An important point here about antepost each way betting. Cats you shouldn't be put off by Shergar's info as it is incorrect. If you bet antepost you get the terms offered when you put the bet on, so if it's 123 when you put the bet on you will get paid 123 regardless of number of runners on the day. I can't put links up here as my work internet won't give me access to gambling sites but i have just double-checked on my smartphone and it is very clear. I was interested because i have been thinking about the same sri putra bet as you all week.
Ches that is a very good point I am surprised at how many people don't just read the relevant rule section of the website they are betting with B365 rules are - "Ante-Post wagers are accepted on the basis all-in run or not, entered or not. Except where specifically stated otherwise, stakes are lost on an Ante-Post bet if a selection does not take part and no Tattersall's Rule 4(c) deductions are made from winning Ante-Post bets. When the same horse is taken to win two or more races in Ante-Post doubles, trebles and accumulators special reduced odds will be offered. On days when classic or other trials occur, Ante-Post betting may be suspended and new prices issued. Jockey Club Rule 121 decrees that Stewards are empowered to reduce the numbers in a race if, at the overnight declaration stage, too many have been left in for the safety of horses and jockeys. Ante-Post bets on horses compulsorily withdrawn will be void and stakes returned. Bookmakers in these circumstances are authorised to make appropriate deductions from winning bets on the race, depending on the price(s) of the withdrawn horse(s) at the time of withdrawal in accordance with Tattersalls Rule 4(c). On the 'Day of the Race Prices' Tattersalls Rule 4(c) will also apply. Ante-Post bets are settled at the Price and Place terms applicable at the time of acceptance. Should a wrong Price or Place terms be given in error we reserve the right to settle the bet at the correct Price/Place terms that were available at the time the bet was struck. Should a wager struck at a price on the day of an event couple selection(s) in that event with selection(s) in future event(s) then if the first selection(s) does not run the wager will be executed on the remaining selection(s) on the basis of all-in, run or not.

Cheers for copying that Nass, wish I had your lack of firewall. Just to add, obviously bookies are aware of this possibility so a lot are going 1/4 1,2 instead for saturday. Skybet, totesport, boylesports, coral and hills are currently going 1/5 1,2,3 and the biggest price sri putra with any of them is totesport 33. Seems a reasonable bet to me.
Joy of working from home at this minute in time! Interestingly Totesport don't have it as well defined in their rules and regs (which are a pain to find and use)
Reading back through this it does raise a smile that in 1983 Michael Dickinson having the first five home in the Gold Cup is considered one of the greatest training feats of all time yet AOB having the first three home in the Irish Derby sparks a debate of cheating and underhanded tactics. Conduit; Tartan Bearer & Ask 1-2-3 for SMS a couple of years ago was praised - not criticised. End of the day Coolmore have a breeding operation in place that produces top class horses - to say they can't run isn't for me. If they did that what's to stop them having another trainer but AOB still being the puppeteer to whoever it is? There's always a way round it.
Ches....If you have an antepost bet on Sri Putra at 33/1 1/5 123 and only 7 go to post, you will only get a 1/4 12 Go into any mainstream bookmakers and ask them
There's no need to go in. Nass has copied the bet365 rules and i have today checked the ladbrokes hills and coral rules and they are the same.
I do not recall an occasion when Aidan O’Brien had eight runners in the Derby but let us not let actual facts get in the way of a discussion. Looking specifically at comments that have been made about the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe: in recent times there has almost always been a maximum field go to post. Just like here, the French operate a balloting system based on horse ratings. If any trainer wants to run pacemakers, they have to be pretty decent animals to get in the race. Last year Aidan O’Brien had two horses in the Arc a few days before the final declarations that were obviously intended to be potential pacemakers (Dixie Music and Bright Horizon) and neither of them made the final field. On the matter of running more than one pacemaker, I seem to recall that Dick Hern ran two pacemakers for Bustino in the 1975 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes. They were a couple of mile handicappers and one took over from the other and went flat out; hence the race being run in track record time. Even the five-length third, Dahlia, broke the old record. Grundy winning was not part of the plan though!
Cats - personally I'd stick to my giuns and back Sri putra. If you don't and it comes off you'll be livid. If it doesn't then you won't be having to resort to sleeping rough (well depending on how much you gamble i suppose....) The Aidan bashing is pretty tedious - if you want to see real cheating then you need to look elsewhere......
I can't believe what im readfing and i can't decide of its pocket talk or just Irish Bashing oh of course it can't be anti-irish your all half irish i forgot to suggest that one of the most successful trainers there has ever been in both codes runs 5 horses in the big races just so he can cause the rivals traffic problems is mental. Do you lot actually read what you write and think about it. Shaem we don't have that 3 minute rule anymore
Famous I love the "I'm half Irish so I can't be anti them" mularkey. My auntie's swedish and I think they're a nation of ****s.
I remember Giants Causeway, I'm sure it was the Juddmote, and the pacemaker looks behind and moves over off the rail to allow his stablemate a clear run up the rails, whilst Kalanisi ends up being forced to go wide round the bend. Giants Causeway won by a nose. The same thing happened in the Irish Champion with the pacemaker moving off the rails to allow Giants Causeway a clear run
Have to smile when he put three up against Sea The Stars in the four horse 2009 Juddmonte...still wasn't good enough!
Flyingbolt I also remember two of the jockeys allowing Sea The Stars through a gap , could have easily closed it on him but they didn't.
No they allowed Mastercraftsman through the gap, and fortunately STS was so close to, he followed him through

Thanks for that beef. I see AOB filled the five places between 8th and 12th. Not quite Dickenson's Famous Five but still a good effort!
*rolls eyes* Whoever wins on Saturday, some people are going to be insufferable clearly ('I always knew Workforce/So You Think/O'Brien/Coolmore was overrated!' etc)
