    I absolutely love this horse and what Jonjo has done with it. As I already said on boards when I tipped it for the first of the two Gold cups it broke its' pelvis last season and he nursed it back to health. At that time he said he wouldn't get rid of it because it was one of his favourites in his yard. Before it won the first of the two Gold cups he was on ATR and he expressed his favourtism for it, stating he think it will be a big star - and he was certainly right! I'm not saying it will win the Gold Cup, but it will certainly run a big race. What odds is it on betfair lads? Blocked in work unfortunately.

    He's 65 to win and 9.2 to place at this min Jonesy...

    I take it he'll be taking a small few dollars of your own with him?

    Aye definitely. The horse owes me nothing as it has won me a good bit of cash, some of which will be going on it. I won't be having a big bet on a win, but I will for it to place. Will take these prices this evening seeing as it will more than likely go shorter after its prep race.

    I actually had a forecast with Exotic Dancer and Kauto in the george :D Looks a gutsy Horse alright, if Kauto does happen to hit the deck i can see The Dancer makeing the most of it, defo worth a E/W bet.

    As did I. It paid 7.40/1 or something like that. :)

    Depending on how things are for the day I might do it again. I've already backed Kauto at 5/2 since before Christmas, and I really think Exotic Dancer to place is a great bet. I took 64.0 for the win and 10.5 for the place earlier this evening.

    i would say confidently id be shocked if exotic dancer (unless ED falls) doesnt place. gr8 horse. whether it can beat kauto star is a different matter but as far as a place bet u cant beat it for value... my only concern is they are not 100% sure that the horse will stay yet, it is highly likely it will stay but they wont make a defo decision yet. the concern is not for the gold cup race as such if it runs it should stay but they might choose to go for the easy win. i will be taking the bet tho as i dont think ogden cares about money and would want to win the
    gold cup. we shall see...
