Is he any good?
Where would i get his historical picks,,,, He pricked my ears when he said Honeysuckle couldn't win the 2023 mares hurdle.

And then today he said Flooring Porter couldn't win...

He is sometimes on a podcast called upping the ante, well worth a watch

Upping the Ante returns to the Racing Post Youtube channel on Tuesday, 7th November, or in a week and a half.

@ Formoftheaces
based on.... ?

His opinion cannot be great if he completely wrote off Flooring Porter on chasing debut and now is 10/1 to win at the festival.
I think the best opportunity for a classy hurdler is to win on his chase debut... they mightn't do much else after.

This must be the opportunity to mine his selections!!

I don't mind so much people tipping other sports...

But call out the good players before they become famous.
Who is the next Sachin Tendulkar, Roger Federer, Wayne Grezty, Stephen Hendry amongst the current under 12's?

He's always bigging up his selections. I hope he's betting with his own money otherwise karma will catch up with him sooner rather than later.

He often naps a Mullins/Townend odds on fav in a novice hurdle and they often lose.

I no longer read him
Report comingupthehill October 28, 2023 8:37 PM BST
He’s pretty good,knows a lot. He said at last years festival,Nichols wouldn’t have more than 1 winner,he had 2 so was only out by 1.he knows his onions,plus entertaining.always has winners.

I could have told you that about Nicholls, he wins very little at the festival nowadays
Report strontium October 28, 2023 8:57 PM BST
So he was only wrong about Nicholls by 100%?

Any other podcasts worth listening to?
I've not listened to "upping the ante" yet,,,
Report brandyontherocks October 28, 2023 11:29 PM BST
I think it is impossible to judge these "pundits" that you see on YouTube or racing channels/papers.

They have to pick horses for Cheltenham months in advance or the big races shown on terrestrial TV.

Most of us know it is impossible to have an opinion on every race, so will only specialise in a certain division of racing.

As entertainment value, Jonny is right up there.

Does not take himself seriously and sees it for what it is.

Road to chelt always good.

There are some shockers.they drone on and seem to be doing it from their bedroom.

A lot of jumps fans,chelt fans,will listen to anything anyway,so even the shockers are worth listening to.

Do they do money back if tipping a loser? These charlatans are voicing for their paymasters ie the bookies.
Report mitolo October 29, 2023 7:38 PM GMT
dineen has strong opinions but he never specifies wht price he is laying or backing

did he lay porter at 6/4? or the nicholls thing he was dead against that also won. if so, hes had a bad day

aside from that hes ok and at least hes there to look foolish, as he frequently does
Report mitolo October 29, 2023 7:40 PM GMT
usual bollox from unbearable321

you think dineen is paid to give out losers?
Report comingupthehill October 29, 2023 7:43 PM GMT
They are employed to stimulate interest,to offer a view.what else can they do.say nothing,it would be a bit boring if no one commented on a race for fear of tipping a loser.

Mitolo.
All about opinion  I took 2 on laid flying porter and the one of Nicholls for more than I would  normally  do thought  I would have to lay evens and 6/4 ending  up laying  13/8 and  5/2.thought to myself  how on earth did I lay  them prices.

all about opinions indeed ronald. one of me fave cliches

fazackerley. i was looking to be against both meself but the prices i had to lay were simply too big, so i let them go. unusual for a mug like me. but its all about choc ices
Report duffy October 29, 2023 8:22 PM GMT
Here's a question, if the prices became too big to lay for any individual do they then by definition automatically become backs or is there a little space, like no mans land before they reach the back price?
Report mitolo October 29, 2023 8:31 PM GMT
good q

im too opinionated to do that. i wont back certain horses no matter what, porter being one. in theory, it was 1/2

prob is if something goes for a ball of chalk you think its not off or something is wrong and when it wins you are slapping your forehead. coragh rambler on sat was one on sat. i place laid it too big but got away with it
