I don't know Rog. Hendo is right in that he'll come on massively for that. Its far from a vintage renewal either with big questions about many runners, now that trainers want to send their top novice hurdlers chasing these days.
He's still 10yo with relatively little milage on the clock. 20/1 now so 4/1 to get 3rd is a tasty price.

NOT A CENT OF OL ROG'S MONEY WILL HE SEE!

At the price's i think id prefer him than anything else in the race. 20/1 nrnb seems a great price. And as had been said before CH form means far more than anything. I think i found my 4th horse for the NRNB Lucky 15

Cmon, spill the beans.

He definitely looked like he needed the run, similar to Saldier at a similar price for March. Probably rather have my few bob on buveur d'air as he's been there and done it.

longshotvalue · 23-01-2021 10:55pm

Ill be spilling the beans, i've been backing the same horse every day for the last 2 weeks (paddy limit your bet nrnb, but let me have the same bet every day)

I'm hoping for another firm to go nrnb so lads can get on.

I also like Storyteller, and Darver's Star.

Coneygree · 23-01-2021 11:47pm

At the price Saldier is a much better punt and dare I say it, I'd sooner back Goshen for March than BDA....but I've backed Goshen already so maybe I'm just an idiot.

Hmm. Sounds like pure bollix man. Unless you're having hundreds on said horse in total?
You've said before you're a small play man.. tenners and twenties etc.

The Mig · 24-01-2021 12:34am

Backed saldier the other day @25s

Why would he lie? I'm a very small gambler, odd big bet here and there and my ante post bets have got limited previously, only with bet365 but.

I don't know?
The facts:
There's a limit on every bet on PP.
Unless he limited to pennies, he has 100s or 1000s on the horse.
He has stated before on numerous occasions he does not bet in those sums.

I was backing a horse last week for the festival NRNB and the max stake I was allowed was €23

Ya similar, aidan is right that they will allow you to have the same on the day after, and the day after...

Yeah I know. I'm referring to this dramatic increase in his stakes.

I'm generally and small punter (out of necessity , as with 25/1 and up bets, there can be a long time between drinks)

All that said, if i think there is money lying around on the floor to be picked up(Obv there are no certainties in life), Ill have a larger bet. Especially around Cheltenham. On that handicap horse Ive had back it a number of times (in two bloody races).

Full week off, as I have done since I was 14 years old

won't say how long ago that was!

A mixture of anticipation, excitement and a little bit of disapointment of not being able to travel .

Wondering how to approach that week with work. I'm going on the assumption pubs wont be open. Could have cans and watch from home, push all calls to the am and try to a bit of work in between to save annual leave

The Mig · 25-01-2021 10:11pm

Usually take the week off myself but this year it would probably seem a waste of annual leave with the pubs not being open. Will see closer to the time though

kksaints · 25-01-2021 10:17pm

Will probably take a few half days leave. Don't want to be disrupted by work during the races and I don't need to take full days off for it as I'm wfh.

Sultan of Bling · 26-01-2021 12:00am

I normally take the 4 days off.

I can work flexi hours and working from home so im going to start work early on the tuesday and finish in time for the first race and just take thursday and friday off.

7 weeks to go!!

hawaii501 · 26-01-2021 10:42am

Tuesday-Tuesday it will be for me, sure whats the point in saving annual leave as we won't be able to go away this year anyway

Stevieluvsye · 26-01-2021 11:41am

Can't wait for this. One of the few times a year i have a drink. Shame about the pubs but fcuk it. Might see if ITV can lend me some croud noise.

I'm not as big on WPM having as good a cheltie as the prices may suggest. I thinked he put everything in to xmas and they may not run to the same levels. Could be wrong but i'll be following Elliot.

Hope Nicholls has a sh!te cheltie. Can't stand the fella. I'll be keeping an eye on a few of Hendersons in the Handicaps also.

For the gold cup, t wouldn't surprise me if Minella Indo was right there and for the Champion Hurdle, Abacadabras i think may bounce back. Wide open race

Earendil · 27-01-2021 11:42am

not looking forward to it at all such as I would in years past. It's the one time of year I absolutely ignore my missus and kids for 4 days. Have nowhere to watch this year except at home....where they will all be all day due to fecking schools closed :mad:

Surely they will have to run the Cotswolds and the cleeve elsewhere will they?

Sprinter's brother out again. Still a hype horse, will shorten a lot if he wins so backing him for the Supreme before the race might be a play although he'd want to show a new gearbox altogether to threaten the likes of Appreciate It in March.

Talk of running them at Sandown next week.

spuddiesal · 30-01-2021 4:41pm

What is everyone doing for Cheltenham?. Do you think hotels in Ireland will be open. 4 of us go every year. We might look at booking an air bnb somewhere if numbers are down ...

The Mig · 02-02-2021 1:09pm

6 weeks today

Stevieluvsye · 02-02-2021 1:11pm

Can't wait.

I was thinking about my serious bet of the week and it has to be Zanahyir. Can't see it getting beat. Also going fairly large on Elliot t be top trainer. His horses are going to come good any day.

Also Kennedy top jock.

Slattsy · 02-02-2021 1:12pm

Excitement just not the same is it? Knowing pubs likely to be closed

Can't see hotels being open to be honest, will most likely be sitting at home unless I get a better offer... God help herself on the phone in work for the few days

The Mig · 02-02-2021 1:15pm

Brother in law has taps, gas and cooler not being used so may order a keg for the week

Stevieluvsye · 02-02-2021 1:16pm

First day is vital to get off to a good start punting. If i break even it sets me up for the week.

Not entered in the juvenile hurdle at the weekend which is a little disappointing. Might have a small setback. I'm still holding faith in Quilixios and French Aseel who've I've both at tidy odds as I was late backing Zanahyir.

Just hope ITV's coverage is good. Champerlain is a pain in the tits. Hopefully McCoy is there. Francesca is alright too and is also a babe. Harvey is a bit of a gob****e. Let's hope there is none of this Frodon ****e again, making out that Bryony is the greatest thing since sliced bread

Cumani is stone useless in my opinion when it comes to NH racing but she's lovely to look at alright. Although some lads here definitely would rather Alice Plunkett!!

Ya I couldn't hack that if Pegasus comparisons are made again. I think I'll give up the game if Frodon somehow wins a Gold Cup. Be nothing sweeter if our Rachael is the one who wins it.

It was the same when Bryony won a few weeks back. They made it out to be the ride of the century when she went font running. I think McCoy put the ride in to perspective and he got slated for it.

Don't get me wrong, there are worse jokeys out there compared to her, but Dickie Johnson, STD and Paul Townend she aint

RivetingRoger · 02-02-2021 3:14pm

FFP were saying that ITV might have all races this year instead of the usual 5 a day
Hope so
Lot of lads won't have RTV and can't go to the pub obviously at the moment

I would take here over the current version of Richard Johnson any day of the week, he is a negative on any horse for me. As for Sam Twiston Davis please dont make me laugh.

In the last 12 months to today Bryony Frost has a win % of 16.6%, a ROI of 27% and an A/E of 1.00.

Dickie is 15.1%, -23% and 0.82.... STD is 13.9%, -35.8% and 0.77.

Those figures are pretty clear, she is a far better jockey than either. People are blinded by the perceived fawning over her by certain cohorts of the media, when the truth is she is a way above average jockey who is excellent for the sport. Begrudgery is an awful thing.

IAMAMORON · 02-02-2021 3:50pm

Bryony Frost over fences, every time.

She is a brilliant jockey over the fences. She gets a great tune out of horses, she has something extra for sure.

The longer the chase the better, she knows the craic.

She has a lovely still position on a horse and as a result is able to get them into a lovely rhythm, you can pick here out a mile away in a large field because of it, she is also a very good judge of pace.

IAMAMORON · 02-02-2021 3:59pm

I am still picking myself off the floor over Sam Twiston Davies if I am being honest.
