Why I'm laying City of Troy at 1.71

Nice one Mr batt. More dollars flowing down to Waterford. As an aside to the guineas what a thoroughly disgusting card at Newmarket today. No bets for me.

Ignore Rico the helmet……3 million and spouting nonsense on a forum……i would be relaxing with a dame at each side and nice beer…..keep it up now …ffs

BTW Is any forumite eating Aldi Baked Beans for the rest of the year after this?

no they all greened up !

Even allowing for being in the 98% club you won't do your brains on the 3.35 Newmarket on a single Saturday in May , it's just another race for 99.9% of punters and forgotten about in time to watch Lottiemouth hack up for Willie.

AOB has apologised to everyone. The horse apparently got a upset in the stalls (never happens before), according to his pilot.

Fight another day?

Just another early season disaster for favourite backers. Happens most years.

Aldi beans for me:

Nothing wrong with Aldi beans geoff they're quite tasty , Heinz are too rich anyway   

Bought this morning before Gns Hayden in anticipation.

AOB has apologised to everyone.

Did he say what the real target is?

Lol.

To be fair, he has got it engaged over a mile as well.

So he might not have that sure himself.

I promised not to back any of his without a prep (a paid breeze-up) prior to the race itself. However, managed to cash-out at 40% profit for The Derby at 20/1.

WD Eddie, brave lay and guts to put it up knowing you'd get pelters if it won

Cobs -getting pelters for being right is what I can't figure out.

Slickster -JP currently in Walsh Park watching Waterford/Tipp hurling game.If Justify was an all time great he would surely have been at Newmarket.

Well thats rico for you Eddie....Well done.

Rico -I'm beginning to think you weren't loved as a child.Are you the only person who is allowed to be right.Could you not find it in yourself to be happy for me.

If only I knew JP was watching hurling in Ireland. If so, I'd have 'lay' off even more including the Epsom ones.

Rico learned his lesson finally?

Backed City Of Tragedy at 1.02 to be in the first six but kept it to himself?

Nice to be home btw, easy to understand why he spends 24/7 indoors but on here is a mystery.

Why?

eddie,just for you i'll reiterate...

1. Big doubt about the sire and his horses training on as 3yo's.

2.Fairly sure it will drift this morning -could see 1.9 or bigger.

3. Wouldn't be surprised to see him edgy pre race.

4. I'm a degenerate layer of odds on shots.

your No4 reason was spot on wd for that..other 3 comedy gold.

Does not compare with Baaeed at 1.08 getting stuffed as a back tbf!!!!?

Eddie, what was your lay bet compared to your normal bet, or don't you want to disclose?  I think Acey asked earlier. Just trying to get a feel for how impressive your pre race assessment was. An odds on fav gets beat, and no doubt some were not surprised.

Sharon Fury testament to dire ide about gambling so trolling someone who won is indicative of a loser looking for redemption for being a Gnaw bend?

Or just a FSDC?

Btw, your number 1 reason was also mentioned on ITV

Eddie is to be applauded because he looked deeper than simply accepting the hype. Despite the horse definitely having the best 2y0 form on show.
You need more than bare form if you're going to win at this game. That's not to make light of form, which is essential.

Which proved to be spot on.

reasons 2 & 3 been mentioned at the Edinburgh fringe.

Nobody had to look very deep cripping, the trainer form was there for all to see and still they proclaim him a genius?

So You Think, best he ever saw etc?

4/6..much ewe lay tobymug?  i'll tell ewe..

absolutely fck hall..ewe spout some utter sh1te.

Never shirked or lost a challenge from you shafter, the OP might have got a couple of concerns wrong but won.

You cannot compare with even Gaze before the off!!!

I wasn't aware of any comments (best ever ctc.)

AOB said " So You Think is the best I have ever seen" and the theme moved on and endures with a plethora of flops mooted by the genius?

sew ewe didnt lay any 4/6? pmsl..ewe silly aftertimer absolute mug.  now F0@d ydc.

Did you see any post before this thread or even within where I claimed anything?

no,just your normal aftertiming bollixx.

Nothing ever aftertimed though is there?

Unlike you you sad and lonely loser!!!

FACT!!

Rico -in your rage you have failed to see that points 1,2 &3 were all correct.Point 4 was some self effacing humour with an element of truth.

2.Fairly sure it will drift this morning -could see 1.9 or bigger.

3. Wouldn't be surprised to see him edgy pre race.


Eddie Batt 04 May 24 21:28 
Rico -in your rage you have failed to see that points 1,2 &3 were all correct.

keep taking your medication eddie.

where the proof of No1 being factual?

Which point do you disagree with.

rico " lUMP ON 1.08 TO FINISH IN THE FIRST FOUR"


Baeed but rico post race " Greened up when they left the stalls as the ground had changed in the first two strides"

Ditto Sharona lay of the day @ 200/1!!!

Get over backing it Rico, you lost as usual the OP won so nothing new for you!!!

A sad effort Rico but you are another £1O in the hole which of course like Foyles £240 you will never pay because you cannot!!!

keep hoping tobymugs..one day ewe may be korrwrecked. YDC.

WD OP not for your lay which was but for opening a thread what's got the forum going again best one for months.

CagliariG  May 24 11:22
AOB says troy the best he's had,thats good enough for me ive had my biggest ever bet. gl.

fckn pmsl..

Took Rico 10 hours to knock up a template?

He must be slipping or sniffing something unpleasant and damaging!!!

accept the loss and move on.

Would you consider taking that advice yourself Rico.

ok eddie lets move on..you got the dough (allegedly) but your reasonings were seriously wrong or flawed.

wd tho.

Accept this Rico, my last genuine bet £260 @ 13/8 with PP which won by 7L and was 6/5 most books.

Want to punt on the truth?

tobymug fo with ya **** man..knee wuns interested..you talk utter **** 24/7.

24th in div 2 and retired..

point 1 stallion stats -small sample but a potentially useful indicator.

Point 2 -He did drift -he was at least 1.78 this morning -that's a drift
.

Point 3-According to APOB -he got upset in the stalls -which is not like him.

£260 @ 13/8 after time and you not calling me out on it tells all!!!!

You are a sad lonely loser who has no P & L, only L and mega red in the column.

Btw return £682.5 not bad on a general 6/5 shot?

Stirring trouble again Cagliari

the french hoss tommoz in the gns by justify ............ we are justified and ancient !

Again, he's getting angry

The 6 million dollar man will never give praise, sorry the 3 million.....................................

Boring as ****

Very well done E.B.

Good Write up Eddie Hope you got a bit Pay

Well done OP? I wonder if you placed laid too? Never will I believe the OBrian hype machine again!

The horse drifted one here. Someone somewhere knew nothing was all well.

Went off 1.69  hardly a drift when it was higher than that most of the day.

Trident -unfortunately I didn't place lay.
To the lads who were asking how it compared to my normal bet -I would describe it as a double strength bet -I won hundreds not thousands.

The Coolmore boys: Were they really absent at Newmarket on saturday? Apparently, a technical issue with transport prevented the presence of AOB at Newmarket on sunday. Just a mere coincidence?

poor Eddie..4 strong reasons but still wernt convinced it would be 2nd or 3rd.

AOB says it was 'unruly in the stalls'

abso pmsl..it wasnt in the stalls 3 seconds and hardly moved.

Terrible lay Eddie - should surely have done the 4 place lay obviously

Seriously though, great lay to see posted on the forum.

agree he stuck his head over the parapit  not many do , and if it had gone wrong woulda met with plenty of abuse and ridicule!

great lay pmsl.

4 reasons of which 3 were comedy gold.

LOFS.

i dont buy the post but obvious most of that tipster box they had or have woulda been filled with city of troy ok some of his reasons may not have gone down to well with others ,we all have opinions but most were of the opinion cot was the next superstar eddie disagreed and  he got the result and was collecting and thats what mattters !

4 reasons of which 3 were comedy gold.

so foyles with you logic,your reasons for laying could be farcical but as long as you 'allegedly' cop the dough you're entitled to praise?

ffs man pmsl

he was proven right with the lay .......it lost!

send him some flowers.

why didnt you heed his advice foyles and lay it instead of backing it?

curious.

er because i backed the winner and  a few losers in the race ante post as said i am a greedy b,stard and dont get anything out of laying at all ,and before you say aftertiming i put it up on the 2,000 gns thread on the ante post forum. its there for all to see!

Francheska was the only one who had the balls to say it was small, aiden replied it’s big, every one else kept quiet, that was the big negative and didn’t surprise me I’m a big Aiden fan but didn’t have a penny on remembering last year same happened, the small comment worries me, has it trained on well we will know soon

She kept on saying it.

Francesca also made very similar comments about Ramatuelle yesterday in the 1000, she almost won of blistering early fractions, maybe to much is being made of COT size.

Thought I heard Pitterson say the same about the French horse?

To be honest they all weren't impressed with her some reference shaped like a tube of toothpaste.

A hat-trick for you know all and I agree with all three comments. Where's River Tiber gone ? Another job like the lovely filly Ballydoyle in Minding's year.

the MET keep reiterating Madeleine was abducted..

she wasnt.

rico thinks the parents dun it, shums him up to a T.

thank you.

Crackpot....Nay wunder ye canny get a wuman.

Nay wunder ye canny get a winna.

Yawn,what’s up doc?

in aceys case ED.
