    With news on the festival going worsening by the day there have been some chaotic moves on betfair. Celestial wave was out to 25 before shortening again. A lot of the double entered horses are shortening, ungaro a massive drifter, no lay money for labelthou in the brit insurance (must be running in the stayers) etc etc etc.

    Whoever did their raindance has a lot to answer for :D

    I'd imagine there are a lot of ante-post players who backed expecting good ground feeling very nervous right about now.

    The rumours that he won't run are growing by the minute.

    I don't think he will run masterK, going by what Jono said last week.

    The prices are going to be crazy over the next few days, both going out and coming in. Celestial Wave's withdrawl has seen some horses odds drop quite dramatically in the bookies, I'm not sure if it's the same on betfair.

    I wonder how many people backed BJK for Cheltenham this year after last sesaon.

    I'm sure a lot of people will be out of pocket


    From betfair:
    Betting on: Black Jack Ketchum
    Total matched on this event: €933,776
    Betting summary - Volume: €523,685

    I think according to this over half a million euro has been placed on BJK on betfair alone, correct me if I'm wrong

    IMO he was too short to back in a single when i did my antepost bets last year but most of my accums go out the window now!!!

    BJK 8's into 4's overnight on betfair so maybe there's still hope for his supporters.

    if a bookmaker has stood bjk for wedges at 5s down antepost they are the ones who should and probably are mopping up the 8s into 5s -the result will not matter to them now -watch out for a lot of this over the coming days as bookmaker will try to adjust there liabilities pre cheltenham -dont get sucked in
