We've had some great sporting rivalries down the years....Ali v Frazer, Borg v McEnroe, England v Germany, Madrid v Barcelona, England v Australia, Hunt v Lauda. But the Whippin v Wonders Betfair betting challenge looks set to eclipse all those mentioned!

I'm currently on -1.00 after Monarch's Gold failed to defy his lofty opening mark at Newcastle on Friday and of course it had nothing to do with him being badly hampered and stumbling at the start. Devil

I won't be adding many selections to the thread until the Turf season starts but I'm prepared to risk a point on an admirable old boy at Wolves this evening. With his run style, he'll obviously need a bit of luck in running but he has a decent draw and the race should be run at a sound pace which will no doubt suit him better than it did for his first 2 races this AW season. Those were better races than this one and I'll saw enough from him to suggest he retains enough ability to pick up another race like this one. A race where bar the favourite (Zoulu Warrior) they struggle to string two good runs together. The last time Sullivan took the took the ride, it resulted in a win over CD from the same mark he races off this evening. At 20/1 he's worth a play

7.00 Wolverhampton - Brian the Snail (1pt @ 20/1)

Just a bit of fun Wonders but yeah lets see how it goes.
Report wondersobright January 19, 2026 6:53 PM GMT
before this starts you want SP or BSP? win only or e/w allowed to traditional terms? and is it 1pt per bet (or 0.5pt e/w if e/w) or any points allowed?
Report uptheirons January 19, 2026 6:53 PM GMT
Fine if that is what floats your boat
Report Whippin Piccadilly January 19, 2026 6:58 PM GMT
I bet 0.5 - 2pts I'll post my matched bet and settle at both that price and BSP. How about yourself?
Report Whippin Piccadilly January 19, 2026 6:59 PM GMT
Already in profit with an easy trade out if I want........but I won't!

cant be 2 settlements
Report Whippin Piccadilly January 19, 2026 7:04 PM GMT
I'll post a matched bet then. No BOG allowed
Report Whippin Piccadilly January 19, 2026 7:07 PM GMT
If you rather we settled at BSP? I don't mind
Report wondersobright January 19, 2026 7:08 PM GMT
matched bets posted that's fine
0.5-2pts win only that's fine also
Report wondersobright January 19, 2026 7:10 PM GMT
there's transparency with SP or BSP everyone can see it but sometimes like this horse tonight you like it @ 25 its returns near 16 late move would you still have played @ 16?
I don't mind either as long as its consistent
Report wondersobright January 19, 2026 7:12 PM GMT
probably go with BSP because could in theory place bet wait see if price collapses then post it or not post it if drifts
not that you did that here all above board
Report Whippin Piccadilly January 19, 2026 7:17 PM GMT
Exactly. I wouldn't have played if I couldn't have got 20/1+ That's why I was thinking settling at both prices just for information purposes really
Report Whippin Piccadilly January 19, 2026 7:19 PM GMT
Of course there will be times when the BSP beats my matched price Devil

Brian The Snail was retired after its previous run.
Report CagliariG January 19, 2026 8:44 PM GMT
A mystery then swifty? Ran tonight with the same trainer as his previous run?
Report swiftynifty January 19, 2026 9:05 PM GMT
They always think they might get a final win but they did say that December run would be his last... but he ran OK in it. Not the first time we've seen this.
Report Whippin Piccadilly January 19, 2026 11:10 PM GMT
On tonight's showing, it might be time to retire him now

Unless it is a jockey whippin? Marco was well overpriced btw!!

Believe it or not but that one and the fav were the 2 I felt I had to beat. It did drift out to a very fair price on here. Did consider a 0.5/0.5 split on BTS & the winner....hindsight and all that

You're up and running. I only like 1 today at Southers but the money has come for it and the price looks a bit skinny now

Top2Rated, I lost on the race so I'm not sure I'm the one who's guilty of after timing? Cag on the other hand.......he must only back Marco's winning rides Devil

Your picture did make me smile though T2R. There's a pair of Wood Pigeons living in the tree in my garden. They've had plenty of Sunflower seeds out of me since I've lived here. lol
