Will Paddy Power offer the W/O fav markets in shop for the Kempton Races? Christmas Hurdle in particular?

I'd assume so. Just did sgt reckless but probably should have done a forecast with ladbrokes. No idea how to calculate forecasts???

I've layed Faugheen, think there's a couple to trouble him tomorrow and feel he's too short.

Faugheen won last race out of condition. I would expect him to win handily. The value in this race is who will follow him home. Luckily I took the 20's PP had on offer today on AP's mount Purple Bay.

Decent ground on a sharpish flat track is exactly what Faugheen doesn't want so for me there's no value in him at 2/5. He may win well but it will be through his pure class as conditions are definitely in Irving's favour.

Punchestown last year was arguably his best performance. That was on good to yielding ground over a sharpish two mile hurdle track.

Plenty of rain this morning at Leopardstown, still coming down too but not as heavy. I'd expect it to cut up after a few races especially if it continues

Missie Ella second last at limerick

...Horse running today is of interest to people here...Missie Ella in the 3:15 Limerick...It was mentioned here about a month ago for a plot last Saturday but was pulled...It looks like it might be toady, price gone from 20/1 -14/, as well as first time blinkers and first time cheek pieces and distance change...
...completely off topic, but there seems to be two different sections for horse racing and threads...is there any reason why it's split in two?...

Andalucia

good start by Mullins, should be a bumper few days for him

Backed missie ella this morning at 20s. Deloghted to see the money coming.

On Your other question. That would be an eecumenical matter!

Absolutely launched in this morning..truckin all night in the same race is being gambled off the boards which is worrying

sting60

IMO all bets on lord Windermere are lost due to the ground.treat yourself 7/1 will love the ground and is a major player.

mr.jingle

Gilgamboa very impressive

Andalucia

nicest prospect JP has in my opinion, serious performance, had the mare well stuffed

Danny Mullins and STD are the two luckiest jockeys going, for such limited ability they manage to get some nice rides,should consider film careers as stunt doubles though, as they can't seem to get from one side of the obstacle to the other without incident very often

BorneTobyWilde

Captain Swift 2.25 Wolvea
Treat yourself 2.20 Leopardstown

Gringo180

Very strange ride on way up in the air in the last race at Leopardstown:rolleyes:

BorneTobyWilde

Poor Duke 12-1 ew 3.05
Ran a couple of good races recently , can go well here.

mailburner

dont think theres anything in training to touch faugheen

Gringo180

Faugheen = Aeroplane

Andalucia

they might as well pay out on the CH now, they won't see what way Faugheen goes in March

Soft Falling Rain

Ah jesus that was ridiculous.

oPATCHo

Faugheen the machine!!!

mr.jingle

That was absolutely savage by Faugheen, stunned sitting here watching that

Gringo180

That honestly gave me goosebumps lads. Awesome.

Dr. Bre

very disappointing vautour

BorneTobyWilde

Vautour killing a lot of multiple bets there .

Soft Falling Rain

Main thing I took from today is that I should have taken what was on offer on Faugheen for the Ch before today. I'd say a lot of people are 2nd guessing themselves on here after that.

Stereomaniac

Any tips there lads? I could do with turning over a few quid today. Would love to be up in Leopardstown.

CONTIIIIIIIII

BorneTobyWilde

Dynaste full of running at end. Jockey should have had him jumping the last first.

Nulty

Some of the best jumping I've ever seen at Kempton. Impeccable.

ste2010

Missie Ella didn't jump a fence!! :-((

Literally or figuratively? Had a tenner on her and Dynaste e/w double.

Andalucia

seriously impressive from Clarcam, even allowing for the fact that he may have met the fav on an off day, but jumping is the name of the game, only a 4yr old so could be on the improve

Elliott is fast becoming the only credible danger to Mullins in terms of quality, he seems to have a lovely crew for Gigginstown - what they are doing sending horses to other trainers of half his ability is beyond me

lovely winner in the bumper also for Jones, this is a horse we will hear a lot more about

Backed Hawkes Point last year, and will be backing him again

Conti for KG

Jezki for Ryanair hurdle

115/1 treble. On! :-)

One down.....:rolleyes:

Love Cue Card! Backed him last year

Just think that Conti is a much better horse this year whereas Cue Card has a few questions to answer still. The track suits Conti more than Cue Conti, CC has better form going left handed tracks

In terms of betting, Conti's price is all but done so can understand why people are looking elsewhere for value. If I was going to take Conti on, I'd side with Dynaste

Should have done the forecast

Oscars Well.

I had a pretty decent bet on Dynaste and I don't think there's any way in hell he would've beat Siliviniaco. Absolutely tremendous performance, took on the speed horses out in front and destroyed them.

...Same boat as you,...Dynaste ran a very good race, and was a bit shocked at how good S.C was/is...It'll be hard to see S.C not win in March...

oPATCHo

Surprisingly, I will be going against Conti unless he has a run between now and March.

I still think a fresh face will win it, one that hasnt been beaten in the CGC before.... and (if they take him) I feel that Dynaste will be up there and abouts

What Irish meeting isn't

Have already had a small ante post bet on Heaney in the Paddy Power tomorrow. Plenty of cards but not too easy. French Opera seems to have found a good opportunity to get back to winning ways at Wetherby with Peter Carberry taking off another 3lbs. 6/1 looks 2 points too big.

My beloved low grade all weather racing. Indian Affair drops into a 0-55 and should go well, he went close a few times earlier in the year off higher marks. The favourite is very strong but looks plenty short, beaten fav last few runs he is expensive to follow. Worth chancing at 7/1

Nulty

Happy to see some real support for Emperor's Choice in the Welsh National tomorrow. 25s into 16s. Hoping the rain falls plenty!

Took Foxrock at 7s couple of days ago and although I liked the look of Groody Hill I think Foxrock is the obvious one and could go off shorter than 5s. I'm always tempted to go in again in these races, as I would be with the Welsh National but I'm sticking to my guns.

Bright New Dawn is contracting all the time too. Bryan Cooper is said to be very keen on his potential and dropping back to 2m will see him improve from his last efforts. It's his first start this season. Simply Ned doesn't look like he's being given enough respect. He's a young and improving animal having continued to progress since he started chasing. Nicky Richards is having a good season and it may be the trainer and jockey that keeps his price from being properly comparitive to Uxizandres.

Rock Lesnar

Groody Hill, Grand Jesture in the PP chase for me, and Monbeg Dude in the welsh national

Backstreet Moyes

Faugheen is the most impressive winner iv seen of the Christmas Hurdle my god what a beast. The beat horse in training imo.

Only thing today really surprised Vautour wasn't pulled up after that mistake.

Harry Angstrom

Uxizandre looks the business in tomorrow's Dial-a-Bet at Leopardstown.

Expected that. A 2/1 Champion Hurdle Ante Post Fav should be putting Grade 2/3 Handicap Hurdlers to the sword like he did today. With the exception of the winner it was a poor field. It was easy from him to impress today but he will meet much better in march. If he wins likes this in march then he is the best horse in training.

I'm pretty sure people were saying the opposite before the race, that it was his best opposition to date at least. They were hardly bums.

They were hardly top class grade one horses eithere. The previous running had my tent against the new one... that was a top class grade one. Maybe he is the messiah but i think until he does it in march against the new one and jeki he has proved very little yet. Wasnt the second yesterday weell beaten in the galway hurdle. Hes a class horse but the hype is great for the betting in the champion. 6 to 1 jeki is some price
