Impossible to play in a race in which he has a short priced runner - let alone two. Southwell 15 10.
On more serious note on what basis had the handicapper allocated a mark to these previously unsighted horses.?Ridiculous.

Totally bonkers situation although without getting too clever have a big juicy green having laid @3.8
The issuing of handicap marks does need to rethought. |

something fishy going on here

I know AP works for the mob but have always been surprised by his links to this yard. Imo it does tarnish his image and just don't see why he needs to be involved albeit he tends to ride the horses after the handicap mark has been sorted.

you gotta be inspired to take the price about Saint Helena ,but not the other one

the end of your post answers the dilemma imo! |

wont Rhys struggle with 10.8 ?
|

By:
Any chance Rhys will be held up in traffic?
|
|
By:
considering he hasnt ridden for a while - highly likely

the "McCoy" bluff strategy, bookies done up like kippers.
any wonder we cannot get bets on anymore ? |
|
By:
Fair point, hard to prove these things but really not very helpful to the sport and would love to see some serious action.
|
|
By:
The handicapper should add the official BHA 40lbs to the flat mark if the horse has yet to figure in novice hurdles. This would encourage the likes of Best to try a little harder with them!

McCoy will be on the fav now, shock horror

You've got to be impressed by the amount of times Mattie Batchelor's car didn't break down when he's been getting Saint Helena a nice handicap mark.

Imo it does tarnish his image and just don't see why he needs to be involved albeit he tends to ride the horses after the handicap mark has been sorted. He's part of the untouchables, he can do what he likes and the BHA will never question him. I don't think Best can be considered as the equivalent as Curley though. |

McCoy's strike rate with Jim Best is over 55% in all races this year

TONY McCOY will ride Saint Helena, who has been heavily-backed this morning, at Southwell this afternoon after his original mount, the Jim Best-trained stablemate Into The Wind, was declared a non-runner due to the going. |
|
By:
once the inevitable jockey change occurs shouldnt the bha have the power to step in and order the withdrawal of this horse in order to prevent an obvious stitch up and yet another dark stain on a rapidly declining industry
|
|
By:
what the hell is going on here please?
all i do know is McCoy has an over 50% strike rate with Jim so expect a win here what ever the handicap mark does the non runner effect anything anyway? |
|
By:
SIR_Bond, the withdrawal of Into The Wind makes the jockey switch legitimate.
|
|
By:
We have seen these lose though still unless they are laying off before the race
Matty has done a good job on this one you seen the form over 300L beaten |
|
By:
It would be interesting to know whether either Into The Wind or Rhys Flint ever set off for Southwell this morning.
|
|
By:
this will be odds on soon
|
|
By:
did anyone back it before the withdraw? what did the odds get reset to?
|
|
By:
Rhys Flint sat at home with his pay check in the post imo
|
|
By:
Stable links will be getting paid after this wins
|
|
By:
Or Anorak what would the reason have been for withdrawal if the ground had not got livelier.
|
|
By:
BHA / JC will do nothing as usual, biggest name in the sport is untouchable and Best knows it.
|
|
By:
Fair play to Best why not do it
I would, this sport is Rancid all over |

I just pray that Bob Cooper is at Southwell today asking the little sht lots of pointed questions!

I'm sure I'm not alone I'm hoping, without having the incentive of a financial interest either way, that this gets stuffed.
