Tony - I just got the same e-mail. P I S S E D me right off. Wot good a book you want to digest before the event if you dont get it till after. Hopeless. Is it just Amazon that will be late or is the hold up with the publisher?
|
|
By:
Are you talking about the RP book or the Paul Jones one?
If Paul Jones, try Weatherbys shop. |
|
By:
just tried wh smith its not in stock there.so i think the best option is to order it with the ultimate weekender which as 180 has said gets posted out on the 1st march. like u say willie u need a good couple of weeks to sift through the info.

By:
Stron - It's the RP one by Nick Pulford.
How do I order the Ultimate weekender? |
|
By:
I've got the Amazon message too. Grrrrrr.
|

My Paul Jones one is estimated delivery 1 March

I've just ordered it through the Racing Post. Click on "Shop" then "Bookshop" then "Cheltenham Festival 2012"

Normally you'd expect Amazon to be a couple of days behind (in return for the discount) but I've not heard of anyone getting theirs direct from the Racing Post yet, so we may have to chalk another one up to the Post's ramshackle organisation.
Probably this is the one time of the year everyone tries to order the same book at the same time from the Racing Post and the extra staff needed to deal with it were made redundant in the efficiency drive before last. |

Still waiting for my Weaterbys guide to arrive - was looking forward to a few hours with my head in that tonight....
|

By:
I often order from High Stakes bookshop. I ordered Paul Jones guide on Friday it is not in yet but they did have RP one
|
|
By:
I got my Weatherbys on on Friday. Swings and roundabaouts.
|
|
By:
I have had the weatherbys one and the racing post one year after year but now I just print off the atr trends on the megasite....free and in my opinion better than the other 2.
|
|
By:
Not sure how the ATR trends are better than the Weatherbys book given that they are both by Paul Jones!
I do agree with the general sentiment though as I found the book a little bit of a waste last year with 90% of the same info is on the ATR website for free |

The thing is, it will point you to a winner but will also put you off a winner.
I buy it most years but you should always go with your own gut feeling. win, lose or draw imo. |

By:
If you are buying the Festival Guide from the Wetherbys site then use the promo code SUN and you will get a Fiver off.
Makes it only £9.95 with a tenner free bet with SJ |
|
By:
Mine is due for delivery on the 29th, but I am wary as pre-ordered the Aintree/Punchestown guide last year and that wasn't going to be delivered till after the GN!
|
|
By:
Always late every year thru Wetherbys for some reason.
|
|
By:
Ordered through Wetherbys - arrived Saturday (25th)

You lucky roger just rang while back was told sending today.
|
|
By:
The Paul Jones one was being sold at Towcester yesterday and looks decent.
I've also got the delayed message for the RP one from Amazon, so have got that instead. Through Weatherbys with the promotional code kindly provided above it's only a tenner including a tenner free SJ bet which is an excellent deal. The distribution issues with the RP book should increase the sales of the Paul Jones ones! |
|
By:
Racing Post are very slow dont bother anymore.
|
|
By:
Just received my Chel Festival guide. Thats the next few days entertainment covered
 |
|
By:
Babestation on the blink then is it?
 |
|
By:
Why would anyone buy the Racing Post guide when Paul Jones' excellent book is available
|

Have a look at this, see if it helps. https://sites.google.com/site/gaultstats/

got it today now lets find those winners
|
|
By:
Just got the weatherbys guide today, can someone please tell me where their shortlists are for each race, cos on their website the say 13 of the 27 winners last year were shortlisted? But i cant see any shortlists?
|
|
By:
come on hardy- they come with the emails

It goes through the major players for each race, a safe assumption is that these are the shortlisted horses. |
|
By:
For real lazy fookers you can pay the 6 quid or whatever it is and have the shortlist text to you every day (previous evening) - he did shortlist 13 of 27 but remember that he recommends 3/4/5 in each race so for a level stakes player the P/L won't have been huge...
|
|
By:
The shortlists are the emailed/texted info sent the night before the races at extra cost.
|
|
By:
If anyone wants to give me £6 I'll e-mail/text you 3-5 selections per race in a shortlist the night before...reckon I'd be just as good !
I accept Paypal  |

By:
LOL. Paul Jones is pretty good
 |
|
By:
He is pretty good, he definitely pulled Zemsky, Holmwood Legend, Al Ferof last year, and at 33s, 25s and 10s he won't have finished the week in the red....

Ordered the Paul Jones one through Weatherbys on Monday night and it arrived this morning.
|
|
By:
Ordered mine through Wetherbys two days ago, can't frigging wiat to get a read at it. Does anyone know ehn we get the free bet with SJ? I haven't received an email about it.
