EASY MONEY: LAY THIS ODDS ON DONKEY, THIS EMBARRASSING HORSE WILL LOSE IN DISGRACE!

If you want some entertainment as well as the easy money from laying the clown, watch the race and giggle your head off as it struggles to get over the first two fences, then falls at the third fence

Must be something wrong with you!

Johnny:

1) The trainer openly admitted the horse is very tiny, read the RP comments on one of its previous races and the videos of it's previous races... it's a DWARF, small horse, or you can call it whatever you want but SIZE MATTERS over the jumps, especially in chase races. While I'm delighted to get free money from laying it, there's no excuse to send a tiny horse over fences when it has a hard time over hurdles.

2) My post is my opinion, it's totally correct and I'm a genius. This will be confirmed after the race, you'll come back and say "wow, you really know your stuff dude".

You seem to be obsessed with size, or a lack of it, and maybe that's a metaphor for your own personal inadequacies.

And you're not a genius, far, far from it. Keep your vulgar and distasteful opinions to yourself in future.

What a disabled person has to do with a horse jumping over a fence beats me.

I'm disabled myself (mentally not physically), but I can function fine and I've got zero points on my driving licence.

Disabled people who've got issues with their legs should be protected, just as disabled horses with leg issues, nobody will disagree with this surely.

This horse does not run normally, it's obvious just as it's obvious when you see a human who's got an issue with walking, they need help, not given silly challenges like put into a chase race or being asked to climb a mountain if the disabled creature is a human.

Just 2 minor details, no meeting at Fakenham today, and Blue Buttons is a point winner, one-from-one.

There's an old saying , " be carful what you wish for ".

Let's hope nothing happens to the horse today.

I hope nothing happens to it either, read my post and you can clearly see that I'm annoyed with the trainer for putting this tiny little thing over the big fences.

Yeah I add some entertainment to it by calling it a dwarf, but calling a horse a dwarf is fine. Just means smaller than most other horses.

One thing that is guaranteed to happen to it is that it'll get beaten, but of course, let's hope it comes out of the race fine and the trainer comes to his senses and never sends the dwarf again over fences.

Blue Buttons jumped well in it point...

Just 2 minor details, no meeting at Fakenham today, and Blue Buttons is a point winner, one-from-one.

Yeah you're right, WINCANTON.

But there's only ONE 3.00pm race so I'm sure most people would've found it. People do follow my suggestions, the last time I posted I gave a 5/2 winner and I insisted it would win easily and it did.

I only bother every few months these days because of jealous clowns like above... reported blah blah... you hurt my fragile little feelings boohoo... I've been here since 2001 and I'm one of the most respected long term members here... I wrote nothing wrong, simply shared valuable information on a lay that will be successful with some humour injected into my post, and I hope people lay it and enjoy the money.

I'd say good luck but luck isn't needed, just sound logic like mine.

Being a Shetland Pony myself I find your post deeply upsetting.

.... and your point about koikeeper's point about the point to point?

Described as a good-topped mare by Timeform who say nothing else about her size. She HAS fallen twice over hurdles but has had 8 runs since the last occasion and has won 3 of them.
One of the first GN winners I remember was Team Spirit in 1964 when the fences were a lot bigger than they are now. He was just 15 hands. I should think anything over 13 hands would be sufficient to cope with the Fakenham fences on that basis.

.... and your point about koikeeper's point about the point to point?

I don't think it has any relevance, this is a serious chase race not a soft point to point, there's a big difference.

It it's been schooled well it MIGHT get round, but it'll be well beaten because of too much effort involved in a tiny horse getting over the fences.

And as I said, the horse is often nervous over hurdles let alone fences, I spent five hours watching videos of it's past runs.

The horse has a strange running motion, and it is a very small horse. These two things are facts, anyone can verify these even if they disagree with me that it'll get beaten (it will lose, but everyone's entitled to their opinion even if their opinion is wrong).

It's better to have someone think you're boring than to have someone think you're a complete oddball, which everyone here now does.

I've made similar posts with similar humour before.

Nobody complains after they see I was spot on and predicted an outcome correctly, the thank you messages flood in.

If you get results you can be odd and eccentric without any issues in my experience.

Not just on this forum, it applies to life in general.

Being called an oddball is actually a compliment to me, it means the humour I injected into my post worked.

And not only have I provided an excellent lay, I've also expanded people's thinking.

Most people will have never heard a small horse called a dwarf before, so I'm opening up people's minds to the infinite possibilities in life.

There's over £700 quids worth of easy money for you there to lay at odds of between 8/11 - 4/5.
I expect you'll snap that up forthwith?

She should outclass this pair IF her jumping holds up, but fair play to you your not a guesser, you made a point (in your entertaining way) why you think her jumping could be suspect. It's all about opinions.......

How much Valium ( its always called Diazepam these days btw ) as a matter of interest ?

Being called an oddball is never a compliment, unless you are, in fact, an oddball.

Nonetheless, Blue Buttons has two opponents today, one of which is described as "only small", so that presumably can't win either.  So why would you not back Cresswell Breeze at 3s instead of laying fave at 8/11?

They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

So it naturally follows that oddsballs are in the eyeballs of the beholder.

I've done backing as well as laying, but it's pointless writing what I've bet as I or anyone could make stuff up.

Everyone should bet at their level in any case, it isn't a competition to see who can place the biggest bets.

She should outclass this pair IF her jumping holds up, but fair play to you your not a guesser, you made a point (in your entertaining way) why you think her jumping could be suspect. It's all about opinions.......

No real guessing involved, I watched five hours of video of her previous runs. Playing the same races over and over again, when you do that you start to pick up on useful specifics in my experience.

Regarding her being in a different class, the official ratings suggest that this is media hype and she doesn't have that much in hand at all strictly on the figures. I place a lot of weight on the official ratings.

Cresswell Breeze getting to within 2.5 lengths of a 143 rated horse on her chase debut, is more solid than her recent hurdle ratings in my opinion which are mostly in the 130's.

Pass The Time has also recorded figures in the 130's on its recent hurdle runs, even if the odds on favourite's jumping did hold up (it won't), it would still be no easy race for her in my opinion.

I predict the favourite will set out to make all, and may well give her backers a false sense of security over the first few fences, but she'll eventually make a mess of a few and while she got away with it often over hurdles, fences are a different ballgame and she'll lose so much momentum it'll be "game over" pretty quickly, the other two will cruise past her and her embarrassed jockey will pull her up to save face, or she'll trail in last. The best case scenario is that Pass The Time doesn't handle the ground and she finishes a distant second, Cresswell Breeze loves the mud and is the most likely winner.

I feel sorry for all the people who've backed Blue Buttons, along with their childish fantasy of Blue Buttons making all of the running from start to finish.

People do have to grow up and accept that Santa Claus doesn't exist at some point in their lives, and the same logic thing applies here, people need to grow up and accept that a dwarf with wobbly legs isn't going to win a chase race.

All they're going to see is this horse blundering the race away, it'll soon be off the bridle and they'll quickly know deep down that it's over.

This is the best case scenario, she may fall or unseat the rider at the first or second fence and get the job done quicker, it's realistic and entirely possible.

Anyway I'll be back after the race is over, please post all your compliments etc below after the dwarf is done (lost).

where is the op's 1st post?

My 101 came up...
