All weather finals day

indeed joseph.  they've manufactured it rather well. 

3 favs under 2/1.

Absolutely magnificent card at Newcastle

Facts I honestly believe you won’t see a better card until the opening day of royal Ascot.

Is this some sort of religious thing ?

Do not normally bet on the synthetic stuff, will make an exception today, just at Newcastle.

Each way double on 2 King Power runners, Fantastic Fox & Power of Destiny both 10/1.

Good luck.

Agreed and there has been a proper build up of qualification for the races which reduces the chance of a £1million purchase being parachuted in from abroad (or from Coolmore) It is not that long ago that there was no racing on Good Friday and those who prefer a racing free day need not turn on their computer or TV or read their paper. Be grateful that a course can put up £150k per race and attract so many good horses in competitive races. Would you prefer level weights with 4 runners? Not sure the other 2 meetings add very much but again if you are not enthused, don't watch. Spend the day doing someting useful like helping older neighbours with jobs, litter picking your neighbourhood or just relaxing with a book. And Andrew Balding has plenty of runners at Newcastle which is my main betting interest at the moment.

GL barstool. I've backed Heathcliff 3.35 but the King Power runner won the race last year
and I always fear previous winners.

My head is spinning looking at the 6 furlong sprint narrowed it down to 10 shame the great big gossey hasn’t travelled over although my head would have spun even more

Thanks saddo, good luck with Heathcliff, probably has most to fear from the top weight.

"Classic Trials"

No decent nag ever won them with Elmaamul being the exception.

Stop whining lads, we never had any racing full stop on Good Friday.

someone mentioned skybet paying extra place in 19 of 21 races i think.I may be wrong but i think that means you dont get best price guarantee in these races and they knock the prices down at least a point under others.

The prize money on offer for this meet is daft.
You are talking about Royal Ascot types of rewards for winning one of these.
Just what is the point?
The All weather championships is never going to be an event on the social calendar so why chuck so much dosh at it when it would be better spent raising the prize pots on ordinary midweek cards?
You could offere £20k to the winner and still get competitive racing.

Anyway not complaining with Berkshire Whisper at 8.6 yesterday

what time does that 1 run?

OK wonder I have also backed 3 more Balding runners today so you can scoff when they get beaten. As I must have made it clear most weeks for 5 years that I back about half of all the yard runners. Do I really have to post them all to avoid the aftertiming tag? Being serious for a minute, the only 2 of Andrew's that have underperformed in the past 2 weeks were New Century and Bellum Justum. Why? Because they were sent over to the US in the winter probably. And yes I did back them both this week.

same here Whallop,

Likewise whallop and elis. No interest in a load of AW hcps. Didn't even bother to turn it on.
Had there been proper championship racing, level weights , such as they used to have at Lingfield on Good Friday then it would have been of more interest.

not to worry another 30 or so rubbish hcaps tomorrow, no wonder coolmore and nullins are laughing at us

On AW showcase day the best out there is a 100-rated horse and yet almost half the races run on the flat each year are on the AW.

47 £1e/w bets on a 200-1 shot, a massive £10 grand payout for those poor chappies........it's fair to assume they would've taken a little bit more on the race and every multibet up and down the land would have had a loser in it.
