I don’t know Viking, that’s what I was saying. It looked like it as he halved in price overnight

Took the 12s for O’Connell

Maybe all the rain and bookies having price

Had a tickle on De Legislator , 33s looks a nice price for a horse who can go far enough , the Scottish Just So

Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026

[Venture to Cognac]

Already made a mess of this. Not remotely worried about the Val Dancer one, but the O’Toole one was a few quid, and his abysmal run yesterday rubbed salt into the wounds.

Going to join Spoon with Monbeg Genius. He’s the one who looks a bit overpriced, with the yard slowly coming back to life. Risky the day before Five Day Decs, but I suspect he’ll come in a bit, should he be declared

I’ll add Dom of Mary on the day too.

Monbeg Genius 50’s EW
O’Connell 14.5’s

[Steeplechasing]

Feel like I’ve followed Monbeg Genius all my life but will reluctantly leave him this year as I don’t think he quite sees this out.

Spent an enjoyable 90 minutes looking through the top half of the field so far and Git Maker is my choice from them: looks like Snowden’s been following a recipe that will come nice and ready to serve here on Boxing Day.

will take a look at the others tomorrow.

Hung Jury 33s E/W for me, stayed 4 miles well on Hunter Chase night at Cheltenham in May. Hopefully off a light weight should get round and finish in the first four.

Final declarations on Boxing Day wilts

[Tizaaards Cider]

Anyone any idea when the last time Gordon Elliot sent one over was? I’ve got a feeling it’s not too often, but I could (and probably am) be wrong.

[Wilts]

Cheers VF

[Tizaaards Cider]

Thanks VtC. Just had it in my head it was a bit unusual but it’s clearly not. He must just have a stinking record in it

[Steeplechasing]

As Tony Calvin says on his Bluesky feed, utterly ridiculous to have the final decs for a historic race and big betting handicap just 24 hours before.

[Mike007]

Dry and sunny all week.

[Tizaaards Cider]

Got to be unlikely that Mr Vango goes now you would imagine with that forecast!?
