    Almost all your tips in the big races seem to be Ballydoyle horses botchy. So, is it against the rules or something ?

    And nice bit of aftertiming there buddy. Cheers, if anyone wants to PM me with an e-mail address i can forward on a screenshot of an 80/1 bet placed online and they can verify my claim here. 100/1 bet was placed in store.Only about a £3 each way like… but still B-)

    No it’s not against the rules but it does get a bit tedious the amount of O’Brien sheep on here who basically just tip up all their horses and try to pass that off as “insight”

    Although better to be an O’Brien follower than pretty much anyone else I suppose.

    Well I’m sure you’ll be on them anyway, as you just seem to back all of his regardless.

    Certainly will in the second half of the season, and the rest of this now the World Record is on.

    Good luck to the whole operation i say, and i’m sure they will be close after this weekend, Doncaster & BC

    I’m even worse on the jumps with Mullins BTW ( Joke )

    Wonder what price he is for SPOTY :yahoo:

    Thought this was supposed to be a forum, where meaningful views were exchanged, not an O’Brien appreciation society.

    I see you put up O’Brien horses for pretty much every race. Why don’t you just say “I like O’Brien” and leave it at that?

    C’mon Judge, I think you made your point first time around, and botchy agreed with you that he does
    indeed back O’Brien’s horses. I think it’s still “meaningful”, even if you think it may be a little
    restricted, but I don’t think we should have a problem with that. It’s not like he’s Gore mk2, who
    put up every odds on or short priced favourite in every post. I quite like to look out for the O’Brien
    second, or third string, in the big races, how often have we seen them turn over their more fancied
    stablemate. It will be interesting to see how O’Brien junior does in the jumps season, he should have
    the clout and connections to acquire some decent horses over the next few years.

    Good luck to both of you :good:

    Yeah fair point Big G, maybe I’ve been in a bad mood of late, just seems like there’s too much fawning over other posters when all they seem to do is put up O’Brien horses.

    I’m sorry to see the Judge lashing out on a poster just because he likes winners and if you don’t like them, post your own.
    As a matter of fact in 40%+ big races with O’Brien entrys, he’ll have from 2-4 runners, none of them useless and often 1 or 2 with top credentials.
    So finding the right O’Brien horse is just as important as looking for other trainees.
    Keep it up Botchy :rose:

    SPOTY? Would that not be hard considering both O’Brien and Mullins are Irish and based in Ireland ?
