very Bullish will be having an interest E/W £50 NBA. Really keen on this money line treble pays around 7/2 I'm on @£300. PISTONS, SPURS, WARRIORS Good luck morra and lets hope all horses come home safe
How was stick wrong about the new one? You were badly wrong about Hurricane Fly, stick was on the right horse, when i get it wrong I take it on the chin, if I was against The New One today I would be putting my hands up.
HF wasn't tailed off. He looked awesome making up that ground but none of us know how much of an impact it made. He seemed fairly set within a couple of obstacles to me. It might have been the difference between winning and losing. It might not. I have no idea. No one does. I get why you think he'd have won and as my position was small I would have happily had TNO win when it was clear HF had no chance as I know there were stupid sums on him compared to his chance. His jumping was very sketchy throughout. It certainly wasn't aiding his chance.
The unbeatable HURRICANE FLY........I will get mine ;-) Oh sorry I forgot, its his age, you got your excuse in two weeks ago LOL
For what it's worth, my arrows for Day 2 Royal Boy 7 Faugheen 5\2 Ballycasey 6 Dell 'Arca 14 Captain Conan 5 Big Shu 5 Dawalan 8 Killutagh Vic 12 Thanks
