Wait I found the run from today

Ever see a result and feel sick, how in the name of God did Rekindling go off 7/1 after finishing behind Capri first time out (fancy him for the derby)

Peintre Celebre

Also scooping a big price at 25s e w 4.50 gowran

Peintre Celebre

I'd rather listen to my father spank my mother than listen to joe brolly

Fenton missed 2 one-on-one goal chances today (would have sealed it) but had a decent game otherwise and kicked a point.

Now 6/4 clear favourite for POTY. Here's hoping he delivers in replay.

Shanee.

Found one in the 6 furlong handicap at the curragh next Thursday. Only 7 days to go

Was it declared PC?

No entered at Dundalk but not over its optimum trip I think. Deeds not words might be worth a few quid e/w tomorrow but not a big stake

Peintre Celebre

Good punt on Pavalacini Run today even allowing for the non runners. There's one tomorrow night I think they're going to back. Will post it once I'm on

Peintre Celebre

All his best form has come over course and distance, Twistsandturns is down to a good mark after some poor turf runs. He had been backed last time when a non runner here in a much better race despite being badly drawn. This is a bad race tomorrow had a chunk at 8/1

Peintre Celebre

Not sure why I took so long to watch the Wire

BumperD

Anyone watching the tour championship? McElroy just eagled the 16th to move within 1. Big pay day if he wins

BumperD

Phenomenal from McElroy

Then fluffed a 6ft putt for $10M. Mad.

BumperD

11.5million putt lipped out. He's not making it easy on himself ......

BumperD

Back to the par 3 . Lot of water on this next playoff hole. I'd shxt myself on the t box :pac:

Francie Barrett

Don't watch golf often, but now I know why. Feckin' hate these gobsh!tes on course whooping and hollering.

Francie Barrett

I see some poor sap on Betfair has just bet over 400 quid on Emiliano Grillo despite the fact he's not even in the play-off and can't win :pac:

BumperD

How do betfair even allow that occur

BumperD

That was a big save

BumperD

McElroy must have slipped more a Benjamin to screw that shot up.

Tizzard to be champion jumps trainer 50/1. Has got 14 of Potts horses including sizing granite, a 20% increase in numbers. Had 1.4 million in prize money last year and has Cue Card and Thistlecrack chasing this year and the high class Native River. Worse 50/1 shots out there

krustydoyle

Now the Tizzards wouldn't of been top of my guest list for the Potts.. Does this mean Burke will be traveling back and forth now too??

I backed it with Hills, Powers and BF were 50s too at time of posting possibly Betfred too. Not surprised there's a bit around for it

jimjamcos

Cheers lads, got a bit of the 50s

A strong fancy tomorrow night, Athletic is down to a mark of 64 and drops into a class six, his last run in anything less than a class four was two years ago when he won a handicap by 7 lengths at Newmarket off a mark of 66 and just failed to follow up under a penalty. He has plenty of good form this year in higher class handicaps even his run two starts back at Windsor would be good enough here. I'd have backed him at 8/1, 12/1 is massive and I've had the equivalent of a 5 point bet my first in a while. Be disappointed if he didn't go close and we didn't beat SP

Straight down from class 4 to class 6 as well. I backed this at Chelmsford a few months back, got a good price the night before and it was backed into favourite, it bombed. Hopefully the step down in class and 5lb claimer gives this plenty in hand. Will be doing it straight cause I don't trust it to place. Good luck.

BumperD

Trainers strike rate would make rothwell look good. The drop of two classes gives hope but trainer form is dire.

Peintre Celebre

Ya fair point bumper but I don't pass too much heed when it's a small yard whose runners often go off massive prices

Peintre Celebre

Please god Gigginstown send their 60 horses from Willie to Tizzard

BumperD

The drop in two grades gives him his best chance in a long time, few quid on him too by the looks of things, hope he does the business

Peintre Celebre

Never involved after missing the break disappointing at least I beat SP. Hopefully Teak can get a bit back Friday.

BumperD

Clonmel on tomorrow. This is a sure sign the nh season has begun :pac:

Copper_pipe

I see on Facebook that Gordon Elliot is looking for more staff!

He must have got a delivery of horses

Beef or Salmon

Was looking at the entries for Gowran Saturday, Smashing trained by Mouse Morris, will he be joining the Tizzards?

No.. Mouse got him a few weeks ago so the horse is staying there

Anyone that can get on with BF sportsbook they are 16s about Koing Hall which is twice the price of most firms.

Serious value.

Whats with the proliferation of mouth pieces in bookie shops these days!?. Usually the emaciated sweat shirt wearing variety. No matter who they back the jockey cant do any right of course. I'm talking full bore cursing and shouting during watching a race. The obligatory docket thrown at the screen with rage at the end. Always happened to a degree but I've never known it to be as consistent in shops as it is now.

Shops now r full of degenerates. Backing everything that moves for small stakes. Bookies seem to be happy as 0 of these will ever be winning punters. Awful places to be now. When 1 go in its in and out no delay

Was in a Lads shop in Limerick last week.

A Chinese lad had 100 e/w on a. 20/1 shot on the "racing" at Frankel Park.

Came 2nd

Peintre Celebre

You know a lot of times people backing a 20/1 shot in that (despite having no form to base their bet on) are getting a fairer deal than backing a horse at 20/1. That one on the computer is a true 20/1 shot (maybe with a small over round). The fella laughing at him standing next to him could be backing a 20/1 shot that's about 40 on BF (I could be wrong I'm assuming the over rounds on the computers aren't that much but could be about 200%)

Yeah i agree, i dont be in shops as much anymore so i was thinking for a minute maybe i was immune when i was in more often but yeah they seem teeming with degens.

mick malones mauser

It amazes me how people hang around those bookies shops all day every day and have never been to a race track
I often go to my local bookies on a Saturday morning to do a few bets.
If I happen to say "I am heading to punchestown/fairyhouse/leopardstown etc today" I usually get told I must be mad as " irish racing is corrupt" then they make a dash for the counter to back a cartoon dog.

Madness !!!

Sole Power looks very big at 15/2 with hills for the race at ascot tomorrow. 3 pts win for me.

The price last night was nuts. I could only get 1.25 pts on. I do wonder at times what their traders are on.
