The Wealerdealer 13.20 Wincanton First time in a handicap for the Pipes after 3 'runs' in races won by decent horses. Yard in good form and only runner at the track, doesn't look a very good race and off a mark of 101 with claimer taking 7 off think this one will win today. Hood and blinkers on...

Stick, have you noticed Thundering Home in the first at Kempton? A little ew double for me!

Not sure what you're getting at with this bob, I've taken a punt at bigger prices and have put up a scenario which would suit me, it was tongue in cheek, I thought that was obvious!

Thanks for the replies everyone, my main question was around the value of the bookie taking a horse out of their antepost list but I guess that remains a mystery so I may take Nass' advice and email them. I'm going to stick my neck out and say that CF hacks up in the Deloitte and runs in the...

Which race though Bob? I know we had this conversation the other night but I don't think it's as cut and dry as many think!

They took him out yesterday Toppy and they are the only ones without a price at the moment (excluding betfair). My question also applies in general really as there are a few horses prominent in the betting for several races but not with all bookies!

So you can't see Champagne Fever running at the festival ROTO? That's the only scenario I can see where Willie might change plans with PA but I know it's a long shot and its very much my pocket talking! Any ideas as to why Ladbrokes would take him out of the betting though?

Why have Ladbrokes taken Pont Alexandre out of their betting for the Alebert Bartlett? Now I've made no secret that I backed PA for this race a while ago and it's looking increasingly like he's going for the Neptune. What I don't understand is what do Ladbrokes get out of taking him out of...

I think the key there is 'if Willie can be believed'! On this occasion I'm hoping not and it wouldn't be the first time. I do agree though if PA goes the Neptune route it would be an exciting race, and one that he would win, just not as easily as he'd win the 3 miler! Not much longer to wait now...

I think I need to clarify where I'm coming from with this. I'm not so interested in CF as a betting proposition but I have backed Pont Alexandre previously for the Albert Bartlett and am trying to establish if I've definitely done my money. According to the exchanges PA goes for the Neptune and...

So if Champagne Fever does win the Deloitte which race do you think he will go for?

Do you still think that will be the case if Champagne Fever wins the Deloitte?

Great call Stick, I just need to learn to ask you before I back the horse next time <doh>

Well that's a pint I owe you ROTO, thanks for your advice as always, you were spot on and he won well. As well as a single I had him in an ew double with Planetoid - what might have been!
