wtf is secretgambler doing on the antepost forum? Failed antepost gambler gets one pin job on Guineas right after looking in here to try and learn how to do it thenthe world is his oyster. lmfao.

secretgambler has 20quid on Makfi no doubt amongst other guesses in last years Guineas. His bet this year also suggests he is not at all with the big boys but is a small time punter looking to place tenners to win hundreds with his pin. Not the kind of person to have the courage to back his own judgement to five figures up to a year before the race ... have to hand it to him though those last few posts were hilarious. Thank god he's blocked me saves talking to that mug on here.

That's a pretty dumb statement.

How can you account for watering policies or withdrawn horses and starting delays in ante-post betting?
Answer? You can't.
By following your logic, you'd never back a fast ground horse ante-post for fear of soft ground and so on.
By pure chance, the 1000 Guineas has been affected by extraneous factors 2 years in a row, and I personally don't think Mr Head and Bonilla's complaints carry much weight this year beyond sour grapes.  These things happen and could do in any race on any course.

You might as well argue what's the point backing in this year's 2000 Guineas cos Frankel was going to win, and you probably will.

What is the total stake in your 1000 Guineas book now JamesP, mine is 5k ?


stakes '5k' and still misses the winner and still comes out with just 600 loss[smiley:crazy]





and as for frankel, thats even worse, the horse of the century who he says he sasnt backed for the guineas(in sept: by then he was about 7/4, hes totally missed the boat)and THEN advocates backing him for the derby where isnt even going to get a run, which he was told months ago by me and others he wouldnt even run

this must be the worst antepost gambler of all time

i thought it was about seeing in to the future eric and u only 'backed' him for derby at big prices and didnt for the guineas


what a fookin wally

Eric - for the record I laid off my bet on Moonlight Cloud about 3 minutes before the off, and I only left a lay bet in running on Maqassid so ifI'd been wrong and she hadn't traded short I wouldn't have even got matched.

I really think we need to adopt the American policy like with Osama - instead of allowing this deluded crazy loon the chance to defend himself at a trial we should just shoot Eric in the head and dump his body at sea

So if you bet a horse & lay off straight away its arbing.
But if you hold on to the day of the race(carrying the risk hardly risk when you have enough darts to tranquilise an elephant) & lay it off it isnt.

Unbelievable.
Hes gutted secretgambler with 1 arrow hits the bullseye whilst he had a quiver full of arrers & hit sweet f.a
Would have broke even mind if he handt scrwd his account funds up.
Ultimate pro not
Comedy Gold  yes.
Uncle please dont take the Osama route it aint funny (Eric is)

Didn't have any doubles involving the 1000.

Not sure whether anyone would want to take the risk, but I'm told that Memory will definitely go for the French 1000 Guineas after going through the stalls at home.

Fascintaing how Helleborine goes tommorrow. Why there is no betting yet ?

I was expecting Helleborine to be favourite for the Pouliches, but she's not well drawn (in stall 11 of 16).  Even so, she looks overpriced at around 6/1.  The favourite Golden Lilac commands great respect, but her winning time in the Prix de la Grotte was very slow (about 4 seconds slower than the colts' equivalent race, the Prix de Fontainebleau, on the same card).  It will be interesting to see how Rimth and the Guineas 3rd and 4th (Maqaasid and Nova Hawk) get on.  A shame that Memory is missing.
