FOUR horses in the care of trainer William Murphy and due to run at Wolverhampton this evening have come in for sustained across-the-board support with bookmakers this morning.

All of the quartet have been absent for more than two years and will be the first Flat runners that Naas-based Murphy has had in Britain or Ireland since 2009.

The maiden Musical Express is as short as 3-1 (from 16) for the 6.25. Ros Cuire, another maiden, is 4-1 (from 20) for the 8.00, Tumblecloud, off since 2009, is 4-1 (from 16) for the 8.30 while Toberogan is 3-1 (from 20) for the 9.00.

David Williams of Ladbrokes said: "It's not the first time we've seen a major gamble lined up at a meeting that happens when all eyes are supposed to be elsewhere.

"It has the look of 'when the cats are away the mice will play' but we cottoned on quickly enough and got out of the way."

The move has left a number of firms going SP only about the four races in question.

Martin Lane has been booked to ride all four of the horses who run in the colours of John Murphy.

Odds are at least one gets stuffed, if you fancy any other horse in the race at least you'll get a nice price

handsomecake

its skulduggery of the highest order

BQQ

Some of them look very poor animals tbh.
Wouldn't mind a small each way interest at fancy prices, but woudn't touch them now.

How are they chancers? Not like they've been non trying all season.

Just an old fashioned gamble - best of luck to them.

If any part of it comes off it will have been an amazing training performance as much as anything

they only need one of them to win the prices they got this morning.

Nothing illegal about it, plenty of trainers do it. I wouldn't agree with it but nobody said too much when Barney Curley used to do it.

+1

Sounds like a well hatched plot rather than skull duggery

UrbanSea

Sorry I posted that before I saw what horses they are.


If they're off for ages that's fine, thought they might be those who are 000000 running last few months

cson

Fair play to them if they land any of those, it'd be some touch. Granted they'll have been tuning up the horses for these races but if any of the them do win then its still a hell of a training performance after 2 years off the track.

WHIP IT!

No different whatsoever to "keeping" one for Cheltenham... just cos it's a lowly meeting at Wolverhampton makes no difference... Willie Mullins would do this as quick as Willy Murphy!

Johner

VC have two of them priced up at 6/4 and the other 2 SP only.

Johner

The first one there wouldn't run out of your way.

Howjoe1

it was all a decoy for the 50/1 winner:D

Ladbrokes probably had a 50p ew accum and panicked!


still it will be interesting to see if one of them can win.

Motivator

First one was a flop. Not surprising really, its very very hard to get a horse right for a flat race, especially as its been off for 2 years! It seems to be a bit easier for a horse to be plotted for a race over jumps as its easier to get a "stale" horse settled over say 2.5 miles than it is to get a horse back in the groove over say a mile on the flat. I hope he gets at least 1 winner tonight!

The 1st one coming last could be plan B.

Johner

I backed the one at 8.00.

Johner

And now he is 8/1.

ros cuire looks like it has no chance on all know form 17 wins 16unplaced
same could have been said about musical express (7runs 7unplaced and last tonite) with prices ranging from
6/4 to 4/1 on oddchecker/roscuire
you'd want your head examined to follow this one blindly
tumblecloud looks to have zero chance either 7wins 7 unplaced

that leaves togerogan who has at least won a race

surely one of them will win
i'd love to be a layer at the prices quoted though

the man's a trainer not a magician
next two well down the field for sure
and its 8s now, should be 20s+

ros cuire Timeform says: Long-standing maiden who made little impact in AW handicaps when last seen in 2010. Returns tongue tied
if that was Returns with four new legs I'd back it

8s into 5s lol

michaels nook is who im on

handsomecake

napalm the place and start again

Johner

It was 6/4 on VC, then opened at 3/1, then out to 8/1 and now back into 5/1. Haha.

Johner

Your man must have money on them all to be tailed off.

handsomecake

ah **** off

MoscowFlyer

This is hilarious

handsomecake

what the **** is going on.did they pull the gamble when they heard my few quid was down.

wheres ****ing beadle

Johner

Prince of Fire in the next at Dundalk at 5/1. Never runs a bad race at Dundalk 3 wins out of 5 runs and 2 places. Should run a good race if its ready to go after a break.

Hulk Hands

Always amazes me when people are surprised when a gamble loses. If a horse gets backed from 50/1 into 3/1, the bookies are still offering 3/1. So they are still saying it'll lose 75% of the time. The vast majority of gambles are simply backing horses when they are overpriced, not sure fire winners. Of course you then have the mugs who all pile in when the value is long gone

handsomecake

there is losing and there is folding like hot laundry. useless ****

MoscowFlyer

Prince of Fashion for me in the next at Dundalk

I'd say the layers are getting their money back after today, as someone has already said - this is hillarious.
