Still have today

I'm sure people more learned than me in flat matters will correct me but I'd a small bet on Toormore at 9/1

Champion European juvenile, won his reappearance and trip won't be a problem. Kingman obviously worthy of the highest respect but I think Australia is a false price and probably more a Derby horse

What am I missing?

Nothing. Fancy him too for reasons you've mentioned. Very little hype about him and not flashy but lots in his favour, form n book, battles well.

Yeah had this discussion with a friend earlier who had a big bet on Kingman. Told him he is underpriced but at least is coming back to his true price. Toormore proven over c&d. Think it's a mixture of the hype, owners and potential. Toormore isn't particularly flashy but has the form in the book. People can be very easily sucked into potential over form, something I'd be tread very cautiously.

Urban you bastard, I blame you for this hangover.

Nothing. Australia taking out a fifth of the market is hilarious.

FWIW betting the top 5 to the same overround as the market at present I'd bet something like:

Kingman 21/20
Toormore 11/2
Australia 8/1
War Command 14/1
Kingston Hill 18/1

I've bet accordingly

Think the bookies have got some prices wrong this upcoming weekend.

West Ham should not be as big as 3/1 at home.

Villa are very good value at 5/4.

I thought Cardiff may be bigger than 3/1 but could be worth a punt.

Everton at 7/2 are savagely overpriced. They have won this fixture for the last four consecutive seasons.

Hammers and Villa double at 8/1 with a separate treble including Everton at about 39/1.

Your 3/1 on the Hammers looks safe. Good spot Tom

Yeah. Struggling to stay awake to watch it.

No hope of catching the 3pm games live as Mary Jane is encouraging me to go to bed.

But all good so far.

Also think Stoke will win.

Anyone having a go at the scoop6 tomorrow?

I've just worked out my four figure perm has a 0.62% chance of winning... :cool:

Got through the first leg anyway...

Roscommon, lol

kiers47 · 03-05-2014 03:45PM

Just 1 ticket left in the scoop6. I'd say there is some fairly burnt fingers after that 40/1 shot knocked all bar 13 out. Would be a ridiculous jackpot next week if it's not one.

UrbanSea · 03-05-2014 04:18PM

With so many on Sole Power, is he a legend of the forum?

Think Taurus Twins goes without saying

Johner · 03-05-2014 04:20PM

You can add Kingman to the list of horses that have to lick the back of my sack.

Johner · 03-05-2014 04:32PM

Bad hangover and lost a shit load. Bad day.

Got a number of place lines up in the Scoop6 for an overall profit.

Too right. Can throw Adebayor up there too while you're at it!

Roscommon. Oh the lolz

Don't say I didn't tell ya's. The 21s would beat most senior teams.

In fairness, Roscommon shat themselves in the first half and Dublin took full advantage. Beat most senior teams though? Don't lose the run of yourself Slattsy! :pac:

A plate of BBQ chicken wings, 1/2 pound of Angus beef burger and chips, washed down with 2 strawberry milkshakes. Hangover food tastes so good. But I am now flaked, stretched out on the couch. No out for me tonight. Must digest this food.

That's not your first time doing that, is it bumper?

No it's not. Had one a couple months back. Must have been a 3000 calorie meal but hey, it's not often I pig out. Had a lot of sauce last night. And the only cure for that is a big feed served up with ice cold strawberry milkshakes. Food of the gods. Needed a pick me up after kingman gave me a firm kick in the goolies this afternoon

2 weeks ago Liverpool were 1/5 favs for the title. Now Man City are cruising towards the title.
