Hi all,

The form of Bobs Worth and the two Irish horses tie in with Tidal Bay whom I hope goes for the World Hurdle. Can we say Tidal Bay has ber rejuvenated under Paul Nicholls? I’m not convinced…..

If Tidal Bay runs in the World Hurdle it would be a disgrace! How anyone could say this is the right race for him is beyond me! The only thing you have to think of is if Big Bucks was still in the world hurdle then this race wouldnt even be on the radar for TB, in fact he wasnt even in the betting until BB was ruled out. Tells you all you need to know! Ruby is being selfish, and i would much rather have Daryl Jacob on his back anyway. I suspect it is purely to save Ruby making the wrong decision on gold cup day!

TB doesnt deserved to be messed around like that, this is realisticly his last season so deserves to go out on a high with a last crack at the big one!

Welcome to the forum Benny

I was of the belief that one non runner would sink an ante post acca?

Thanks well i dont have an overall price for them as in i didnt get a quote for all them winning, i just did an acc for all of them. having said that you have me doubting myself now so i will give them a ring tonight! i did place a acc bet on tidal bay to win the hennessey, welsh national, gold cup and grand national but i had to get a quote for the combined odds and they said then that if he didnt run in one race then the bet would be done for, but for the other i assumed it would be just like an normal acc, would be pretty harsh otherwise!

Also to add to the original post, i asked the question of AP e/w terms and they told me ( i think it was stan james) that depspite offering 3 places 1/4, should only 5 – 7 turn up you’ll only be paid out on the first 2. Perhaps that particular person was mistaken, but is definately worth checking with who ever you placed the bet with as it seems pointless even offering e/w terms if that is the case!

Hi All

I am newly signed up today. Thought here would be a good place to start

I have been stung this year already AP. I had a bet on Lovcen for the RSA, after his defeat of Fingal Bay at Aintree and his previous staying on 4th in the Albert Bartlett thought would be an ideal horse for the RSA but his runs so far have been awful, think he is much better than that but for what ever reason is woefully out of form.

My other was Sanctuaire at 12’s look excellent value until he was beaten by SS, next run much better and my confindence has grown again that he could well battle all the way up the hill. IMO Ruby tried to recreate a materful ride my Daryll Jacob but got it massively wrong. so annoyed he drifted since out to 16’s but happy to see him given a chance to win again at kempton.

My other is overturn who i couldnt be much happier with! i genuinely think he could well defeat simonsig!

My last and perhaps am most happy with is my 100/1 on Tidal Bay for the Gold cup!! Love this horse i just hope Nicholls does the honourable thing and run him and not re route him to the world hurdle to line his pockets couple with the fact i think his chances halve for that race as dont think he will have the pace for it.
Very pleased with my 33’s though 5 places on the national!

I also have an e/w acc placed on 8 races for this years festival just after the last

Simonsig – Arkle 11/4
Sprinter Sacre – Champ chase evs
Rock on Ruby – Champ hurdle 8’s
Big Bucks – world hurdle void
Bobsworth – Gold cup 8’s
Quevega – mares hurdle cant 11/10 i think
Lovcen – RSA 16’s
Grand crus – Ryan Air 7’s i think

Im hoping lovcen doesnt run lol

Go easy on me!!
