"One went in the ground and one didn't," said Henderson.
"I still think My Tent Or Yours is a very good horse. I felt Chatterbox was not as mature and he'll only be having a quiet season."

I think you could possibly say that about him in his bumper days Harry but he looks a different animal this season. He showed more than enough guts after pulling the whole way around Ascot to beat a very good rival. As I mentioned earlier he wasn't ever winning at Newbury unless Chatterbox fell or wasn't in contention. The money was down on the so called 2nd string.

One thing in his favour, JP Mac doesnt worry about what numbers and letters are after his horses names. He isnt worried about a string of 1's and protecting his horses from possible defeat. Just get them match fit for the big day is all he cares about.

I'll accept that you shouldnt lose faith after trying to go through that ground, the horse clearly has a engiene but in his win over hurdles his jumping was pretty woeful

Arcalis got stuffed in the same race before hosing up in the supreme. Can safely say the ground was to blame and the funerial pace. That said, i dont see him winning a supreme.

I already have at 20s before he was gambled last time - think I may have to join you.
Also like Court Minstrel - sort of hoping he falls short tomorrow.

Check again.... (oddly, some people were saying the same thing last yr about the Winter Novices Hurdle being a 2m novice, and questioning how Simonsig could have been outstayed over 2...)

How embarrassing . Don't know why but was convinced that Tolworth was 2.5 and why wanted CM to run well and not win.
I am pleased you pointed it out, despite making me look the fool I am, reassured me about Supreme.
Good luck if you are playing him today, I may well do so now though concerns about ground and pace.

Don't be silly Roo, 99% of my posts are wrong, so just 1 is actually good going!!
GL to you today too Roo - I do think CM is a very classy horse but think this is a deep renewal and worry about the lack of pace. GL!

My Tent Or Yours has been entered for the grade 3 betfair handicap hurdle at Newbury on Feb the 9th. Ladbrokes have today cut from 20s in 14s. I presume the mark of 140 given is a provisional mark at the moment? I was under the impression a horse had to run 3 races over hurdles in order to obtain a mark? Anyone shed any light?
If get me out of here runs off 158, that would give my tent or yours a nice racing weight. Glad to see they've now mapped his progression to the Supreme out now.

a horse can be given a h,cap mark after 2 runs now if the horse in question has been placed on both runs example my tent -12 now been given 140 which me personally i think is not entiely chucked in

Won well enough today he just tanks to the front halfway through as if to say come on lets get this over with lol. I know he's beaten nothing today but you just have to be taken with him.

Is JP going to have 3 runners in the supreme, MTOY last 2 runs were in class 4 races while the other 2 ( Jezki + Waaheb )were first and second in G1. Although MTOY beat a horse that's subsequently gone on to win a G2 + G1 Taquin Du Seuil was giving MTOY 5 pound and was running over 2 mile which was inadequate for him. The jury is still out for me on this one and I couldn't see even JP splashing out 1/2 million on another 2 mile novice if he thought he had a real good one. ON good ground MTOY is very useful and will make a nice chaser while I imagine the other 2's game will remain over hurdles.

Fairly sure Ned won't be running, and now beginning to wonder is the County Hurdle on cards for MTOY. He could be well handicapped having only contested class 4 races on his last two starts.

Rated 140 b4 today - and anythin could happen after today, would nt surprise me if he was left alone or if he went up 8!
If he goes well in the betfair hurdle next month as seems the likely target he will b hcapped out of the county imo

Wouldn't be getting too carried away with that performance. Certainly won well but will have to battle at Cheltenham and we will see what he is made of when he comes off the bridle.

I would agree with you normally blarney as I am very wary of bridle monkeys too - if he had been beating novices or was carrying 10st 2 in that race today I would have been right with you... but he could have carried 12.5 there. He beat some good ones - tough old Petit Robin in 5th stamps the form as genuine IMO.
Best Novice performance of the season.

"Think words like Machine and Supreme Winner are a tad premature!!
Was a good performance today,but really had to be in that company."
What else is it then? Its just hacked up off 149 in a race where a faster pace and better ground is what it needs.
Its just run to 160+ he's going to into the Supreme with the highest rating ever.

That was stunning. I usually avoid the hotpot in the Supreme, but that is the best performance I've ever seen from a novice hurdler pre-Cheltenham. Surely all he has to do is repeat the form and he'll run away with the Supreme.

As for yesterday,very impressive and certainly a worthy fav. We do have some good ones this year though,2 of which run today. Its not cut and dried chaps.
Thanks Roo,saved me replying.As for yesterday,very impressive and certainly a worthy fav.We do have some good ones this year though,2 of which run today.Its not cut and dried chaps.
Hard to ignore his credentials based on what we have seen. Will be a big competitive field though and it can be a rough race. I probably won't play now. Most likely winner but the race is not one to back at his currrent odds for me. Good luck though if you are on at a fancy price!

On at 10/1 and a top up at 20/1 for the supreme and i for one cannot wait until 12th March although i do fear a couple of the others and so have backed accordingly, each way of course

A quick question regarding AP betting. I placed a double on MTOY winning both the betfair hurdle and the supreme. The bet has been accepted online however im hearing for various people that bets like this dont usually exist because the odds are interrelated? Any knowledge much appreciated

Yes it would be a a related bet, but your argument could well be why is there online site allowing you to place the same selection in a double. In a shop it would be the cashier's job to advise you of that.

I'm sure there'll be something in their ts and cs to prevent a payout.
Don't alert the bookie involved just in case. Speak to a rival and seek clarification what they'd do. If it wins and they don't pay out, go for it anyway. Good luck.

Thanks, yes this is what is confusing as i placed the double on at 50/1 and was wondering why they then later offered a special market at 20/1. Can hills void the bet as a double and pay out as two singles? Or now they've accepted it is it on?
Just read latest reply, will go read more terms and conditions as well
Again thanks

It depends on the bookie from my experience. I've done these before and had the bet accepted via some sites and not accepted via others and I would say that the software allows the bookie to not allow the bet if they don't want to, so the fact you got on I'd say that was fine. A friend of mine won a boatload backing Zarkandar in the adonis and triumph a few years ago. Think that was with Sky Bet.
My Tent Or Yours fact: Baracouda (176, in Foot and Mouth season) is the only novice to have posted a higher rating before March.

it is a related bet for sure, your best hope is they dont spot it. If they do they will prob settle as a double using the price you took for the bf hurdle & the new supreme price that was offered immidiately after the bf hurdle win. This would be fair. All bookies have a rule to cover related bets

Nicky Henderson has stated My Tent Or Yours will run in the William Hill Supreme Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival next month.
There had been speculation the talented six-year-old could be supplemented for the Stan James Champion Hurdle following his effortless victory in the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury, but connections have decided to run him in the Supreme on March 12.
"He's very good and he goes for the Supreme. I have been speaking to AP (Tony McCoy), Frank Berry (racing manager) and JP McManus (owner) and that is the plan, I believe," said Henderson.

Do you think BG will definitely ride Jezki ? Wont he be on River Maigue and Robbie Power on Jezki ? Adds to the drama of the opening race. Either way I am on MTOY at 14's and hoping he gets my Festival off to a flying start for once !

MTOY 10/1 + top up at 20/1 and Jezki at 8/1 will do for me for now lol and are by far the best ive got, also have dodging bullets at 14s for that race.

are you all convinced they won't switch to the Champion? I think it's 100 that they do but I've heard that it's being discussed in an attempt to win both races

Jumped well enough amongst horses in a big field lto. If you mean he might lose concentration being so far clear at the last I concede that could be a problem

he won a very average betfair hurdle on soft ground - miles apart from what he'll face in the supreme,,,watch his jumping up the newbury straight and for me it's enough evidence that under faster conditions (both going and pace) he won't cope..and for all those who are stuck on ratings, how did he get beat by chatterbox??

not that Mytent can't win, but his price is definitely overbet because he was visually so impressive LTO. Bridle monsters often get over rated.
Got to lay the 2/1 in such a hot renewal. As noted above - he's not even unbeaten... and what the form of the b/f hurdle represents remains to be seen...

I would suggest his defeat of a proven stayer at Ascot who is now one of the favs for the Neptune has shown he finds off the bridle. Watch that race, it shows a the required fight to my eyes.

cotton mill would of gave Simonsig a race in the Neptune, and he got trounced by mtoy and if you think that Newbury form with chatterbox is genuine shouldn't Chatterbox being going off odds on in the Supreme loool. People keep harping on about this years Supreme being a strong field... how could you possible know that until next season. Personally think Jezki's form is over hyped, he couldn't even beat Glam Gerry and then has beat Champagne Fever who quite clearly isn't a super star, then he beat a moderate bunch latest. Then you have Un atout that is blatently a chaser. Next is Dodging Bullets (looooool a second season novice) Then we have Melodic Rendezvous who was beat quite easily by CF last year, but in saying that looks to have improved and is probably the only one that could perhaps give the tent half a race.
Don't judge the supreme until they're mixing it with this years seniors imo.

of course people are going to judge it because going into the race so many novices are highly rated and the renewal looks deep with quality...
we can judge next seasons racing when that time comes around but as it stands this is a very hot looking supreme brimmed with exciting novices rated in the 150's and a favourite rated 163...
very easy to criticize other horses the way you have in a winter when judging form is harder than ever with the weather...you have certainly destroyed a lot of horses with no real back up just they aren't good enough... the way you talk my tent or yours should be odds on because you certainly don't respect any of the other runners
this years supreme is no different than any other lots of unexposed horses lining up except this year looks a high class renewal on paper to me
brooksie what a ridiculous statement...of course people are going to judge it because going into the race so many novices are highly rated and the renewal looks deep with quality...we can judge next seasons racing when that time comes around but as i
how on earth can you judge novices running against each other, for all we know these grade 1 races could have a bunch of 170 rated horses or 130. The only way to rate a horse is through more senior horses that have already got lines of form, thats why mtoy has a rating in the 160's how can jezki be given a rating in the 150's when he hasn't ran against a proven 150 horse...

I'm not saying MTOY won't win or that he is as good as his rating of 163, but I do suspect that the horses that ran behind him the last day didn't run near their marks. If MTOY is what people are saying Taquin du seuil should be odds on to win the neptune. Do jezki Grade 1 wins stack up, remains to be seen..... Roll on Tuesday and may every person and horse get there safely.

Brooksielad is right in that it is impossible to know beforehand the quality of this race although it does have the makings of the race of the festival from all the preliminaries - I cannot have the favourite at its current price with so many others with latent potential against it - must be a strong lay bet

are you saying we cannot rate horses until they have run against seasoned racers??
obviously this suits your bet brooksie... as it happens i myself handicapped mtoy 163 after his run as the right horses surrounded him but it doesn't take away from the way the race was run and how the horse would handle better ground off of fast fractions...all imponderables
as it happens i have melodic rendevous a lot lower than the rpr he has achieved but i maybe wrong and am happy to be wrong if i can understand why...
jezki is a horse i like but personally have him running his best early season and whether he can peak again i have my doubts...he is rated 150 on the back of a grade 1 victory
you cannot say un atout cannot win as he hasn't been off the bridle yet...what you can say about him is he has no collateral form and is 8-1 god only knows what he could do
you then laugh off dodging bullets when he has run against grade 1 older horses...loool as if your smart... and back it up with a second season novice...now that is funny considering he was second to grumeti first time then 4th in the triumph running choke out in lane 8 the whole way before stumbling at aintree...this year he has finished third in a christmas hurdle on ground he doesn't like
champagne fever may not be a superstar but he is honest and genuine and a proper graded horse
nothing worse than having to listen to someone ramping there own selection and putting others down because it suits there bet...i will continue to rate horses novices or not...a bunch of 170 horses unheard of brooksie

If MTOY is rated 163 should the stewards at Newbury on 29th December not looked into the riding. He probably doesn't need such a rating to win supreme but there is 1/2 million reasons to believe Jezki will reach such a rating + at some stage or JP will surely be sacking someone. Now the e/way steal of Cheltenham.
