Hurricane Fly...why the slight drift?

Quite a significant drift for a supposedly 'bomb proof' horse.

Something up at the Mullins yard? Would explain the big weakness in Scotsirish's price too?

more to do with Hills going 5/4 for a time tomorrow morning I imagine?

If they are then they are bonkers.

Graham Sharpe and Kate Miller been tweeting it in last hour

FFS I'm going to disconnect my broadband and go and hide in a darkened room for the next 8 days - can't take much more of this !!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice one cheers Ron

available from 830 Martin...but dont know if that will be on the net or not

Well you'll get the arbers on here filling their boots so I'm going to stick a pile up at 2.12 as Hills will probs only lay a nifty at 5-4 so may as well get piling in before it goes back to 1.9 !

Any reason for the drift with hills?

Presumably a publicity stunt - I give them 15 mins at that price max.

You can get a lot of money on in 15 minutes if you live in an area with plenty of Hills shops ! I reckon they will hold it til midday up to £100 per customer. But we will see.

Hmmm. just popped out to pick up the takeaway and now the price is back to 1.9.

Thanks for the info.

I've got half a chunk on the antepost and was gonna put the other half on on the day, but if the Hills offer is 5/4 NRNB then I'll prob try load up now with them. Anything above evens is value to me!

Yeah seems to explain the drift. It looked like there was money being done at 1.85 earlier on account of the ground conditions. These ante post markets are volatile especially with the forum rumour mill to oil the wheels. Am going to be trying to get on Hurricane fly tomorrow asap

You'll prob get near evens on the day, I still would prefer the insurance **** give with their money back if horse comes 2nd as it's next to impossible to see fly coming 3rd.

Where is this well communicated Hurricane Fly offer with WH? I can't find it on the website. Thought it was going to be through all channels.

From 8.30am

@playthegameboy,

Thanks very much. I am knee's deep in HF already but any excuse to add to that

£25 bet max, brilliant

I got £80 on in the shop at 8.30

Done some doubles as already on 9/4 Nr No Bet The Hurricane , with Darlan, Sizing Europe and Ocar Whisky. Expect at least one double to gain some reward.

let me have a £100. laid it back,  free £30 , thanks William

are there any doubles worth doing fly vs w/o fly market? looking at fly/zarkandar 6.87/1 1st/2nd

Got on as well seems like a fair offer nrnb as well

Managed to get 80 quid on no bother.

Probably could get more on but have enough bets on already

See Tetlami thread 40s with Sid James for while, think they messed up big time imo wont be good enough but had to throw score at it at price.

thanks for the heads up on the offer! got £100 online and £400 in shops, so Im done till collection time!

Offer been pulled now. Assume they have filled their boots with as much HF laying as they could handle. Managed to get £100 through my online account, went into a shop at 1.30pm and it had been taken down. Should harden up now until the next firm takes it on.

BIG Thank you done 4 shop's 100each no-prob and my mate put on 2x doubles for me, with sprinter lovely jubbley,happy with that.

paddy power went 5-4 in shops today for half hour max bet 500 per customer!

Amazing offer. You can guarantee a nice return from that bet. Money for nothing!

I have a decent amount on H Fly but I must admit I am becoming slightly concerned about Binocular - might have an ew saver on it - any thoughts?

not as amazing as 2-1 about sprinter sacre which they also offered!

SN02, we've done binocular to death already, this thread might be your best bet http://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/28953523/b...

anything not quite right here ! seems a lot of firms want to get the fly and taking shedloads on him it seems  ,bookies not usually known for giving away  free money ,do they know something we dont, or is it just the bookmakers wanting to give some back to punters !

totally agree foyleswar but coulding resist going in at 5-4! but with nrnb think its a no brainer because theres no way in hell willie will not let him take his chance if he's not 100% right!

Bookies have always taken on good things at Cheltenham, it's up to the punter to figure out which one to back and which to avoid. Hopefully this is one they have got wrong.

perhaps the arbers out to play after taking WH 5/4

Deary me. 5/4, is an awful price about one of the biggest hype horses I've seen in my years following the horses. Has beaten nothing but handicappers (with the exception of Peddlers who was found to be off) and has only won on flat tracks. Has a large number of significant trends to overcome and has found nothing off the bridle whenever he's been asked - and he certainly will be asked a week tomorrow.

No wonder the bookies are taking turns to take him on. Who will be next?!

who will get him off the bit? he finds nothing off it? have you been drinking or lost your mind?

lol

Glossy you're a mug plain and simple

I'd love to know what 'significant stats' he has to overcome!

ah the poor fella has lost his mind!

Horses Hurricane Fly has beaten that have won Grade1 races
Solwhit x6, 1000 stars x2, Binocular x4, Unnacompanied x2, Oscars Well x2, Oscar Whiskey x1, Menorah x1, Peddlers x2, Dunguib x2, Kyber Kim x1 ... and probably more but thats enough to make the point

Won't even go into the Bridle argument, he finds plenty - idels in front.

Where did he win his champion hurdle last year? Which flat track?

Sorry, the post related to Sprinter Sacre - was reading the thread about the 5/4 on offer and forgot I'd switched threads.

My most sincere apologies to all involved

5-4 gone ages ago especially now as peddlers doesnt run! had  nice bet at 2's today so can lay bet off and still have free bet at evens! cant lose! think he'll romp though!

lol I knew that was what happened

Sprinter is facking nailed on now though

what trend has he got to overcome then?

Actually surprised no-one picked up on that from my arguments, usually a sharp bunch on here.

Happens to the best of us after a long day at work.

serioiusly glossy what trends has sacre got to overcome?>

OK fair enough then - i retract my mug comment in that case!

I thought you were knocking a proven Grade 1 horse ...

I thought you'd realise what it was judo.

I think we spoke briefly about it last night. The favourites trend is one but the more significant stat relates to the hurdles rating of the Arkle winning profile. He has a few in front of him in that respect.

pfft hardly gonna stop him is it? and I totally ignore betting market trends so you can forget that

hills offer went bout 9 hours ago! the ship has sailed!

I see Cue Card running a very aggressive race to try and catch SS at it coming up the hill. The increased pace helps Menorah and he jumps better than ever. They come up the hill with Cue Card just in front but then fades quickly. SS is level but off the bridle and finds very little. Menorah stays on in the last furlong and wins by a couple of lengths.

Paddy, this convo was meant to be happening on the thread dedicated to that offer! I realise it's not longer available!

haha menorah have you seen his jumping sure the pace cue card gona go if he misses 1 he wont get away with it! no chance

Yes I've seen his jumping thanks. There's a school of thought that feel the faster pace and bigger field may actually improve it though. Less time to think and ponder his fences - it happens. That coupled with the time spent with Yogi could definitely improve him. It's a horse that does well at Cheltenham, has genuine 2m speed comes up the hill and should be written off at your peril.

no peril whatsoever, won't see which way the monster went

I guess we'll see in not too long now! Anyway, that's all I have to say on this HF thread.

Apologies to the OP for accidently derailing the thread!

glossy bazza has said he@s better than moscow! goodnight on that note!
