Soumillon has been offered the Title of british Champion Jockey to stop him going to court to sue the BHA for wrecking his chances of the French Title.
Hard luck wee eck,but that`s racing in the mad world of Paul Roy.       

when to trade?

FD. lay sousa now at 10s for a bet to nowt or shop around for 5s Fallon and 4-11 Hanagan, you know

it makes sense, get a guaranteed bit of profit, it warms ones heart.  Good luck[;)]

salmon, that it for me then, the whole bank risked on this one

I think the gap will close today, I dont really fancy Hanagan think he nearly broke himslef last year plus Fahey cant have too many more reasonably handicapped ones can he? Fallon if he wants it will be the danger

but the 4 day ban is a fecking pain

When does the championship finish? Doncaster on 5/11?

FD I have just had another look at your figures, am I right in thinking that Sousa wins you over £7000?

if so you must hedge because if he does not knock in a canny few winners before his holiday starts he

will be nearly unlayable when he returns.  Imo act now.

I'd be tempted to agree with Wee eck (well played btw Sir in this market).

I've got an interest in SDS (no trading although I did think about it when SDS went neat to Evs a few months ago) albeit much smaller and I do think this ban may being the undoing. Ideally he needs a couple today, tomorrow and Tuesday to bring himself level with Hanagan. Then when he's suspended we need a glut of unfancied winners and for PH and even KF to be no further than 5 clear. If this happens, the scrap can begin...

FD, Willie Haggas likes Hanagan he will find him one or two, of that I am sure.

160 odd winners wins this thing this year I would bet on that so Hanagans lead

is crucial at this stage, that is no doubt why he is a 4-11 chance.

           Once again the best of luck in whatever you decide to do.[;)][;)]

not far off i have edited the bet a bit cos it took so long to get the £200 on at those prices, its also proving tricky to lay off as there is no liquidity, I will wait until the end of todays racing as I expect SDS to have at least one winner


it averages out to about 36.5s @ £200 which is a tidy £7300

Best of luck FD. Come on SDS!!

FD, I layed a 10 50s this morning put it up in bits and pieces, you might get a pleasant surprise.

3foot among my bets is a £100 on DeSousa at 7-4, swings and roundabouts.

W\D WEE ECK

cardiffc, blowing own trumpet again, not bad for a 78 year old.

not bad! excellent.

watchit, was not too hot on the trumpet or bugle but was a dab hand on the ivories.[;)]

FD, Start laying.

Be brave FD. Unless he goes evens...

nah theres another one at least perhaps 2 mate, one not for MJ

*or odds on!!

I hope you are proven right.

i will be laying at 6/4ish but wont take the steak back

great bet, well done Wee Eck

FD, you have a heck of a way to go, but as they say fortune favours the brave, best of luck.

got my steak back off El Dececy there and a bit more, as i sayed will take a green book 50/50 when below 2/1 I honestly think it will be that close, but i would fecking kick myself if i traded away a bet like this

FD every person does what he thinks is best for him, I have always been

of the profit taking school. I cannot ever see DeSousa being 6-4 in the

race for leading jockey, but in this game who knows.  Best of luck.

These are the strike-rates for the last few months. Figures show numbers of wins, losses and win percentages.

Wealth warning: I've just knocked these up. If they were for my own betting, I'd take more care with double checking, and exclude foreign wins and maybe take SP and field size into account.

Rafeej. gl FD. I'm on, hope I'm not a johnah.

cash coming for the last one i half fancied....

Interesting stats, Ram.

I still can't accept that SDS should be twice the price of Fallon.

its all down to the 4 day ban and how much MJ wants to help him imo (3 days really cos one day there is no flat racing)

Isn't he banned 19th,20th,21th and 24th which is 4 days of flat racing.

3foot is correct

Any doubt about Fallon making it to Windsor tomorrow?

He's riding in Canada later tonight.

I suppose it's physically possible to get from A to B in twelve hours, but not without being jetlagged and massively sleep-deprived.

SDS has 5 days suspension to serve which is reflected in the odds.

will k fallon s de sousa be riding in the melbourne cup?

Blackwater. No worries about lack of sleep. Jockeys can take things to overcome such problems.

will k fallon s de sousa be riding in the melbourne cup?

SDS has opted not to go. Fallon, I assume, the same.
