Any tips for Betfred Gold Cup?

Fandango

Personally i would have thought Royal Auclair or Zetas River but im not that good at this.

Healio

Im going with Jack High personally.

Morgans

Am thinking of having one of my biggest bets of the year on Jack High. I think the Irish national form is rock solid, has a fantastic weight, but he is a bit of a monkey.

I'd consider Iris Bleu for a place if McCoy is on him, Jack High possibly but I'll make my final decision when the market shows a little more action.

Hi, I'm gonna be puttin a bet on the gold cup tomorrow and want some advice. Can I put a bet on for a horse to simply place i.e. not each way? Here's an example of what I mean. Oh, and is that the way I'd fill it out? Thanks.

Sandown 3.15

Inca Trail

E20 place

Just to let you know PP is doing a moneyback special:
If your horse finishes second to Kelami in this race we'll refund your losing single stake.
Kelami is the current FAV, so I think that represents a good deal.

I'll let you know tomorrow who I opt for.

Good luck

You can place horses on Betfair (and possibly other exchanges) but everywhere else all you can do is e/w. Inca Trail is currently 2.28 to be places. Therefore if you put €20 place on and it finished in the top 4 you get €45 back. A profit of €25.

Jack High is currently 20/1 on Betfair! Surely those odds will drop so I've put €4 on it. You've sold him to me lads.

Morgans

ground gone against Jack High, unless the spitting rain they are having at Sandown gets into the ground. Joly Bey is still well handicapped. There my tow against the field. With Azertyuiop fancied to win the Celebration.

Purely on form Kelami looks rock solid and is a worthy favourite. The value in the race has to be Juveigneur, I've just backed him at 20's on Betfair, he is a you improving horse who is very lightly raced, exactly the sort of profile you would want at this time of year. He has done nothing wrong in his races this year.

chump

My thoughts exactly, was reading around last night and Juveigneur should have solid place claims.

I also like Kelami at 9/2 on PP, I can't see him going higher than that, infact I hope he doesn't go higher.

So Kelami (I'm going to go EW, so if he places it's a saver, he MUST place), and Juveigneur e/w...

yeah mick fitz is on the stat this morning talking very positively about juveigneur. but i think i might go with kelami especially at 9/2. i thought he would be shorter than that this morning.

so when you place, you get different odds and the horse has to finish 1,2,3 and maybe 4?

chump

Well Kelami actually seems to be going out to 9/2 all over, if he reaches 11/2 I'll start to worry a little

They're paying 1/4 for 1,2,3 & 4... If he finishes top 4, you'll break even.

i can remember being told here and in paddy powers that when paddy power returns if your horse finishes second to in this case kelami, that it was a bad sign.

damn it anyway i've backed kelami and its the "kiss of death" when pp give money back if your horse comes second to whoever they name. :mad:

Thanks Eirebhoy.
Went in the bookies this morning before I saw your post and they told me the same thing you did.



I went for Jack High at 12/1. I think he has a very good chance of claiming if the going is soft, I dont know what it actually is like at the moment though. If he does win I'll be 810 euro the richer, come on da Jack high!!!

Oh, I like Contraband 14/1 at the 2.35 aswell.

This week they have paid out on a good few times in this instance.

chump

Well they're offering 5/1 on him now, which is very generous. The 5/1 on betfair is all gone.

I've gone for Yes Sir in the 1st and Well Chief in the second. And of course my selections in this. Hopefully something comes in.

wheres me jumpa

yeah i went for kelami got him at 5/1 too.

chump

I got Kelami 9/2, but to be honest he hasn't a hope, I've gotten 2/2 (8/1 Yes Sir, 2/1 Well Chief) so far today, no chance for Kelami in the 3rd...

I'd lay him off if I had have used betfair

Best of luck to everyone for the rest of the day...

wheres me jumpa

royal auclair down at the first

wheres me jumpa

jack high gets it

chump

Some days racing.
Fair play those who chose Jack High, mightily impressive. I had the 2nd and 3rd... would be minted this evening if Juveigneur had won it, not to worry.

Put in 10euro last weekend, up to 64.27

Not a bad return

Excellent choices lads, Well done. Had Well Cheif and Juveigneur. Good end to the English season and Im glad for Ted Walsh.

Fair play to Jack High and Cotter. I made 810 profit.

Fandango

I forgot to put my bets down on the Betfred GC. Damn it, coulda used the cash!
