    Yeah true, but I think the price more than accounts for this fact. I just like everything even down to his draw, where he's been most successful in stalls 3+4 and he's clearly taken to this particular AW track which would be a possible negative for the unexposed types in the race because these fibresands can differ greatly from track to track.

      Muktasb wins today at 8/1. Tipped him up last time, course not a cent on today.

He's also going off a pound lighter than his previous victory last time out and has won at a good bit heavier than this mark. Very consistant horse.

        Held on for 2nd. Winner looked very impressive.

          N1
          Its entered in the oaks so really shouldve been winning this race if that entry is to be taken up. Needs to improve plenty but the step up in distance helped and she looks very useful

              Is this right, seems a bit bad but I'm clueless to horse racing. I bet 2.50 E/W so 5 euro on Tuscan at 9s. He came second. What should my return be?

                    Zeffirelli came up in my tracker, noticed it, ignored it, and he won @ 50/1. FML.

                      Just 3 days to go to thy start of the flat season

                      Had a look through the Kempton card tonight, interested to see how Middle Club goes in the 19.50. Heard an interview recently with Richard Hannon who really rates him to impress this season. He should be far to classy for this field but I can't bring myself to back him at the price he is at the moment on his first outing of the year.

                      The only bet I have is Turjuman in the 20.20 at 7/2.

                        Perhaps Noel could awnser this.

                        Was in PP today for one race. The 4.40 at Warwick. Put a 50euro bet (Still have the slip) on Marsh Court. Think he was about 11/2 or 6/1. They are called foward and the tape goes down. Marsh court just stands there BUT DOES NOT RACE. Commentator says he was withdrew and then later on says he isin't sure. This goes on and on for about half an hour as there was another horse involved aswell.

                        Cliff notes - Lady behind counter won't pay money back.

                        Will i get my money back?? Surely PP/bookies can't screw punters like this.

                          the official result is that he refused to race, as he wasn't withdrawn I doubt you will get your money refunded tbh.

                            A couple of years ago in Galway in the entire week two horses did this. I had them both backed obv. No money back

                                Good night on the horses. Middle club drifted out to 10/11 so I couldn't resist. Nice win on Turjuman, went off at 9/2 as well which was a surprise because I thought he was value at 7/2!

                                  Was also in a PP shop when this race went off. A guy in it had 50 ew on sparkling montjeu. Horse finished 3rd,he collected 110 as he backed him at 7s. 5 mins later manager behind the counter calls him to the side and tells him there was an error and that the horse was withdrawn at the start and there was only 7 runners which ment he was paid out in error. He gave him the option of giving the money back.This is when the guy consulted me and i told him to ring the PP helpdesk. He was as good as told that it was a system error and not his fault. He idnt have to give back the money if he didnt want to.Therefore he kept the money.
                                  To sumarise the horse was declared withdrawn at the start and you are entitle to your money back.If i was you i'd ring the helpdesk also.

                                    Anyone know the number for the helpdesk? Will definately follow this up. It's just 50euro but they make enough of me as it is, without me letting them keep extra money im entitled to!

                                    If someone does know the number could they stick it up and ill get it in the morning and give them a ring. Cheers!

                                      He was classed as refused to race here http://www.irishracing.com/results/v...1003241640.htm . Which means he was under starters order and part of said race. you wont get money back, read PP's(or any bookmakers) t+c's for confirmation.

                                        Having a punt on Just Mandy in the first at Kempton this evening. I prefar her over the favourite in the race for a few reasons. The favourite has only had 3 days recovery from his previous run on Monday and hasn't won in the past after such a short break. Just mandy has been there or there abouts in her four AW appearances in races that have produced a high proportion of winners next time out. She's also won at the weight she'll go off tonight. Flatstats also tells me that higher draws produce more winners than lower ones in 5-9 fourlong races in Kempton over a four year sample, this would also give her a slight edge over the fav IMO.

                                                  Yeah me too. Had a great day's punting yesterday but today has gone bad from the start.

                                                    Wow the 9/2 didn't last long on Penitent for the Lincoln on Saturday after the draw this morning. Backed into 3's already, E/W value gone. I was going to wait till after the Spring Mile to see how the track is running but decided to take a gamble on him this morning. Bring on the rain!!!

                                                        Why shouldn't i be? Is it really much different than a football match being abandoned? If the horse had even took one step past the start line and then decided it didn't want to race then fair enough but it didn't.

                                                        Its the last time i EVER bet in a powers shop. I said to the manager in the boyles shop that im always in and she said she would have made an exception as im a decent customer.

                                                        Day light robbery by the bookies imo.

                                                          Good luck getting Powers to change the rules of racing for you. Ask them for money back on fallers too while your at it.

                                                            Id have no intension of asking money back for fallers. That would be just retarded. The horse has took part and wasent good enogh/made a mistake.

                                                            If a horse doesn't even make an attempt to start the race tho it should be money back.

                                                              Thats the chance you take, there was ample time for the trainer to get word to the post to withdraw the horse as he had been acting up. He didn't and the horse line up, same as being in the stalls in a flat race. Its the rules of racing, the only people you should contact about this are those in charge of racing. Paddy Power don't make the rules so going complaining to them is just a waste of time.

                                                                This is a standard rule of racing and would be enforced in any bookies so its not just Powers being tight. The rule is on a list of rules visable in every bookmakers in the country. So bad beat and all but suck it up and forget about it.

I think you are shooting yourself in the foot saying you will never bet with Powers again. They are the best value around and some of their specials (ie Dunquib) are incredible.

Low draws, heavier weights and previous distance winners have all gone really well traditionally, but they did change the track recently so that could all be irrelevant. You'll know a lot more about his faith after the first race.

                                                                          Hoping Californian Flag can get me off to a good start in the next at Meyday. If he achieves anything like the speed he did in the group 1 race in Hong Kong he'll be hard to catch.

                                                                                                Thank you Paul.

                                                                                                        Comment

The horse is a beast around this track winning 5/6 races and nearly breaking the course record on one of those outings. Slight step up in class today but he'll be still hard to catch if he goes like he can around here. Already nibbled at in the market from 3/1 so I'd advise people to take the 5/2 on hills as Hugh Taylor has him NAP'd so it's sure to shorten more!

Johnson's stable on fire and he is well known to look for a big jockey when he wants to win with a horse, up steps Frankie Dettori, I predicted that this meant the horse would try to make all from the front and he duly did and obliged.

                                                                                                            So why do I put this up you ask?

                                                                                                            Well same comination have the fav in the next, best form in the field and a horse that has been ridden prominently in his two runs to date. Get on!

Was on Moskova earlier in the week but laid most of it off after seeing how much of a slog it took to get around the track yesterday, don't think he can make the distance. Telenor is standing out now for me now but possibly a little short in the market to get on.
