Market gone?
Just thinking, The £1million bonus is put up by the Jockey Club isn't it? Won't they be hedging on the day?  |

Jase,
I am thinking about 7-2 joint favs on the day, with Djak and DP 5s. That is of course making vast assumption that Vatour goes elsewhere. There seems little money around for Vatour at the moment, whereas CC has been contracted , albeit steadily. It is all academic now because Sportsbook look like they have pulled the betting. Someone has probably twigged at last that a rick was being exploited..... |

By:
if Vautour goes Ryanair I could see the bookies wanting to take DC on and CC rightfully ending up fav.
|
|
By:
Not a cat in hells chance CC goes off favourite.
If the ground is v soft then Djak and DP will be vying for favouritsm. If the ground is decent DC will be favourite with Vatour 2nd fav (if he runs). It really is as simple as that. |
|
By:
A lot of ifs
|
|
By:
No ifs.
The ground will be v soft or it won't. Either way he ain't favourite! |
|
By:
Sorry, but if it's not very soft, then it's decent ground?
|
|
By:
Vautour defo be fav now
|
|
By:
Will depend on liabilities/accas running on from Irish bankers. If they come in yes Vautour will be fav but if not, the books will lay him I reckon
|
|
By:
Same could be said to a lesser extent perhaps for Tizzard, Native River, Thistlecrack etc before Cue Card.
|
|
By:
Don is 7/2 with PP but between him and CC there's only 1,5-2 points which on the day could sway the other way. Looks a good bet this but I still won't take the plunge as I'm too big fan of DC
 |
|
By:
This market is back now, but with PP. Cue Card 7's with them.
|
|
By:
Now clear 2nd Fav on the exchange and only a point behind DC. 7-1 seems a steal; last week's 14-1 was grand larceny.
|
|
By:
getting more likely by the day, Cossack very weak last few days
|
|
By:
mullins upbeat about vautour today , he will be the fly in the ointment regards cue card starting fav .
|
|
By:
9/2 now
|
|
By:
I thought this bet had no chance but well done it's looking very likely now,maybe Don Poli will be the fly in the ointment and not Vautour.
9/2 is that still to big? |
|
By:
Its looking extremely tight.
Thistlecrack winning half the track could be the difference. That will stick in the mind of the ordinary punter, then the million chat we could have a groundswell. |
|
By:
They'll be laying that back, the shorter it goes
 |
|
By:
They should turn up in the ring with 200k to punt at say 5/1, that should help
 |
|
By:
This has just got a lot more interesting.
|
|
By:
It's up for grabs

Thanks Charwell. I wasn't aware of that until I just read your post.
