ed dunlop,thanks for nothing.

Absolute disgrace. No mention of it being a "strong renewal" when Hanagan was booked.
I`ve long since given up ap betting because of situations like this and Canford in the QE2.

If he tried to mislead the public any more, he couldnt have. Pretty dispicable to lure punters with yesterdays meat only to have this today. He knows full well its not a strong renewal; thats why the horse was there in the first place. I guess its more humiliating for Hanagan though

Awful decision and punters who backed her should be refunded. I haven't backed it myself. For that man to pull it out so soon after saying it was a runner is a bad advert for flats. The silver spoon brigade should show a certain level of courtesy to the punters who fund the sport that they make a living from.

I will never back another of his horses again ante post or not.
he has a shiite record anyway.

He never said she was a definite starter though, according to this article in the racingpost.

Cautioning that Snow Fairy, who is set to race in Japan next month, was not yet a definite Champion starter, Dunlop said: "We are by no means certain runners at this stage. We haven't ruled it in and we haven't ruled it out.

"We have a plan of taking her to Japan and I need to speak to the owner and we will see what is going to run. The filly is very well and ready to run, but it is a very competitive race. The decision will be made tomorrow morning."

Bad form.

Agree,not happy about this at all tbh,don't get involved much with AP betting,did this time though   and this example was one of the reasons i cut back .

Yes agree turnips,done my money as well,insider trading.

Had a chat with the man once - an arrogant tosser !

^ that is clearly coming through

disgrace . the toff kunt

Ed Dunlop you are a f******g disgrace. Typical of a guy born with a silver spoon in his mouth he is completely ignorant of the betting public and the world outside Newmarket.
How can he book Hanagan and allow it to be all over the press on Tuesday without commentating Snow Fairy will not run, only for it to be withdrawn today "as it's to hot a race"
If the bookies do not refund bets placed in the last week  it's a disgrace, akin to stealing.
I've had enough of this game .

waited and when Hannigan was jocked up had £200 on.
could'nt believe it when not in the final decs,1 day later.
Gutted.

fantastic trainer though isn't he ?

I now he is not always a punters friend, but as far as I am aware, at least he doesn't break the rules.

^

This is like Fight Club though.

"In horse racing there are no rules", or at least there don't appear to be.

of course there are rules, Dunlop just has not broke any, imo.

Perhaps the bookies wouldn't lay the prices they did midweek if there wasn't a chance of her being pulled out? The lack of connection between the chance of non runner and desperation to get a better price does amaze me sometimes. Sure it's lesson learnt though.

As someone that watches the money fairly closely as a (admittedly limited) betting tool I would say that ED's stable is the worst I have ever seen for unsuccesful punts in maidens and nurseries in fact they back virtuaklly everything and their strike rate is appalling.

I dont think he is misleading anyone - I genuinely believe he hasn't got a frigging clue what he is doing.

Yep, I'm sure that dual Oaks winner a fluke, oh wait...

Is The Oaks a nursery or a maiden then? That's news to me.

He clearly has a clue what he's doing though when you said he didn't, hth

He knows when to supplement anyway
