[Theresa]

Good man Jazzy.

[jazzyfish]

lol only copped on to this now

[TheImprover]

4 winners today and a good % of the profits gone out on Big Bucks so we'll be sweating it out tomorrow

[Lplate]

Maybe it's me but WH aside, this looks like an uninspiring card. Anyhow, I'll still lose some loots on these;

Felix Yonger
Lie Forrit
Hidden Cyclone
Annie Power
Ballynagour
Night Alliance

[Dice75]

Full Team in place for 2mrw -

1) Oscar Whiskey Win
2) If in Doubt E/W

Also E/W Treble on above

4) Annie Power - 2nd leg of win double from Weds & also doubled with Briar Hill on Friday.

5) Sew on Target E/W
6) Balnaslow Win
Also E/W Double on above

Gl All.

[corkie123]

well started the first 2 days with a winner then nothing to go with it in my lucky 15 so hoping for thur one will do better

1 felix yonger ( hope he wins first race again ruby )
2 if in doubt
3 al ferof
4 big bucks

heres to more than 1 winner in my lucky 15

[elbows]

Balthazar King got me out today so still nicely up.

Have a double on Felix and Dynaste 4 to 1 each. Will probably perm a few others.

Have a double from a few weeks ago on Felix Yonger and Annie Power. Have gone cold on AP now. Would back big bucks but Nicholls hasn't been exactly firing which worries me. Rebecca Curtis had a virus for a few months in the yard and with a winner today think at Fishers Cross is too big.

Selections for tomorrow.

Felix Yonger
Seefood
Dynaste
At Fishers Cross
Georgio Quercus
Indian Castle

Good luck all

A nice little note popped up in my B365 when I opened it, as I had backed Balthazar King I get free €50 on the first race tomorrow.

[Jibzzzz]

1)Felix Younger @5s
2)Pineau De Re @28/1 E/W
3)Benefficent @4/1
4)Annie Power in - 2nd leg of double with Quevega.
- 2nd leg of treble with Faugheen and Briar Hill tomorrow.
-2nd leg of double with Faugheen

E/W Lucky 15
John's Spirt
Ballinslow
Zarkander
Oscar Whiskey

E/W double
Nadia de la Vega
Balinslow

GL ALL

[Percy007]

Whats the thoughts on Big Bucks @ 2/1 without Annie Power?

[Pat Mustard]

Haven't even got to look at any racing so far. Champagne Fever let me down on day 1to leave me with a small loss and Smad place let me down for 5k+. Sire de G still got me a nice few quid tho so booked a healthy profit. My selections for tomorrow are below...looking forward to 2 days propping up the bar watching the racing. GL anyone getting involved.

Felix Y
Fingal B
Al Ferof
Annie P
Tap Night
Cause of causes

[The Situation]

Wonderful Charm or bust

[Norwichfanrob]

surely Quevega is not gonna line up tomorrow, fairly hard race on tues, and cant imagine they want her taking on Annie, yet you can place lay her on the machine at 5s currently, id have her way more than 5s just to run tomorrow......free money?

(around 300 matched at 9/2 which would indicate she might actually run)

[Caf]

Serious study done and I'm taking a different line to most

SPOILER

Tis only a certainty.

GL all!

[dobby]

Tomorrow's bets are really just for the sake of a bet and small stakes for interest in the racing. One nice price EW double and one big price EW double. Had a random €13.99 making my balance look out of sync so I stuck it on Balnaslow in the 4.40 to win at 8/1 after GAB mentioned it.

1.30, Taquin Du Seuil 9/1 and 3.20 Rule the World 7/1 EW dbl.

2.05 Mister Dillon 25/1 and 4.00 Nadiya De la Vega 16/1 EW dbl.

Really looking forward to Friday now.

[Norwichfanrob]

absolutely horrific value



she is home in Carlow already and declared a non runner which wont reflect until tomorrow morning. The 300 matched is people attempting to manipulate the reduction factors on the race.

i was just being dumb thinking it was still ante post rules, but obv its not, never mind !

dynaste for me tomorrow the main one, along with big bucks i did ages ago at a shocking 5/2 thinking AP would go for champion hurdle, and nadiya de la vega the other one im on so far.

[DeadParrot]

big swing for the fences
Balnaslow @ 10/1 (GP)
Third Intention @ 14/1 (GP)
Big Bucks @ 4/1 (GP)
Dynaste @ 7/2 (GP)
If In Doubt @ 7/1 (GP)
Felix Yonger @ 7/2 (GP)

e/w accum and a few singles

[poprock]

Wonderful Charm or bust

Same have him in all the accums for the day, I think I like the pain of watching the mullins/ruby hotpot winning by 9 lengths, its such a sudden rush for me.


Wonderful Charm
On the bridge & Fingal Bay (bet 365 five places)
Dynaste
Annie Power

[RBBlogger]

Here's my shortlist for Day 3

R1: 3rd day in a row my biggest bet will be the first race. Can't separate Oscar Whisky & Taquin Du Seuil at the moment.
R2: small e/w bets on Top Wood & Crowning Jewel
R3: Listening to final furlong podcast, I thought this would be a simple dutch of Dynaste and Benefficent but I dont like any in this race. Tiny stab at Al Ferof and Rajdhani Express for a bit of interest
R4: This is another complicated race, way more competitive than people think so no value in Annie Power. Big Bucks for me but nothing too big stake wise
R5: Third Intention followed by John's Spirit & Colour Squadron
R6: Shortlist of main contenders Same Difference, Indian Castle, Cause of Causes. Also looking at Tabhachtach & Twirling Magnet.

Good Luck!

[White Knight]

Oscar Whisky
Fingal Bay
Hidden Cyclone
At Fishers Cross
Tatenen
Tranquil Sea

[Guest]

Balnaslow @ 10/1

My selections for the day,

1:30 Taquin du Seuil
2:05 If in Doubt
2:40 Al Ferof
3:20 Annie Power
4:00 Tap Night
4:40 Buddy Bolero

I've done a treble of Annie Power,Briar Hill and Bobs Worth as well

[NoRiverRequired]

RUK or ATR stream anyone? I usually use Tykestv.eu but that seems to be dead?

http://www.wiziwig.tv/competition.php?part=sports&competitionid=205&discipline=other

Usually good quality stream on this one Noel.

[SatNav]

one biggish bet on Oscar Whiskey thats me done for the day!

He hasnt let me down in the past so pretty pleaseeeeeeeeee do it again!

ah fuck it backed big bucks too. now thats deffo it, havent backed a winner all week.

[amberleaf]

No ante-post bets for me again to day so just a three each way pokes,going with taquin du seuil in the JLT,Josies Orders in the Pertemps (pp & boyles paying 5 places,laddies paying just 4) & Giorgio Quercus in the byrne group plate,good luck all.

[AndyFatBastard]

What's with all the doubt around Big Buck's?

[eamonhonda]

Taquin de Seuil e/w
Dynaste to win (also doubled small with taquin de seuil)
Zarkaner e/w

did two place accumulators too

Oscar Whiskey
Benefficient
Nadiya de la Vega
Seefood

and
Big Bucks
Balnaslow
Taquin de Seuil
Dynaste

[TheImprover]

Nerves are starting to set in over this world hurdle, big bet on BB

[eagle eye]

Its one of those days for me where I don't particularly think anything has a massive chance to win but I like a few so small each multiple.

Ballynagour
Ballinaslow
At Fisher's Cross
Menorah
If in Doubt

[Aya14]

it's stupid - people want to have big opinions and this is a perfect place to have one. If the horse gets beat they were right, and if the horse wins they hide in the meeja coverage of his success. 9/2 BB is just about as good an Each Way bet as you are likely to find, imo.

Should say, you need to stay in this race and Annie Power, More Of That, Rule The World, Zarkandar all have to prove that - I can guarantee they won't all stay. At Fishers Cross while he stays has to prove his well being. We know Big Bucks will stay.

At Fishers Cross suspect jumping too? Even with only two flights in the last 3/4 mile or so.

Zarkander worth a poke ew, speculative on of course?

Have BB in a double with Quevega already.
Can't be having Annie Power at that price.

I do like 1.30 Tarquin de Seuil
2.05 Fingal Bay
2.40 Menorah
4.00 Shangani
4.40 Same Difference



All ew shout cross doubled and trebled for lols and one silly ew accum on same.

[NoRiverRequired]

Feeling good today, plenty of winners for all i hope GLGL

R1- Wonderful charm 11/2

R2- Took Fingal bay @ 10/1 earlier in the week with enhanced Ladbrokes offer.

R3 Radjhani express e/w @ 25's & Benefficient to win 4/1 (biggest bet of today)

R4- Fully expect AP to win, no price though so backing More of that e/w with PP offer of money back if 2nd to AP.

R5- Nadiya del a vega ew 20/1, Ballynagour 16's ew

R6 Gonna follow GAB in on Balnaslow 10/1 ew good enough for me.

[V for Vendetta]

I have taken a further look at Race 2 and had small 5 place EW scatter gun efforts on Grand Vision, On The Bridge & Broadway Buffalo. Some bad vibes around about Dynaste so have had to bail out on most of my position.

Josie's Orders for me. A lady gave me a tip. She had some 70/1 winner yesterday on Betfair and aftertimed me but I'm a sucker for a tip.....

[Strewelpeter]

It must have been firm as the car park for weld's to have won the bumper.
Did they only start watering the new course yesterday?

0 confidence in anything today and can't come to an opinion on Dynaste or Beneficent.
No doubt I'll spew off A couple of buy ins trying to get out of the hole

[Ed]

Not gonna get to watch any of the races today but on Felix, Dynaste and Big Bucks with mini bets later based on this thread.

Good start to the day

#Hayeswise

ty

[a-k-47]

nice shout GAB.. now big bucks for the double.

[Kenny]

TY, had my biggest bet on this after browsing here last night

[DeadParrot]

Silly bet on uncle Jimmy

[NoRiverRequired]

Get in Fingal bay. what a finish.

[NoRiverRequired]

Class horse Fingal Bay, pity he ever got injured, would probably be in the Ryanair or the Gold Cup otherwise.

Absolutely,any horse that beat Simonsig is a grade 1 animal.

[Lplate]

Gone small ew on Boston Bob and Hidden Cyclone here

[theshortstack]

3 from 3 good day so far, some man for the tips GAB.

[flushjee]

Hmm, cause of causes now for a 300/1 treble. One time

[Juan Pablo]

Nice on GAB on the first and the third, waiting on Big Bucks for a 200/1 treble

[eamonhonda]

edit: pic is far too big but yeah, money

[NoRiverRequired]

Radjhani express ran a belter.
Cracking ride by Tom Scu in fairness on the winner.

[I'm not folding...]

Big bucks to win for my biggest day racing ever. My first born child shall be named "GAB rules the gee gees"*










*or new dog, whichever comes first

[Teddie]

My only bet of the day is on Big Bucks so I'd start laying off if I was you guys.

[Lplate]

Bit frightening to see all the confidence in BB. I'm in the Annie camp and believe that she'll trot up. Think Zarkander could run well too. GL.

[poprock]

Must be a few of us waiting on the four figure accum on AP

[Iago]

bleugh

that is all
