May i ask you where you think BDA will go i know you have backed her at 10s sad to say i have laid her at 10s Regards Ronnie. |

Morning Ronnie. I’d imagine 10 winners will be odds on (maybe 4/7). Looking at the race markets GB could have best tally in years.
I’m pretty sure Brighterdays will run in the Mares. Why take on Cons Hill and Lossie apart from the spectacle. If either dropped out then she would be rerouted most Biggest argument I’ve seen is that she needs to get a win at Cheltenham Festival after loss last year. Much better going into chasing career with a win rather than 2nd or 3rd which is very possible if taking Cons Hill and Lossie. She would be 1/3 for Grade 1 success as well. Market seems to be pointing this direction. |

Wondering what made you lay her ? Or was she one of many ?

Added to the portfolio again.
Similar to Ballyburn going Arkle, I can’t see Yellow clay going Turners looking at opposition. Albert B seems to tick lots of boxes for this strong staying Novice. 10/1 was fair following Gordon saying he’d go shorter race. Other bets are Lulamba following UTA 10/1 although I’ve backed secret horse I’m not posting yet from same yard. Also added Olympic Man 10/1 NH Chase NRNB. This could be very good bet if gets qualified. Finally I’ve had a couple of biggish NRNB on Brighterdaysahead on Champion at 9/4 to further cover Mares position. Still think Mares is where she’ll end up. Will review situation over next weeks. |

Great your portfolio is expanding and Lulamba is going to be interesting. Also your secret horse that is great yeah you may want to take more of that at a decent price i understand.
Really wise on Brighterdaysahead we don’t really know with her there are some extra tight cards held to chest this year by connections really. You have a wide race coverage which is excellent for entertainment value it is more than just a financial experience you feel achievement and more excitement for longer like that. Mine is going to be a narrower band of races this time than last year. The next few weeks is going to be a helter-skelter ride for most of us before we even get there where corrections may be needed to get to the Festival patched up and ready to go. |

Ballyburn is now in my swerve list there are a lot of uncertainties about him with regards trip and ability against others that may be physically catching up with him. Think this is an issue for connections as well re target uncertainty so not ideal antepost.
Also his jumping not so sure. |

b365 going 25% on all races, bar the big 5. Not too bad, especially for higher priced picks.
|
|
By:
Is it just first selection ? Couldn’t see any info.cheers
|
|
By:
It is 1 boost on 5 races bar the big 5.
It is is 2nd last on the bonus banner. If you pick a horse, it should offer you the boost. |
|
By:
Cool. That’s not bad.

By:
Nope and NRNB on big 5 races

I put £5 on Redemption Day here at 90/1 and now the price has crashed to 31/1. I must know something, I don't know about. It will probably not even run.

Eric the words you spoke regarding Ballyburn we're word for word that Johnny Dineen spoke on recent edition of upping the ante
|
|
By:
Ah well total coincidence then i’ve never heard of him or watched that
|
|
By:
I understand you've never watched that but never heard of him WALOFS
|
|
By:
Why would i have heard of him i dont listen to tipsters if he is one of those.
|
|
By:
I just looked him up ok so he is a punter who appears on an antepost show. One of many people i had never heard of.

BDA drifting on Champion Market and strong on Mares. Anything been said or posted by connections ?
|
|
By:
Not aware of anything new Hib. SUppose all will be revealed if she runs @ DRF . Otherwise it will be a guessing game until decs.

Thought Ballyburn did what he needed at DRF. Townend never looked concerned and won going away. Fingers crossed he gets there now as multiple bets at much bigger odds.
With Sir Geno out which is really sad the Arkle is much more open contest. Marlborough isn’t a bet at current odds and with stiffer Cheltenham fences to contend with I’d swerve. Not seen L’de sud last race but happy enough with 10/1 ew. Might be some value in the market so will take a look. Watched replay of Final Demand and he looked impressive. Not seen latest on Yellow Clay but surely Gordon would be mad running against New Lion and him now. Albert Bart has to be where he goes…..please Only other bet I’m trying to get on is Ilikethewayurthinking for Gold Cup if can get right EW price and access bookie from Australia. Surely they will add to field and trip looks like will bring improvement after staying on in Irish Gold Cup. |

You are looking good to go with your current portfolio and a very brave man going in on Ballyburn :)
I may have another bet nearer the time as the prices are gone now. Main bet placed a year ago i have put last years winnings on a double where the second leg Galopin Des Champs 3/1 is now odds on. Hoping for luck on the first leg which i am not revealing on here in case the jonas on here get on my case. I will win six figures if the bet comes in. Also have some smaller bets and hopeful treble on. Good luck |

By:
Good luck mate. Think I can work out which the other horse is
I’m not working out any winnings but have laid off bit of my BDA mares bet to pay for whole of Cheltenham including memberships, seats and accommodation. Thought I had to get something out of backing her since March…step on a stone and incredible position becomes a nightmare. Still want her to win Mares but covered Champion at big odds before she beat State Man back in Nov. Just waiting game now.  |
|
By:
Thanks. Yeah i don’t think it’s the horse you are thinking as that is a different double. I won’t elaborate any further on that one lol.
You have done exactly the right thing with BDA as when connections think they know they don’t really know until the opposition picture becomes clearer in the week or teo before the meeting. Sir Gino has taught us that already. Have a great time there i only have a ticket for the Friday but not sure if i will be getting the train in. Maybe if the double is on i will go. |
|
By:
ah well 12 months on and despite still thinking i made sound choices (the best horses) it is much the same this year on events out of my control (switching late, fallers, fence-hitters) so i am likely going to lose last years profit and a couple of grand more.
antepost doesn’t seem an attractive proposition now especially with late shenanigans creating false trades on here for double entries to get similar prices near the race when insiders know horses form and targets more than you do compared to a year before when they dont have a clue. |

By:
Yer know yer Faniced Lossiemouth & Golden Ace strongly. Just not in the races they ran in.
Im not gloating as they wiped a four figure sum off my profit. |

Just got back from 5 days at Cheltenham and 4 days holiday.
Mixed results over Cheltenham but surprisingly had one of my best betting weeks even though my two biggest antepost horses completely blew out. BDA or Cons H winning would have been huge. My biggest win ever at Cheltenham. I must have been the only person who had a bet on Golden Ace at 80/1 who was just watching in disbelief…. I was obviously on New Lion at 40/1 and Inothewayimthinking 10/1 which were amazing but also hit Jango Baie doddiethegreat, kargese, jasmin de Vaux during the week. I’ve decided to go with Lulamba Arkle as my post Cheltenham antepost horse at 10/1. Will back over next few months. |

I've 3 for 2026 eg Sir Gino (CH), Fact To File (air) and Inothewayurthinkin (GC). One 'lay' is Lossiemouth (CH).
