Brexitmeansbrexit running in the 18:55.

 

Probably not one to have much faith in.

 

Ha. 

 

 

[Captain Turdseye]

I’ve had to put the odd 27p in my Paddy Account on Brexitmeansbrexit. The fuckers gubbed me today so I’ll be withdrawing all my cash and won’t be using them after tonight’s footy bets come in anyway. 

[Jairzinho]

8th of 10.

 

 

[Captain Turdseye]

Could have been worse. 

[Jairzinho]

The trainer has apparently challenged the decision and the horse has now been awarded 9th.

They should have a re-run.

[Hades]

You're all cunts.

[ZonkoVille77]

A fair assessment, Hades.

[Jairzinho]

Favourite in the 19:45 today - Klopp.

Not the favourite anymore. It’s been superseded by Superseded.

Both at 4s. The shrewd money will come for Klopp late. He's got form in Newcastle.

Are you getting on it?

I'm pawning the missus' jewelry as we speak.

[Captain Turdseye]

Ah, fuck it. Chucked a tenner on before the odds come down. 

[Fowlers God]

7/2 on 365. Just lumped a £10 on

[Captain Turdseye]

Wahey! Nice one, Jairz. 

[Fowlers God]

Just checked. Brilliant result

[VladimirIlyich]

Had a couple of quid on the second horse. Not a favourite backer much.

Are we going to have a separate thread for the Cheltenham festival, or use this one as an all purpose thread?

I'd prefer to keep this one for general and for any info and tips on a day to day basis and have a specific Cheltenham thread for info and views in the run up to March.

I thought Elegant Escape ran well and stayed on yesterday to finish behind Frodon and would be a value EW bet for the Gold Cup.

Agreed, although he'll need heavier ground I think. Very surprised that Nicholls wants to give Frodon a go in the Gold Cup.  

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

It idled for a bit, but Paisley Park was an impressive winner in the Cleeve hurdle yesterday.

 

It's jumped to favourite for the Stayers Hurdle at the Cheltenham festival. 

 

I still wouldn't rule out Penhill though...

[Captain Turdseye]

All meetings off tomorrow. It’s like bird flu but in horses. 

 

Is there a precedent for this? Will everything go back to normal on Friday or will there be no racing for the foreseeable?

 

I was planning to try a risky strategy tomorrow, laying outsiders in the 4/1 - 8/1 bracket in most or all of the jumps races with a heavy odds on favourite. With my luck this has probably saved me a fair wedge. 

[ZonkoVille77]

Be a good bet to place on Ireland to win the Prestbury cup now.

If you lay to liability you can only lose your stake,but your winnings are much smaller. You can set software to just take ticks or a percentage though.
