As we draw near the festival on a day with no jump racing people begin to think about the festival, and rightly so. I'm sat here thinking about altior and other things. I would like you to join me and help us remember festival bankers that got beat. off the top of my head

Mole Board hurt! My best ever ante post lay was Kauto Star, Well Chief and Moscow Flyer in Newmill's Champion Chase. It was around 1/20 that one of those 3 would win. KS fell, Moscow only fifth and Well Chief a non runner.

I probably would not have laid Kauto in isolation although in his 2 mile days he was nowhere near as reliable as he was over 3 miles later. As I said my liability was something like 1 point loss, 20 points profit after laying all three. The only sort of ante post laying I get involved with. Kauto fell early, Moscow got badly hampered and Well Chief didn't run so I enjoyed the second half of the race knowing I had won what ever happened. I'm sure most of the bookmakers felt the same.

If you want me to sulk for the day
 Rhinestone Cowboy robbed by the cheat, Jamie Spencer on Pizzarro. I've got over it, honest :-) |

Sybillin. As a novice he thrashed Deep Sensation ten lengths getting a pound in the Victor Chandler. Deep Sensation went on to win that season's Queen Mother, yet odds-on Sybillin was thrashed 21 lengths by Travado in the Arkle
 The horse knew how to rub it in as he beat Travado and Deep Sensation in the next season's Tingle Creek. |

I remember queuing for ages to get paid out on Rhinestone Cowboy, certain the Stewards would throw out Spencer having seen the head on. It was like being hit with a baseball bat when they announced the outcome of the enquiry. I suppose Spencer would call it a successful professional foul. I read he got away with one on Hayley Turner as well.

I am going to say that there has never been more debate (even Brexit) than there was to the virtues or lack of for Black Jack Ketchum before the Stayers hurdle. Fell 1st, no-one was right lol.
And when I look at bankers I'm looking for the real bomb proof ones on paper added in every double or treble before the race..... Rooster Booster & Annie Power (in the mares) are probably the tops. |

Alderbrook was very short against Collier Bay and others to win a second Champion hurdle.

Harcon was really short fav in 95 Sun Alliance Chase,had hardly seen another horse in previous races that season. Well beaten by Josh Gifford's mare Brief Gale and never won another race

The two bankers ie Paisley Park (health) and Benie (tactical error) were expansive failures; Samcro and Champ restored profitability; ABP was a saver. But, thank goodness Altior was nrnb otherwise a negative book.
