Well done Urban and Hulk!

Cheers mate. It was one that I just couldnt stick up online as it was a mistake and I had friends who had still to get on. Urban to be fair to him was the only reason I had a bruce a/c because of their arb on United last year, so I mailed him to repay the favour. Didnt hedge out because the horse was always too big a price.Happy days

Well done on the 25s lads

I had to make do with 3/1 & 10/3. Just saw I got a message on Facebook about 12.20 saying bet365 were 4/1. I'd have gone in again had I seen it

Actually have changed my mind on the thread title.

In honour of Richard Lawlor can we rename it.

Hi lads, not sure where to post...wonder could anyone give some insight - before on the racing post site, when reading a race card, you could 'x' some horses from the card eg mark selections off that didn't fit some trends. Anyone remember this?? Can you do this on any other site?

Spent the day and night on the sauce. Ropey this morning. Very ropey.

Lads noob question dunno if anyone will know the answer. Logged into betfair and there was a promo if you have never played an arcade game, bet 10 euro on it and get a 20 euro bet for the sportsbook. Won 12.50 on Deal or no Deal from the bet, does anyone know do I have to cash out or something or can I just close the deal or no deal screen?


Never mind got it

BQQ

I do deal or no deal for all those free game bets too
phone rings... DEAL!

On Paddy power you just close it. Acc is updated.
I'd imagine it's the same

This just came to me if Sprinter was fit. More than likely Barry would be waiting on Bob tomorrow for a clean sweep of the championship races. Some feat.
Has anyone ever done it? Or even got 3?

BQQ

Ruby got 3 in 2009.

All bar the champion hurdle. And he was 2nd in that.

Anyone worried that Bob's Worths freely available at 9/4 on betfair?

Anthony Bromley said he hadn't been working well until a few weeks ago. Think Declan Phelan said similar

BOBS WORTH had been disappointing Nicky Henderson in his work, prior to a week ago, but his last two pieces of exercise have been very encouraging, according to Anthony Bromley.

Colonel Sanders

While I'm delighted with my 50/1 Last Instalment is he actually a bit under priced at 9/1?

Hopefully T43 runs a nice national trial, surprised they're running over 3m 2 just 22 days before Aintree

Plinth running? Good lord im hungover

The lad I was in Cheltenham with recorded the first two days. Said you can clearly see us perv on Rebecca Curtis with binoculars after the RSA.

Oh the shame :pac:

Running. He's 18 or 19 on Betfair

At least I'll get a run, not exactly counting the cash however

Geraghty said at a preview last week that Bobs Worth had worked the best he ever had the previous Thursday.

God, I wish I was American, I would eat all the tastiest food and wait until I was 600lbs, then have a cry on telly, get a free gastric band operation and then start eating again.

I drank all day at the track. 12 pints or so. Worthingtons is bland. But carling is much worse. I will feel this tomorrow. Flying home after the foxhunters. I am butchered.

Carling is sickening muck

Had the misfortune of trying Crean's on the Aer Lingus flight over. God it's p!ssy sh!te. Simple can't drink lager any more, tasteless puke compared to a decent craft stout or IPA.

Was drinking greens ipa in the local pubs here near the track, not bad. Overloaded on London pride last night, so much drinking, I will be rattled this weekend.

Race fell apart a bit today but Hidden Cyclone really seems to have ironed out his jumping. Ran an absolute blinder in the Ryanair. I thought after the 3rd last he'd win

Hadn't a penny on it, tried get a few quid matched at huge prices ante post on Betfair but no joy. Wouldn't been win only in any case.

Imhof Tank

Id say its only a matter of time before they bag the grade 1 win with Hidden Cyclone ..............when that happens will certain people be rethinking their highly critical comments regarding the trainer?

carmanard

Just realised I haven't posted in here since the old thread (don't mention the war for fear of a retrospective ban!!) was closed and since they added boards to the blocked list at work! Good to see the craic is still going strong..

I'm waiting on Briar Hill and Bobs Worth for about 3k. :pac: So they won't be winning. :mad:

He's actually quite strong. I think he's plenty short now. What's the ground like?

Hoping he can pay for the summer holidays anyhow

"We've walked the course. The ground is good to yielding and we're happy to run," said trainer Philip Fenton. "The horse is in great form."

I think he's still a decent ew price @ 7/1 (race lacks quality depth) but to be honest I think they've decided to take a small risk with the ground given he's so good. He's an absolute monster imo and good enough to beat the brilliant Bobs Worth if he doesn't go wrong during race.

He'll need to be at least 5/6 lengths ahead of Bobs coming up the hill but I think his bold jumping could ensure that.

carmanard

Ground must be on the slightly soft side of good if they're running last instalment, only worry would be that it'll dry up as the day goes along but not having a chase on it until the GC should preserve a bit of the moisture in it.. I was tempted to back him but I just keep thinking of pandorama and how the connections made sh1te of him by running him on ground that was too quick for his liking... Gave up trying to find something that could beat bobs worth and just unloaded at 6/4 instead, will definitely be unloading more if he wins

If he jumps like he can and Bobs Worth runs like last year that may well be how it pans out.

I've backed Bob but it would be awesome if LI won- definite legendary status.
