    Champion Court is really weak on the exchanges tonight. 2 euro to lay at 10.5 and 6 at 12 and the rest at 1000

    Cant believe anyone on here picks any horse other than Grand Crus for the RSA - gives weight to the philosophy of absolving the democratic right of one man one vote from society :D

    I've been to 3 preview nights and I don't remember a single person say Grand Crus would win the RSA.

    Just a couple questions to anyone that feels like answering about antepost/betting on the day -

    How much of your staking do you reckon has been done ante-post comapred to what you'll bet on the day? For example, I've pretty much most races covered on the first day already with ante-post bets but will probably stake go in on SS and HF on the day again for a few quid but only about half of what I've staked antepost on all the races. i.e. antepost bets for Tuesday is €100+ and will probably bet around €50 on the day.

    Also what's your ante-post 'portfolio' (for want of a better word) shaping up like with only a few days left? Interesting to see what sort of odds you go and how they fare out now.

    Mine at the moment looks like this:
    Al Ferof with PP @ 5/1 MB Special; HF @ 10/11; 2-3 Accums with HF @ 4/5, SS @ 5/4, Long Run @ 9/4, Scotsirish @ 5/2 and Sizing @ 5/4; Garde Champetre @ 8/1; Tiger O'Toole @ 33/1; Tullamore Dew @ 12/1; Harpsy Cord @ 20/1.

    Binocular TBP @ 1.91; Overturn TBP @ 10.0 Montbazon @ 11.5; Trifolium @ 19.0; Bobs Worth @ 6.4;.. and two fails Voler La Vedette @ 7.4 and Bog Warrior @ 22.0 for RSA.

    All NRNB bar the Betfair odds.

    * and after writing all that out, I probably should've just asked what your steal was so far in antepost betting.. bah.


    Hurricane fly at 2/1 nrnb is my best

    Also, I love when you wake up to find a horse you've backed all blue.

    Holmwood Legend was 33/1 with Boyles, mostly 25/1. Wake up this morning, few go 20/1, the rest 14/1 and 16/1. My 33/1 NRNB looks alright :cool:

    Does anyone else think Barbershop looks very good value in the Foxhunters, he is 14/1 and a couple of years ago off level weights would have beaten all of these.

    He is only ten and has won his last two races to qualify so may well have gotten some of his enthusiasm back.

    The trip is a definite question but I think the Good ground will give him every chance of getting it if there is a doubt.

    He has ran in the Gold Cup and even though he was well beaten and it was the easy side of good, if he has gained some confidence that he should be able to place or better.

    I was thinking my ante posts bets were safe and well until the ominous support for Get Me Out Of Here in the County today. Will sting badly for me if JJ deserts the Coral now.

    Betfred are 11/10 HF & 9/2 Kauto.

    Champion Hurdle is now day of the race market so R4 may apply

    What do people think about Synchronised as an outsider for the Gold Cup? Hardly the best Lexus field he beat over xmas but he did it very impressively nonetheless. He'll certainly stay the trip and good ground seemed to suit him fine the last day. A friend took some special offer 20/1 e/w the other day but has since changed his mind and offered to swap the slip for stake. I think i'll take it. Think he has a good chance of placing

    One of the best decisions I ever made. Friend is sickened :pac:

    Haven't gone mad this year

    Abergavenny - County
    Divers - Plate
    Sunnyhillboy - Kim Muir
    Realt Dubh - Ryanair
    Cinders and Ashes - Supreme
    Blackstairmountain - Arkle
    Alfie Spinner - NH Chase
    Medermit - Gold Cup

    NAPs - Divers and Sunnyhillboy

    Divers and Sunnyhillboy double is 135/1 at Boylesports BTW ;)

    Tell you what, if they hadn't watered on Wednesday night, I'd be swimming in money right now. The double didn't come off but Sunnyhillboy more than paid for the festival. Will be interested to see what mark Divers gets after that.
