Hi all. I am new as a poster but have followed threads over the past couple of years with interest :) Could it be worth arrnaging the plunge as a bit more of an ante-post approach. Appreciate more risk - but as fun anyway rather than our serious / considered personal investments - why not? I am very much an amrchair punter but happy to get invilved and shift prices!

Just to confirm my understanding is correct...the point of the plunge is seeing if you can all get on at a good price and move the market? But you want to give the information to some people first, make sure you all get the 'good' price and then share with everyone else?!
Out of interest, what sort of price change has there been in recent years? I.E. from the price you put the 'plunge horse up at to SP how many points shorter is they SP on average say over the last 5 years?

The price on most of the plunges over the years has dropped considerably. In at least a couple of cases it's gone off half the price or less. Don't think we've had a winner yet though. And of course, it's nigh-on-impossible to determine how much of the price move is down to the plunge. I suspect very little, especially these days when the traffic on the forum is minimal. At Cheltenham, there's so much money that it takes a fair old whack to move a price.

Some greedy people just can't help themselves - WAIT ffs
Ok, looks like we have a few options. Locked and loaded. A few more private messages and we can decide on the timing
WHAT's THE BEST TIME ? to go-all-in for Tuesdays punt ?
And need time to post the selection on here too
If you you guys aren't going to chuck your stone into the pond until midday Tuesday then it'll need to be a pretty big stone to make a ripple.
I'm not involved, but good luck to you all.
I assume your eventual selection will be in one of the handicaps. Not usually a subset of races I concentrate on, but fwiw this year I've played in 3 (I won't invoke after-timing ire by mentioning prices): Mal Dini (Ultima, NR), A Toi Phil (Pertemps), Fine Brunello (Fred Winter) - so avoid those whatever you do!

Great day today as had backed - Croco Bay 66/1 - Al Boum Photo 12/1 - Minella Indo 50/1 - Ch'tibello 12/1 & Pentland Hills 20/1

Pity COKO was in Elliott's sick yard this week 
Coko Beach....33/1 each way when this thread started....ended up a lot shorter but still a working mans price and nearly won.
Felix Desjy 25/1 down to 10 before the off....great stuff.

COKO BEACH in the Fred at 4.50 - chasssssrge is on
TODAY IN PUNCHESTOWN....should have posted that he was running.
The market got it all wrong in the Ladbrokes Where The Nation Plays Hurdle, as Coko Beach easily defeated the odds-on favourite Bothar Dubh.
While Coko Beach was as short as evens in early shows, he eventually went off at 5/2, with all the money coming for Bothar Dubh (5/2 early, returned the clear 9/10 favourite).
Out on the track, Play The Game and Bothar Dubh took each other on for the lead, with Jack Kennedy happy to sit off the pace in third aboard the Gordon Elliott trained winner.
He closed right up on the front pair from three out and cruised through to lead after the next, keeping on well from there to prevail by eight and a half lengths.
Bothar Dubh had to settle for second under Liam Quinlan for Declan Queally, while Play The Game was a further twenty-three lengths back in third.
The Gigginstown House Stud owned victor finished an excellent second in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham in March and was returning to action for the first time since May this afternoon.
"We knew he'd come on a good bit from it. They went very quick in front and set it up for him really," said Elliott. "If he rode him again he'd be holding on to him a bit longer, he nearly went to the front then too soon. "The horse had a good blow, he's only four and he's a nice horse.
"He's grown a lot from last year and if you look at him he looks like a big chaser. I don't know where we'll go now with him. He'll win races.”
When asked if he could go straight over fences Elliott replied: "He could but the problem is that we have a backlog of chasers and we have to keep a few of them! "I'll talk to the boys and see what they think but he's a nice horse."
