Can tell you now what that bet of the year was the market has been taken down. Bruce never adjusted their ante post champion chase betting I got on Sire de Grugy at 25/1. Max they would allow was 22.16 each way but not bad considering he is a 3/1 shot elsewhere.

Not a hope of getting paid out if he wins no offers on them using the palpable error excuse.

You cant palp on an antepost market. The 'we forgot to update the prices' excuse doesnt wash

Couldn't have him to win, myself. Maybe a place chance at best. He's been vastly overrated. Beat a finished Finian's Rainbow at Sandown last season, beaten by Kid Cassidy who was subsequently trounced other day, 7th of 7, before being all out to beat Somersby and Oiseau de Nuit. If Sprinter Sacre doesn't turn up in Queen Mother, Cue Card's connections would be crazy not to run him in it. I think Beneficent would even have the beating of SDG. No way is Cheltenham his track either.

You sure?? If enough backed it and won ive no doubt they'd find a way to get out of paying out,I dont fancy it anyways tbh but 25/1 on a 3s shot is nice.

HF to be a non runner. First time he faces opposition he ducks out.

A horse that can win first time out like he did would 99% of the time be better than this mark. Hopefully tomorrow is the day

Is there explanation what happened him in November? I see geraghty was on board then

Have had a rather barren Christmas punting wise. Hit the crossbar a couple of times but I may as well have kicked the ball into row z.

Hoping for better luck today. I'm turning to Limerick today for some angelas ashes cheer. Gone with an ew double nouveaux moulin & urbans plot horse. Now, I better get back to finishing my letter.

"Dear Santa

I was a good boy this year, but you left me feck all under the tree this year for some reason. So you owe me, big time at Limerick today...."

Do see him the odd time in Ashbourne and Ratoath and she is a cracker,always have a chat with ya nice man is geraghty was on the bus to the airport with him a while ago he gave me a few horses of Hendersons to follow this season.

Agree on Barry comes across very nice and great jockey.

Liverpool have imploded , anything that seems to good to be true usually is!

Luap

Liverpool are bottlers.

Great to see Webb up to his old tricks!

Everton finish 2013 ahead of Liverpool. Pity the clowns lost to bloody Sunderland though!

Still I've every confidence they'll still win the league :pac:

That Smith fella fairly bottled it. Tough game to make your debut in tough. Liverpools squad is a joke and I would give 5-1 on them making top 4

Say you enjoyed that SRFC, with your few yoyo s on Weidman Knockout

Weidman would have knocked him out anyway even if he didn't break his own leg. Hate they way the crowd wouldn't cheer someone who Silva could never beat.

Yep, went from he had an accident but was awake and just shocked this morning to him being critical in a coma tonight.

Always find it more shocking when something like his happens to a tough sportsman like himself!

Last few days with all the racing was hectic back to a bit of normaility tomorrow I done well to get through the last week with a small loss
