its buzzzing on here for a friday night, i wonder why !!!!!

Jos Tizzard has his critics but he is more like Richard Hills on the flat in that he is capable but has more howlers than he should. Last year Dunguib's jockey was a serious liability but he looked so good against the other runners he was entitled to be EVS. Cue Card cannot go off bigger than 7/4 just no chance.
|

By:
fair enough, Wallis - understand you're reasoning and you could be right.
I respect the stats but think there is too much emphasis on what happened to Dunguib - that has no bearing on Cue Card's chances to me - unless Dunguib's given him a call and told him what a terrible time he had! |

Has anyone taken up the Pdy Pwer offer with Cue Card and if so which horse ?
I fancy backing one with PP , and then holding out on Cue Card to see if I can get on that at 3-1. No loss if I dont and it goes and wins. |
|
By:
buzzing ok look he has a great chance but at 9/4 the best bet is each way on something else i think gerathy has chosen wrong just like when mcoy chose binocular over captain cee bee therefore i recommend Sprinter Sacre great chance and will drift
|
|
By:
Cue Card each way at 9/4 is the best e/w bet in the race!
|
|
By:
I'll back one with PP on the concession - have n't done so yet, like the idea of Recession Proof because he's proved he can cope with a big field and a fast pace - his flat background suggests he should cope with better ground than at Newbury too.
Need to look at the race in more detail - Al Ferof would be another that would possibly interest me if he runs. |
|
By:
cue card each way what kind of fool backs each way at 9/4 your going to lose your money if hes placed clown
|

By:
so if the irish wont get on cue what about Medermit cant see him getting beat too just keep pulling up the hill!

When it came to Dunguib last year I suspect that because it was an irish horse the money was piled on into singles , doubles , trebles etc and was probably the corner stone of many an acca. I dont think Cue Card has the same appeal.
|
|
By:
No it was a horse that looked an absolute certainty. It had nothing to do with being Irish or acca etc.
|
|
By:
You must remember Cue Card Supreme price has not been moved because of other factors:
- He has not seen a racecourse since Dec 11th - He was being touted for the Champion Hurdle until recently Had he had a nice run against a half decent novice field like Dunguib did last February than I am certain he would be very close to EVS. |
|
By:
I agree TF , he would be nearer evens with a run. But it begs the question why is he near 3.4 ? If a recent run is the only issue then its an amazing price in my mind. I think its this big because layers are out to get it and will continue to do so.
and on Duiguib , come on , every irishman at the festival punted this on day one. It was a huge talking horse going into the festival. That isnt the case with CC. |
|
By:
The Irish i met walking to the course were all punting Dunguib, I said that i had backed Fiulin, they laughed.............and they were right on that one though,
 finished 6/7th @ 100/1. |
|
By:
^ you'll have the last laugh when he wins the Imperial Cup today though
 |
|
By:
at least yours wasnt beat at 4-5 :)
I like Hidden Universe with the PP offer and will wait on cue card. |
|
By:
FFT - on Old Way and Ultimate both e/w.
|
|
By:
But it begs the question why is he near 3.4
The markets are a bit dead now. Calm before the storm. Wait until Tuesday morning and we will see how much these layers are willing to go to town on a horse that looks a good thing on paper. |

By:
Cue Card will go off at 3's!? Haha, what a complete load of nonsense!
Trust me, odds compilers do not want to lay Cue Card, I know they don't! His EP will be 15/8, possibly 7/4, and id be surprised if he goes off bigger than 6/4! If Cue Card wins impressively, expect Menorah's price to nose dive! I suspect Pricewise will put him up too. Hurricane Fly will drift, any bookmaker worth his salt will be desperate to take the unknown on; id expect support for Peddlers Cross and Dunguib in that race! |
|
By:
HURRICANE will be a monster gamble for the irish .
they dont give a toss about the unproven |
|
By:
if willie runs so young in the supreme then forget ziadpour the irish will smash into it
|
|
By:
So young wont run in the Supreme, they just shaking the markets up a little bit until the horses have traveled over, once there over here and reports are fine thats when the stable staff and rest of the clued up irish get stuck in.

3-1 in the morning as predicted. What a price. |
|
By:
Cue Card class. 3 horse race. Spirit Sons jumping is impressive. Watch it on sporting life videos for free. Magens Star is the other. Sprinter Sacre will be a great chaser and one to follow next year
|
|
By:
One of the other posters suggested Cue card ew at 5-2 , well that looks a great bet now if its 3-1 in the morning and 1/4 odds first 3.
|

By:
same stunt as last year lads & williams been so short on cue hope people get it wont last long, shops only i take it
|
|
By:
even money bets of 100 will be 70 at 3s the rest at 9/4!!
