One G1 race with 3 in it , one being 12/1 on
The other a 5 horse G1, 3 of which are trained by Mullins, one of which is 3/1 on
 
2/5 still available with Fred Ron for the shrewdies <laugh>

Louis Vee 7/1 Chelmsford City 1.10 - Has sound claims now he has a decent draw in stall 1. Drawn in the car park LTO he missed the kick and was wide all the way beaten 2.44 lengths by the reopposing Kyllach Me who now has the poor draw. Georgia Cox (2) is in the plate today and although the horse has since gone up 2 lbs I feel he is on good terms with himself lately and if he can break well, he could upset the short priced fave. I've also backed the horse to place at 2.54 on the exchange for insurance.

Fair to say the Irish Champion is very much a case of quality over quantity with the 3 best 2milers around lining up. Will be a fascinating race, small field or not. Tactics will play a huge part. I'd expect Faugheen to lead, challenged by Nicholls very early on and a dust up will take place. Confident the Champ will reverse form, maybe Arctic Fire could even pick up second, though he'd definitely want a quicker surface.

The Irish Arkle looks woeful though <laugh> Next time Hendersons moaning about lack of opportunity for these novice chasers can some pundit have the wit to point out there was a fecking 3 runner Irish Arkle you could a had a crack at if you'd a pair a balls on ya <laugh>
 
Their afraid to take on Willie in his own back yard Beefy!Prize money on offer isn't enough apparently either!
 
Fascinating or not if Faugheen gets beat you can be sure he'll be logging in quicker than you can say 'The New One's an absolute joke all out to beat a scrubber in a complete farce of a Champion Hurdle trial' :emoticon-0105-wink:

I'd be very tempted to lay the odds on fav A Toi Phil in the 13.20 L
 
Evening all, i have ventured into the unknown and started using Bettrader. I thought that you were able to see what volume of money went where under each horse but it doesn't appear to have that on mine. If anyone uses is could they explain what the yellow odds mean? and for instance if £4k had been traded on the fav it would say £4k below its name and then whatever had been matched on the others the same?

Cheers

I wont be logging in till later, out all day tomorrow, normally id be pissed off at missing this Leopardstown card but not at all bothered about missing tomorrow, Douvan is the most boring horse in training.

Might watch the replay if one of them get beat.
 
Looking for a bit of value tomorrow..
PIRES around 20/1 could go well at too big a price in the 2.30 and BEARLY LEGAL 3.35 9/1 looks to have a great chance returning to an ideal trip and should be spot on.
