Greaneteen for me here and Five O'Clock for me in the last.

dave81

Speculative small bet on Greaneteen

SAM SO NITE

same old story . should back elliott and mullins blind at this stage.

Cobden was boxed in on Greanateen. My misplaced trust in PF Nicholls has cost me a fortune.

Poor poor week by his standards. His horses were not even close at the business end.

SAM SO NITE

550 down for the week with 50 on John Joe Jr to limit the damage.

Finished 4th. He had the first 2 in the Champion Chase aswell so not the worst week. CDO was poor but he simply doesnt stay. Did he have many other big fancies?

SAM SO NITE

10 on ecco at 95
10 on cliffs of dover at 190

after all my whinging it would be typical if one of the nicholls rags came in.

upped my stake to 70 on front view.



hopefully the virus kills me before i do more damage.

There is an asterisk beside the champion chase to be fair.

Pileon is the snake in the grass. I'll split with The Bosses Oscar

Politologue says hello. His daughter rode a winner at Kempton the other night, he trained the horse. I would say he is happy enough.

He might have half an eye on Aintree. He owes punters nothing in fairness, one of the most transparent trainers in the game.

You’ll have never heard anyone screaming for a horse to scramble into the places . Fair play to him looked cooked .

i was on her . bird of prey and oleg. I'm a sucker for a nicholls horse.

No bet for me in the last but if I was to I'd be on Pileon.

I get the impression he is happy with his lot these days. He is 58 and he might just be starting to wind down a little. Owes his punters nothing. He is a difficult man to dislike. He will have a few for Aintree as well.

Front View time lads. Here put a cherry on the ante post cake.

ecco useless. last
front view found nothing.
cliffs of dover folded like hot laundry. Lost my absolute bollox this week.

Back down to earth with a bang today.
2 fallers at the last when going to win and thyme hill not getting a straight run.

Mullins based on 3rds I believe.

Willie Mullins won it on 3rd places.

Himself and Elliott had seven wins and seven seconds.


Mullins had six thirds and Elliott had four.

if you just put a tenner on their horses would you be up do you reckon?

I would think so. Mullins had 17 runners today and at sp a tenner on his winners returns 270 quid or thereabouts. First 2 days not so good but bumper was big price so you'd definitely be ahead i reckon.

WPM 58 runners. Win only bets of €10 returned €403.33 there is scope to say that you could back ew for some. He had 18 places, so there is a break even argument if you were backing ew or even a small profit.

Gordon Elliott had 42 runners ( my eyes got tired ). A tenner win only retured € 556. So he was more profitable than Willie. There is also the further argument about ew punting, he had 14 places.

Literally the first day I'll finish in profit all because I got lucky on a PP special. Likely to finish slightly down for the first time in 4 years or so.

Feel like I'm up after a lucky 150/1 yet still down Slightly

I think I benefitted from a PP Special but I don't know what it was!!

Deposited 50 notes on Tuesday and had a few small losing bets. Last 10, I did 5 e/w on Monalee and the balance afterwards read 54 e. Don't know how that could be. 1/5th the odds is 5X4=20 plus the fiver back. Dunno where they got 54 euro.......

Decent festival. Goshen fall ended up costing me 7 or 800 quid but sure there’s usually one that does it. Interesting to see how racing fares in the next few months.

dave81

A great old festival, but we all don't want to mention the war. It depends what happens in the next week. Non racing fans or even some that are certainly believe that this week was not the best pr for racing in Ireland. The UK have a different theory in how to manage and that's fine but the Irish people that travelled will get flak, rightly or wrongly is not for me to judge.

My betting is curtailed to Cheltenham these days and I might have a bet on Aintree and Punchestown.

3 winners and done by two photo finishes, but I doubled min and Concertista and won a nice chunk for a few 20 euro bets on the doubles and singles.

Wierd old week. Take care all and I look forward to blasting the aftertiming folks with furious vengeance nect year.

Tis all there yesterday. Fup know knows how to copy it across, but nobody genuinely cares. Posts 21, 24 and 30 in case anyone is extraordinarily pedantic. I've been here long enough to know the craic.

Ad of the ioses and take care

A bad day, first this week. Two places but nothing it should have been if Goshen had of won

RivetingRoger

Percy won't be winning GC anytime
That RSA win almost baffling now

Delta Work seemed a job too far for MW
Jack seems to have a handle on him

Al Boum obviously a much better horse than I have him credit for

Roll on 2021

I can, one in 67 times.

You backed a single 50/1 shot and gave out about it not coming in. Then told me “a 50/1 shot at Cheltenham isn’t a 50/1 shot”

You haven’t a clue

Gold Cup big one for me tomorrow.

EW double on Min/Al Boum Photo
EW double on Envoi Allen/Al Boum Photo
EW treble on Envoi Allen/Min/Al Boum Photo
Skybet request a bet on Envoi Allen,Min and either Lostintranslation or Al Boum Photo

Potential returns if ABP wins 297points

Then

EW singles on Lostintranslation at 25s, 16s and 7s.
EW double Clan Des Obeaux for the King George/Lostintranslation Gold Cup double
Aforementioned Skybet request a bet.

Potential returns if Lostintranslation wins 358points.

Some bloke on twitter had ew on that foxhunters horse at 300/1 yet he was 66/1 the sp and 40/1 the morning, was he ever 300/1 as you hardly see them so high these days and can never tell if it is a fake screenshot, looking at his twitter profile he seems a genuine bloke.

Foxhunters on the morning definitely had prices that high.

Think 5 horses where single figure prices, a lot of horses where 100/1+

puppieperson1

Just to let you punters know the north galway point to point was cancelled as the committee did not want to take valuable medics & ambulances away from the current pandemic in ireland. It was a moral decision not an operational one as reported on PTP.ie. A point to point behind closed doors is not worth running as the whole point of a the day is a family day out for all the local farmers and their families in thanks for their support all around.

I heard somebody else talking about a few quid at 250 so its quite likely. Betfair sp was 225 so fancy prices were there. In running could have been higher again.

Bet365 had a special with guaranteed best prices and 5 places . I backed a few of the wrong one’s . Loads at that price.
