    Movewiththetimes 40/1 will do for me, done a few small value multiples with the odd NR within that.

    I think between the second week in December and nrnb I backed one horse. Thought I was in a nice postion then but it went disastrously from there. Look if Death Duty wins I'll be in profit but I would have hoped i would be in a better position.

    It's not a positive Florida-I'm just putting up what I backed and mentioned earlier on in the thread, showing the pros and cons of ante post betting!

    Folks which race is Tombstone going for? I had a lumpy bet on the County Hurdle based on Elliott's comments at a preview but now I see he's favourite for the Coral Cup.

    Didnt know where to put this post but here will do... Just watching last years highlights as a prelude to next week and i have to say watching Sprinter Sacre win the Queen Mother has got to be one of the greatest race comebacks ever...!! What a race, story, training effort but ultimately horse...!!!

    Oh Cue Card...!! Thinking back the 'fall" cost me a small fortune but i still think he would have won regardless of him carrying my money.... I know its the past but please tell me you knew the winner from just before they were 3 out...??

    Defo man, had Cossack for 2,500 or cue card for 7,000 was a big acca superb story, sprinter sacre, cue card, and one other one might have been thistlecrack.

    Cue Card will get compensation this year though, everything has pretty much fallen into place for him too, shame we won't get to see him put Thistlecrack in his place
