Mr H sends out 5 today, all with chances. Surely not a 5 timer on the cards???

And none currently bigger than 5/2 (with 2 odds-on). I’d probably veer on the side on conservatism and say he’ll have 3 but that may look silly at the end of the day as only a fool underestimates Mr Henderson.

Those bookie chappies would certainly be in for a caning if a 5 timer is achieved as I’m sure there are thousands of accumulators doing the rounds on his runners today.

as potentially it could have ruined his handicap mark for Newbury’s ultra, ultra , ultra valuble ‘Betfair Hurdle’ in February (note ‘Daddy’ Martin is keeping Moon Racer well away from a racecourse right now for this very reason)

Moon Racers only ran twice over hurdles so wouldn't be eligible for a handicap, unless I'm mistaken?

He won so can be assessed

Is perched on 141. I’m sure ‘Daddy’ Martin has had many a sly grin at this figure since it was published…

Ah ok, I incorrectly thought they needed to run 3 times regardless of placing

(Proof again that every forum needs a briefcase on board )

Any horse finishing in the first three get a handicap mark. That is why you often see winners of one going handicapping as they are no longer maidens and are penalised in novices.

Should be a quick double for a Mr B Geraghty in the 1.00 / 1.30 tomorrow at Plumpton - Theinval / No Comment

Well done!

 

[Sir Barney Chuckles]

Not going great for old Saint Nick so far today. With one runner left he's 1/4.

Rare punting foray for me to Ffos Las where the forum's favourite jockey Davey Russell gets the leg up on a pair of beasts for Mr Dai Walters. In fact I think the pair could well be sharing a whisky or two tomorrow evening

1.15 Ffos Las Jameson 15/8
1.45 Ffos Las West Wizard 5/2

The double comes in at just over 9/1.

Second and a first, SBC's main man letting everyone down! Disappointed with a capital D!

I see that the 2.40 at Wolverhampton was won by Hard to Handel. Did anyone Bach it?

That news would have been sweet music to their ears if they did

Jim Best given 6 months after. Wonder will he bother returning at all. A straighter bat you will not find.
