Maybe the ruling needs changing,cant blame a trainer for giving owners every chance of a run.
Supposing Doncaster is off.

yeh,it aint fair on him for sure

Sorry,just noticed hes a non runner at Doncaster.

Calgary Bay is obviously ripe for a run,has to be onside at that price imo

almost the same scenario with Calgary Bay last year - re-routed from Donny to finish fourth in this, Donny off last year though.

but your bets on before friday night?
happens to me all the time that a end up picking a pricewise horse and you lose all the value.

Well done otis, that should give you a LIFT, get it.

My two were both trading at 6 in running and less until both made bad jumping errors Great Endeavour and salut Flo

add that to Rileyev getting hampered and then headed on the line...  not happy

bazzar, i'm so happy with that run in and result that i'll let you off with that :DDDDD

like most e/w punts,comes 5th.

Seems crazy that having Gerraghty on a horse instead of McCoy shoul0 dsee it drift - other than on really lazy types like Wachita Linesman I'd pick Gerraghty every single time.

I was in charge of the Ballymore Hurdle thread a few years ago and made QuantitativeEasing my early pick before he'd even jumped in public

moral winner you have to get up the hill stevo ihad 100 at 8's quant and in the past i've had plenty of moral winners

and GE backers in the PP cant count themselves lucky Noble Alan unseated.

Jumping is the name of the game, im afraidn, and Quant was a worthy winning.

The weight usually tells in the later part of races so THERE IS NO WAY OF KNOWING if GE would have beaten Quant. There was a long way to go.

Boy wonder Roudoudou Ville travelled best in race thats all im saying, had saver on winner 8s with Grandeout and Mossley doubles and treble, so still happy!!!

I have a strong feeling that we might see Quantativeeasing over hurdles in the coral cup at the festival. Even though I backed him - his jumping was terrible - so slow over every fence. With a mark of 139 over hurdles I think he'll p1ss up - gonna try and get a nice antepost price for it

giggitygiggity, that's a bit harsh. Just watched the race again and Quantitativeeasing jumped superbly bar the first down the back, in fact you could say his jumping won him it in the latter part of the race. You sure you haven't mixed up your McManus colours?

Tatie I know i'm being a bit harsh as you always get ultra critical when you've had a big bet on a horse and his jumping was my only concern before the race. I know he didnt make catastrophic mistakes but I dont think he is natural jumper who pings the fence and gets away from the fence quickly. In his races over fences he seemed to be losing a length every fence - it could be argued he was just outpaced and needs a step up in trip.

My point is that if he gets raised 8lb for his win that would mean he is rated a stone less over hurdles and it must be an option for connections to put him back over hurdles for the festival.

Worth keeping an eye on the entries when they come out

4th one down on this one,he's got 7s.

yeah I see that but it didn't look like the whole post.

lets give Giggity the benedit of the doubt

Thanks for that benefit of the doubt! LOL

First tip in response to OP 4 days before race, one line and one horse mentioned, comment about xmas coming early and no less than 3 excited smiley faces!

I hope you forgive me for that monumental bit of aftertiming and have tried to make up for it by tipping him for a hurdles race 3 months in advance
