Harlestone Times 3.10 Doncaster
Libranno – 3.40 Doncaster – reserveCheers
BRAMPOUR – 3.00 ASCOT
THE LAST DERBY – 3.40 ASCOT – NAP
OOJOOBA – 3.55 NEWMARKET
RESERVE – F AIR ALONG – 2.45 WETHERBYYep, Ladbrokes returned my mighty bet of £20 on Soldatino at 12/1….what genrous sports they are…it’s nearly half the price now….
Jamiedb9007 – which bookie/s have voided bets? Part of my stake is with b365, just checked my account and the bet is still on.
From what I can tell all of the main protagonists….Hills, Corals, Ladbrokes, VC
I see the bookies have now voided all bets on the Totesport Trophy. How can they get away with it? I have backed various horses for Cheltenham with the risk of them not running in certain races and am happy to concede I have done my money. But surely, when you get 12/1 on a horse ante post and on the day it gets backed into 6/1, the race is re-run a few days later and they void all bets so any value that may have been had has long gone! I understand about reopening the race, but surely people that are already "on" ante post should stay "on" ante post!
I backed kid Cassidy for Cheltenham, but will they give me money back if it now doesn’t run after getting electrocuted? I don’t think so!!! The bookies are thieving gangsters…nothing more!All very true, but according to the owner, Solix went well enough in a routine piece of work with Oscar Whisky, even if he really was running all over him, there’s no promise it continues on a racecourse.
Anyway, I’m gonna stick with Soldatino. Not the greatest of Triumph’s I know, but the way he travelled the other day for two miles, and also quite possibly needing the run, I think he should be there or thereabouts.
CheersWhat are people’s opinion on Soldatino? He’s a grade 1 winner carrying less weight than his stablemate Solix who hasn’t won a grade 1, yet he’s a bigger price and with the stable jockey on board. And does anyone think he may have needed his last run? I thought he was still on the bridle after two miles, and the extra three found his fitness out. Just a thought, but think he has more chance than the favourite??
Does anyone know, now the weights have been released, if Catch Me is a definite runner? Getting that weight from Long Run, tying in with the form with Weapons Amnesty makes him a nice bet to me if he runs. I’m on at 20’s and would be gutted if he didn’t run.
Funnily enough I backed Catch Me two days ago at 20. Probably won’t get an entry now
Will Catch Me still run in the Paddy Power after Sunday?
Hey, haven’t been on here for a while, I tend to hibernate when it is the flat season! Back now to another hopefully prosperous campaign over the jumps.
In terms of the PPGC, I too like Chapoturgeon but there’s a niggling doubt still about his jumping and although still only young, it will be tough against some seasoned rivals.
The one I like is
Razor Royale
(if turning out) for the GC winning trainer NTD. The start of the season is TD’s time of year (and March, hopefully!) and he usually has his horses spot on. Although RR probably prefers the deep Winter ground (as seen in the RP Chase), I can’t imagine the November turf to be any faster than good to soft and so won’t inconvenience this up and coming chaser. Not sure of the precise odds at present but well worth ew IMO.
Can anyone tell me what kind of weight Catch Me would be allocated for the Paddy Power. Thought he was unlucky against Pandorama and Weapons Amnesty last time he was seen. Think that form stands up to close scrutiny.
