How so?

[eamonhonda]

16s, 14s and 12s last night. Nice to be on that trixie

[NewApproach]

How so?

People on a poker forum were discussing it at 11.30am, for starters...

The first yoke went off 10 on betfair after being 2/1 since first thing this morning. They defo missed heaps of value, whatever the result

[balfejohn]

2nd one wins

[Guest]

I cashed out with 365 laying 4/7, great cashout offer, it's gonna go off around 11/8 on exc

[Jibzzzz]

Top of town 4/6 now

[Guest]

It should drift, it's being lay on quite a bit, could go off at bigger than 2s

[The Situation]

Nearly 2's on exchanges, being opposed like he doesn't win.

No it's not that, simply people laying off, I don't think there's a lack of confidence, people just simply getting out of a position.

[CHDad]

Pussies. Gambool.

Yes

[eoghan104]

Ask SP about the corruption in football now!

Gangsters.

[Strewelpeter]

That was the only one where Davy's job was beyond following Byrnes legendary instruction to a jockey of 'Don't fucking fall off'

[shano1888]

Wpd all. Fuck my laziness.

[Jibzzzz]

Fucking yes

[CHDad]

How much will this cost the bookies? Seemingly quite a few people on at various bigger prices.

Also, ship.

[Raoul Duke III]

Ask SP about the corruption in football now!

Gangsters.

Didn't have a cent on but surely you have to admire the execution?

[Jibzzzz]

war anthem (6.40), mr. smith (7.10), top of the town (8.10)...all still being backed...

Cheers for this, legend.

And big cheers to this too.

[Raoul Duke III]

What combined odds did you guys get on this? Must have been 50\1+, even at the skinnier lunchtime prices.

[eoghan104]

Ah it's class I love seeing that.

Pure corruption of the highest order though.

[NewApproach]

He's a complete gangster, but a very talented one!

[DeadParrot]

I'm still learning about married betting but she thinks it was only 600, which is progress I guess

[SatNav]

Thanks. New lips for me Friday week

What combined odds did you guys get on this? Must have been 50\1+, even at the skinnier lunchtime prices.

The Stewards enquired into the apparent improvement in form of War Anthem, trained by C.Byrnes, placed first, compared with its recent form. Evidence was heard from the trainer concerned who stated that his animal was ridden at Listowel on the 6th June and Limerick on the 3rd July by G.B. Noonan, an inexperienced claiming rider. He commented that his charge had jumped big and deliberate at Listowel and had never taken a hold of the bit. At Limerick he felt that the rider was weak on his charge who was unable to keep him in contention. He further added that the booking of D.N. Russell in addition to a complete change of training routine by easing off in his exercise combined with the fact that his horses had been out of form but showed signs of improvement in recent work outs had all contributed to todays improvement. He further informed the Stewards that this animal had a history of bursting blood vessels but to his knowledge had not done so on the racecourse. Evidence was also heard from Andrew Shaw, Turf Club National Hunt Handicapper, who stated thatp>War Anthem was tailed off in two previous hurdle races and despite winning a weak contest today, abnormal improvement had been shown. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the explanation offered and took no further action.

The Stewards enquired into the apparent improvement in form of Mr Smith (GB), trained by C.Byrnes, placed first, as compared with its previous run at Killarney on the 14th July 2016. Evidence was heard from the trainer concerned who stated that his charge was unable to go with the pace in this two mile one furlong contest and jumped deliberately before losing interest when becoming detached from the main contenders. He added that P.T. Enright who rode Mr Smith (GB) at Killarney had suggested that this animal was ungenuine and could benefit from the application of blinkers, be ridden more prominently and race over a longer distance. Today he did as suggested and felt that his horses had improved in their overall health in recent weeks, all of these factors contributing to this success. Evidence was also heard from Andrew Shaw, Turf Club N.H. Handicapper, who stated that this animal was running off a rating of 83 having been dropped 2lbs for the Killarney run. He also commented that blinkers were applied today and the animal was racing over a longer distance. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the explanation and took no further action.

[TonyCascarino]

TBH these were the considerations taken into account when I backed the treble.

[DeadParrot]

Talking to the media at Roscommon, Byrnes said: "After Galway we needed it. I did my brains in at Galway with Sea Light and Crystal Pearl."

Asked how long he had been planning the apparent coup, Byrnes said: "It's just the way it happened. I wouldn't say I planned it. I had a bunch of horses come into form and I put them in together. It was the last couple of weeks I was able to put it together. Long-term it would be impossible to plan."

Any insider knowledge as to how the bets were placed? Would have thought this would be very difficult after recent Curley coup.

I would struggle to have less to do with that side of the business!

A 100e trixie at opening prices on b365 would return 500k.

It is easy to circumnavigate risk systems. They are cumbersome and hard to change. Bookies have attempted to correct for it in their rules etc.

Did anyone actually get on at the big prices seems like they were cut before anyone had a chance

[Strewelpeter]

Kevin Blakes blog is very good as usual.
I liked this bit in particular

While “landing a touch” may seem like a relatively simple task to an outsider looking in, those with insights into the practicalities and realities of such things know just how difficult it is to get everything right with a horse to have real confidence in its chance on any particular day.

If it was easy, lucrative gambles would be landed every day, but the reality is that they are very rare.

Thus, for a trainer to deliver three modest horses to a single race meeting in peak form in races they are confidently expected to win and duly get the job done is a truly mind-blowing achievement.

Bainne worth a few bob later?

Edit - nvm, hadn't checked price since first thing this morning. GL.

[ionapaul]

Any fancies for Leopardstown this evening? Heading there in a while, more for The Strypes and the craic than the racing but will certainly be punting away (in my own non-degen fashion!) while there so any suggestions gratefully accepted
