wd apoc.

comisertaions pebbles, looked like he would have won there, hope the horse is OK, got a future imo.

Cheers sint, though I'm not convinced NP would have won. Prob a v close finish.
Not a nice thing to see so I hope the horse is OK.

Both have big futures imho

[:D]

And MDH doesn't

That is a crying shame, looked a real prospect a couple of seasons back

Sint,think it would have been close-RD been under-rated all year.

Well done apoc on Realt

Far be it for me to tell the legend that is Willie Mullins how to train horses, but he has made a right pigs ear with MDH. You just dont put noivce chasers into G1 company first time out, no matter how good they are. It is utter arrogance and not even Paul Nicholls does that. He loves the Graded chases and if it means winning a non-event a Plumpto first of all then that is exactly what he'll do. PumpKing.

3pts win Whatuthink 16/1 bills
1pt e/w A New Story 33/1 bills

Blackstairmountain made Betfair history at Fairyhouse on Monday when becoming the first horse to be beaten on three separate occasions after trading at 1-100 in running.

He traded at the price when beaten by Luska Lad at this meeting last year, and was again downed after being backed at 1-100 when beaten by the aptly-named Rick at Punchestown in January.

And lightning struck for the third time after he snatched defeat from the jaws of victory when outbattled by Voler La Vedette.

Betfair spokesman Tony Calvin commented: "You would have thought his in-running backers would have learned their lesson by now, but it appears not.

"He is probably the least favourite horse of the in-running backers, but most definitely the punters pal for the layers."

Thats the third time BSM has traded at 1.01 !! Unlucky lads

Been fun guys, well done to all who showed a decent profit- Hemsby, Chelsea, Trev, Pebbles- all great judges. Plat- not the same withour you bombing them in- it'll come back.
With 150 odd points from the Flat it has been a good twelve months on here and highly enjoyable. Am giving it a rest for a bit and may not post on the Flat thread this season, but may well make a comeback for the Jumps!
Finally to Liam The Lips- yer a bollix!

My calculator is bust ya bollox [:(]

Without doubt ive returned a minus figure

Wd to all those in profit, some seriously good performances

Roll on Galway

final balance +38.75

wd to anyone who managed a profit

useful seeing the mixed approaches that others take and i would be happy if i was half as good as some on here

i see that some of you are taking a break during the flat season - looking at my efforts this year to date (and last year!) i should probably join you
