Good punt on Pavalacini Run today even allowing for the non runners. There's one tomorrow night I think they're going to back. Will post it once I'm on

All his best form has come over course and distance, Twistsandturns is down to a good mark after some poor turf runs. He had been backed last time when a non runner here in a much better race despite being badly drawn. This is a bad race tomorrow had a chunk at 8/1

Not sure why I took so long to watch the Wire

Anyone watching the tour championship? McElroy just eagled the 16th to move within 1. Big pay day if he wins

Phenomenal from McElroy

Then fluffed a 6ft putt for $10M. Mad.

11.5million putt lipped out. He's not making it easy on himself ......

Back to the par 3 . Lot of water on this next playoff hole. I'd shxt myself on the t box :pac:

Don't watch golf often, but now I know why. Feckin' hate these gobsh!tes on course whooping and hollering.

I see some poor sap on Betfair has just bet over 400 quid on Emiliano Grillo despite the fact he's not even in the play-off and can't win :pac:

How do betfair even allow that occur

That was a big save

McElroy must have slipped more a Benjamin to screw that shot up.

Tizzard to be champion jumps trainer 50/1. Has got 14 of Potts horses including sizing granite, a 20% increase in numbers. Had 1.4 million in prize money last year and has Cue Card and Thistlecrack chasing this year and the high class Native River. Worse 50/1 shots out there

I backed it with Hills, Powers and BF were 50s too at time of posting possibly Betfred too. Not surprised there's a bit around for it

Cheers lads, got a bit of the 50s

A strong fancy tomorrow night, Athletic is down to a mark of 64 and drops into a class six, his last run in anything less than a class four was two years ago when he won a handicap by 7 lengths at Newmarket off a mark of 66 and just failed to follow up under a penalty. He has plenty of good form this year in higher class handicaps even his run two starts back at Windsor would be good enough here. I'd have backed him at 8/1, 12/1 is massive and I've had the equivalent of a 5 point bet my first in a while. Be disappointed if he didn't go close and we didn't beat SP

Straight down from class 4 to class 6 as well. I backed this at Chelmsford a few months back, got a good price the night before and it was backed into favourite, it bombed. Hopefully the step down in class and 5lb claimer gives this plenty in hand. Will be doing it straight cause I don't trust it to place. Good luck.

Trainers strike rate would make rothwell look good. The drop of two classes gives hope but trainer form is dire.

Ya fair point bumper but I don't pass too much heed when it's a small yard whose runners often go off massive prices

Please god Gigginstown send their 60 horses from Willie to Tizzard

The drop in two grades gives him his best chance in a long time, few quid on him too by the looks of things, hope he does the business

Never involved after missing the break disappointing at least I beat SP. Hopefully Teak can get a bit back Friday.
