It just has to be. Last horse standing and he wins hard-held. Wonderful game.

Arkle 2025 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGkmgdAo4a8 This is worth watching back with yesterday’s Champion chase fresh in mind. Maj was 4/9 and a 5 yr old hadn’t won the Arkle for 19 years since the weights were changed! Brandy you’ll hear Hollies say that Jangeo would of gone for the JLT or whatever, (that’s going back to our was he a second string for Sir Gino discussion) I’m not focusing on that but it’s worth watching to see just how badly outpaced he was before the second last. He ran on and only just got up on the line. Question for you all, did he beat weak a stayer wover two miles? Lord de Skud was well beat over the trip yesterday, faded in this after going in front after Maj skidded. Is he susceptible to being outstayed by a stronger stayers as he seemed to be in the KG, he had every chance to go by but couldn’t. The other two found again towards the line. |

GW is 7/2 for 2027. No issue with his target for sure.

Enjoy today Impossible, there’s lots of other bets between then and now!

Delashay, did you fancy GW then? Whilst the media has been trying to separate those in the finish from the KG, I’d written the winner in my analysis and backed steadily from then on in. Thank you all who were on the journey since the Arkle in ‘24 |

I won on the Festival courtesy of Gaelic Warrior. Also, a couple of antepost trebles going on Pierre Bonnard at Epsom in June (if he shows).

Got something to look forward to then and get your enthusiasm back Impossible, you’ll only get bored down the allotment!

I do not do allotment. I do not do holidays either. One can only shop for essentials so many times a week. I'm hoping to secure a couple of soup-kitchen and a meals-on-wheels gigs for every week. Otherwise, the days could be very long.
My next interest will be the Epsom Derby - no Guineas. Hopefully, Pierre Bonnard has trained on. |

By:
Why no holidays Impossible? And no Guineas? You’re not following AOB and the hype that shortened his to fav?

By:
Not my cup of tea. I can relax in a park in the shade. Also, sleeping in a hotel abroad is just a nightmare for me. I cannot seem to fall asleep.
AOB had so many duds last season in both the early Classics. Even The Derby was a rush job for The Lion In Winter, and Albert is for the brave. I'll skip both the Guineas. I hope Pierre Bonnard turns up at Epsom for a couple of trebles. |

Each as they like Impossible, yeah I like my own pillow, here I’ll take it!
 I like this time of year, having some fancies and seeing how it all progresses, the puzzle is part of the challenge! |
|
By:
The puzzle is one thing I can accept, the shenanigan of the horse's connection is an entirely proposition I find nauseating eg FTF was scratched at the wimp of his owner in the Ryanair. It scuppered my chance of a possible double with Pierre Bonnard for £5 double at 2/1 and 8/1 respectively.

three trunners out of 5 selections is not bad-if you nominated the right races. Still 0 from 5 wins though which is the same as my record from just 3 ante post bets. 0 from 3. Once in a blue moon somebody gets 20/1 a/p about a 5/2 winner on the day and remember it but the best time to bet is after the first obstacle has been jumped imo.
