    How do ante post bets stand now the race has been moved?

    All I know is the bets I placed with Bet365 for today’s and tomorrow’s races which have been rescheduled are still listed as live and available for cashing out…

    Gladders, I’m just jesting.
    I was on my way to Liverpool when the game got postponed on the day Princess Diana died.
    Liverpool and Klopp will not mind the cancellation with the form they are in. Most of the squad look shattered and in desperation of a break.

    By the way, I arrived in Donny at 13:15 and there’s been steady drizzle ever since, with intermittent heavy showers.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s genuinely testing ground by Sunday.

    Ante Post wise I’d say with it being only 24 hours bets will stand

    Cheers, CAS. In the Leopard now, funnily enough. Beer is excellent and, yes, they did ask if I had a CAMRA card! 👍

    Took me forever to get an ARC refund earlier in the year.

    Re ante post – if race rescheduled within 28 days bets stand, I think?

    More rain in Soggy Donny this morning; probably be soft by tomorrow, if it isn’t already.

    History tells me the value lies with one runner in the St Leger – and it’s not the favourite.

    The jockey bookings and declarations are all over the shop on the RP for tomorrow. Apparently Hollie Doyle is at Doncaster for several races and also in Ireland for several races, some of them are minutes apart :unsure: you’ve got Zargun in the 1.00 and the 2.10 for Doncaster tomorrow. What a mess this all has become.

    I was of the same opinion He Didn’t Like Ground – desperately wanted to oppose the favourite as I’m not sure he’ll stay and I’m not sure he’s that good even if he does but Haskoy has plenty to prove as well and I thought Eldar looked slow as a boat but he’s the one of the three I prefer as he’s the only certain stayer. Even allowing for it being shocking half of these are nowhere near good enough to win a Leger so I suppose on that basis Eldar at least looks a solid each-way play, I can’t see him out of the frame whereas I can easily see the other two bombing and not staying. You can tell its a bad race, all those Galileo colts and they send Emily Dickinson, sorry but she’s rubbish and also slow as a boat, he’s got nothing that stays basically of any sort of ability.

    I’ve been looking for some e.w plays but it’s depressing me that any of the rags are able to get a place in a Leger , I’m off to the bookies to have a study

    Alleged 1977, Ile De Bourbon 1978, Shergar 1981 – I could go on, I’ve just seen too many horses priced up short for the St Leger based on 1m4f form and get beaten in it.

    New London is a nice progressive colt, but he’s never been a yard beyond 1m4f63yds and his pedigree doesn’t exactly scream St Leger type to me.

    And there’s cut in the ground to make it that bit harder to get home.

    Hoo Ya Mal reminds me a bit of 1982 winner Touching Wood, runner up at a big price in a strongly-run Derby and just waiting for an attritional test to show peak form again.

    Like 1984 winner Commanche Run, he landed the March Stakes over 1m6f last time out and at the odds he will do for me.

    Ian I was on at 125-1 in the Derby so there,s not one more horse in it I want to back but I thought it was his speed that got him 2nd in the Derby not staying , workmanlike in his last run I’m not convinced about him…. I might yet play , I’m with you with the fav though , he,ll need a horsebox to stay in this ground , look at the Chester run in the soft ….punch drunk at the end , you look at the rags form …..Jesus h they shouldn’t be here …woeful

    Gai Waterhouse was fairly adamant that Hoo Ya Mal would win the St. Leger so I’m following her. Haskoy is really quite short now on what she has achieved but (New London as well obvs) if any were backing her on bare form alone then you can look down the field of her listed success at York to find Mimikyu who comfortably won the Park Hill Group 2 t’other day.

    I’ll stick with Hoo Ya Mal for now but something tells me Ralph Beckett will win this fair and square with a filly in not so controversial circumstances as last time (Simple Verse).

    Big Bollocks to it, Haskoy-Hoo Ya Mal singles and forecasts.
