I don't get why you're so against Mr Mole Beefy. That was a world class performance. It's not a good year.

Think you've misunderstood me Bobster. Not against him at all, read my first post in the thread, I like him. Character. Just think its madness if you'd have thought in December that he'd be single figs for the QM lol who'd a thought that, crazy!

I make it 1/500 McCoy rides 100+ winners next season

You might be right! I never expected that from AP! But despite of how dedicated and hardworking he is, maybe all those injuries he's had is the main reason why he's retiring. Some of us thought he might retire when he rode his 5000th winner!

Big Mac often described John Francome as the greatest jockey - he's wrong, AP is. There'll never be anyone else who'll be champion jockey 19 times (very likely to be 20).
 
I think Ap's missus finally put the foot down! Gona be weird not seeing him action anymore.great credit to the sport, will be missed
 
Following Ben Linfoot's value selections in the Betfair Hurdle - Chieftain's Choice and Violet Dancer both e/w
 
I think McCoy has made the right decision. He looked to have set 300 winners in a season as his last target to chase but that injury at the beginning of October put paid to that. His first novel has been released (saw it on sale at the airport the other day) so maybe he has more ambitions in that direction? One thing for sure is that we will never ee his like again. Get you money on Richard Johnson for champion jockey next season <ok>
 
Ya deserved that Oddy well done pal. Did it nicely. I had Activial so at least a small return from that minefield is ok.
 
Blood Cotil is a big price at 3/1 in the 3.40 at Naas. Having taken him on LTO I was delighted he was ridden so poorly but looking at it without rose tinted glasses, he should have won that race. If he'd have done what he should, he would be half todays price. I'm not sure if he's going to be able to brush the fav aside as that one looks very capable but i'd be keen to back horses at double their true price every day of the week.


To coin a a cricketing term, i'm seeing it like a beach ball today.

BANG BANG
 
Oddy ben linfoot is the man! I have been reading his chelts selections with interest and have already backed silver concorde in the supreme

Agree with all you said. Barry Geraghty is likely to replace him as jockey for JP McManus IMO.
 
Wonder will JP opt for the more established or will he get Mark Walsh as numero uno and see if he can handle it...
 
Well done with Violet Oddy - you were sure due one! Well done Bob with yours too <ok>

I was happy with Cheltenian - took 40's ew last night so happy days :)
 
Never heard of him <laugh>

Dollar And A Dream (IRE)12th of 13 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, soft, 25/1) 41 days ago. Yard in good form. Hood on 1st time, tongue strap on 1st time. Worth noting if subject of market support.
Good Luck <ok>

Strange betting on this race ????? Dollar & a Dream available @11/1 on Betfair while Ladcrooks go 3/1????
