If Foxrock wins are ante post bets placed with it not in the field losers ? Is there a rule on it ?
|
|
By:
Losers, yes. But he won't so don't worry.
|

By:
Alot more going for him than plenty in the field.... but ideally I think he would need cut in the ground at this trip

It also only costs £15k to supplement for the Ryanair whereas it is about £70k for the GC (I think)

Boston Bob maybe heading here as well,Wylie must be soft as -hit if they allow that to happen.
Not good enough last season in this,and wont be this. Maybe something to do with Ruby having ride again? |

Wylie is just like a puppet. His horses have been campaigned poorly since they went to Mullins but he can't see the wood for the trees sadly. He should get them in a yard that runs them in the suitable races not for trainer or jockey whims. It's his own fault obviously but I think he wants the glory of being at Mullins even if it is to the detriment of his horses who in my opinion are not realising their true potential at present.

Double Ross. OK, bear with me. Form this season hasn't been great but has largely been tried over 3 miles this year and on soft. His best run over 3m this season was in the Charlie Hall when he was 4L 3rd to Menorah, and that was on good. He's at his best at about this distance, and is a different animal here and with decent ground. Festival form is 8th in a Neptune, 3rd in a Martin Pipe then 2L 3rd to Taquin de Seuil in the Jewson last year. I don't think he's shown enough class to say he can win a Ryanair but wouldn't be the most surprising thing ever to see him place and he's 50/1 NRNB with Lads.

I've bet him as well marychain, and took 110's to 180's. I'd agree he's been pretty average this year, but if he turns up, I'd be as conifdent as I can be about a 50-1 shot running a decent race. Agree with you again, probably not good enough to win, but I'd love a run for my money. The main thing that worries me, is that he's not priced up with a couple of firms on Oddschecker.....that always worries me.
If his season finishes the way it's started, he might be one to keep in mind for The Paddy Power. |

If RPR means anything and in a championship race with exposed horses it certainly should, the order should be:
Ma Filleule 175 Wishfull Thinking 174 (still 25/1) Baldur Succes 173 Don Cossack 173 Foxrock 172 (so not a hopeless task) Edouard 170 Wonderful Charm 170. Boston Bob 169 John's Spirit 169 It would be a major shock if none of those win and the market in no way reflects the odds suggested by the above. It should be something like 9/2 Ma F. 11/2/ Wishfull and Don Cossack (younger so can improve) 7/1 Balder, 9/1 Foxrock, 14/1 bar. |

I'm on Balder Succes and Wishfull Thinking but can't believe that the latter is still drifting. Has anyone heard any negatives about a course winner withe best handicap mark?

Had backed Uxizandre 16s for QMCC no bet on him today
 fecking typical! Great week, one thing that i am likely to remember though is that!! |

By:
Thought Cooper gave Don Cossack no chance with an impatient ride. DC made good ground up the hill but by then it was far too late.
|
|
By:
Don Cossack not good enough end of, made couple of jumping errors,which didn't help.
Not sure how winner led all the way though? Couldn't back it on last 2 runs no chance lol. |
|
By:
I thought it was astonishing that DC got as close as he did given the trouble he had on the way round. I actually thought he got interfered with at one with about 5 to go that jolted him and stopped his momentum. I've only seen it once though, so will need to look again.

By:
Think it was a mistake mary, rather tag being hampered. Was then almost brought down two out when Copper, perhaps unwisely, tried to go for a gap and got badly squeezed out. Thought he did really well to recover from that and run on so well. Just a race where the cards didn't fall for him.

Aintree bowl will be interesting.
