Unlucky Bally, as you say, there's always tomorrow. Came out just shy of evens (£20), but was looking bad at one point for me (Quevega rescued me again). Hoping for a better day tomorrow, and if Faugheen loses the first, I'll be devastated.

How many a/p backers of Jezki beat SP? I backed MTOY and beat SP in the end but he only dropped in price in the last 24 hours. The posts on here illustrate what a poor strategy ante post is unless you really know about an unexposed horse.

By:
About 90% of my ante posts go off shorter so not having that at all to be honest but each to their own.

Faugheen 8/1
Ballycasey 12/1 I'll know my fate for the day pretty early! |
|
By:
Bally, I'm sure that most horses that you bet ante post are shorter on the day but how many of them win and how many don't even run? Vautour and Holywell were no doubt big prices if you go back far enough but so were many of the horses behind them. I doubt if more than a handful got a double figure price Jezki, and they probably backed him on the day. My only early bets were Solwhit, Cue Card for the Ryanair and MTOY so that reflects my poor decision making.

I take advantage of NRFB and NRNB (preferably) on a lot of selections. There has been a good few this year that haven't ran and returned as promo cash for sure. More than normal but I just see it as losing a point as the ones that do run tend to end up being a hell of a lot shorter than when I backed them. For instance I'm sitting on the likes of
Faugheen 11.5 now 6-4 Lieutenant Colonel 25-1 now 14-1 Morning Assembly 16-1 now 8-1 Kid Cassidy 33-1 now 11-1 Annie Power 6-1 now 7-4 Felix Yonger 9-1 now 4-1 First Lieutenant 20-1 now 10-1 Silvniaco Conti 40-1 double - now 3-1 Just need two or three in a week to go in and anything else is a bonus most years |

Good luck Bally we have few same today,Faugheen and Ballycasey would be brilliant. Also on Clondaw Kaempfer. Think Balthazar great chance going in favour now cracking price imo at 6/1 enjoy!

Ground in favour, off to pub now for few beers, and shout home some winners!

I am exactly the same as you Bally, just need 2 or 3 in the week then the rest are bonus. Though this year i am still waiting on the first winner TNO

By:
complete disaster so far for me... luckily have managed to trade out of a lot of my bets before the likes of Vautour and Faugheen did their respective demolition jobs. And complete blow out from withdrawal of Le Rocher
the only thing i've go left is a Faugheen - Felix Yonger double at 24-1! |

I was also on Balthazar King but more importantly it gets Hobbs on the score sheet and with Mullins still on 3 he is not out of sight yet.

Jezki was 14/1 after one of his races in Ireland this season. |

Thanks for the correction Budd. We all have different strategies and my ante post record-other than laying favourites before Xmas-is awful. I did get one result yesterday-stake refunded on Rocky Creek in the GC. I still think he would have been competitive but clearly Paul Nicholls disagrees.

Lets hope Conti does business,Nicholls chasers though on very poor run at Festival. Calipto/Plinth Triumph, Captain Cutter Bartlett, Arctic Fire County need some back up to be decided. Gold Cup Conti/Last Instalment/First Lieutenant,On The Fringe Foxhunters Junction Fourteen/The Skyfarmer Martin Pipe, Claret Cloak/Raya Star Grand Annual. it has gone way too quick, good luck all.

No AP bets yesterday.
Briar Hill 6/1 today. |
|
By:
No long term bets today but I do have Broughton at 12/1 and Cheltenian e/w at 10/1. Still a lingering chance that Philip Hobbs can be top trainer but he needs 2 wins today and Briar Hill to get beaten. Philip does have good shots at each of the County and the Martin Pipe plus 2 outside chances in the Albert Bartlett.

Better day on Day 4 but overall a frustrating Festival with many 2nds and 3rds. Still a good profit made with nice winners at 11-4, 11.5, 8-1, 16-1, 25-1 and 7-1 but disappointed to be honest. Roll on next year starting with Taquin Du Seuil at 25-1 in the Gold Cup lol...
