Gutted as I backed Blaklion each way but all set for the national now!
What did everyone else think of his jumping though?
Gutted I didn’t back Blaklion each way but was rushing as they’d just broadcasted Bishops Road not running on Twitter.
I like The World’s End in the Haydock 3.50. Win bet at 9/2.
ADDED BEYOND CONCEIT 25/1 SUPREME
Not sure what will happen in the Supreme but what a great ride from Nico on Beyond Conceit there.
The Irish handicapper is lenient to say the least. This Rashaan will hack.up in Ireland when he runs in a handicap.
I disagree in that case, he was beaten into 13th place in a handicap off 133 and could only win an all weather handicap by a neck off a mark of 81, that doesn’t suggest that the horse is going to hack up in a handicap hurdle in Ireland. Smith took the form of his down royal hurdle win too literally. He had been running over the summer and was race fit and thus beat an unfit apples jade and an unfit and poorly ridden petit mouchoir on what was basically summer ground. If owners and trainers are going to be hammered for taking part in such races like that and fluking a win then its no wonder why such races have so few entries
PS. The 4th horse in that race is my manekineko who was also fit from a flat campaign and ran 8.25 lengths behind rashaan in that race off level weights yet smith gives rashaan 150+ and gives my manekineko a mark of 126. Surely if my manekineko is a 126 horse in Britain then rashaan should be a 134 horse on that basis, not a 150+ horse
Maybe. You can look at it from both ends. Did the other 2 underperform or has he improved? See how he runs Sunday in the Red Mills.
Both non runners.
Have had a single win bet on Blaklion at 10/1, should’ve done each way. Not sure about anything else tomorrow yet.

No returns for finishing last!
Still +£11.50 to £1 level stake. Tomorrow I like a couple, let’s see how they go.
Fakenham 2.00 ZeroShadesOfGrey
About the 4/1 mark and his beating of Royal Vacation is great form, he also finished 2nd giving a stone to Actinpieces who has won a class 2 off 12st 2lbs since.
Sandown 4.15 TwentyEightGuns
11/4 shot whose form of last race is working out with Black Narcissus and Buttercup both wining. Hope distance doesn’t stop him.
I’m in pieces watching that clip.
The other week some guy was talking about a horse stopping to chew on a hedge then carrying on the race and winning! Matt was having trouble holding himself together.
You’re completely right and that’s why I’ve only had a fiver. If you see my thread in the plays section you’ll see I only bet a few quid and usually singles.
Not doing multiples cost me 1175 for a fiver a few months ago so when I see a few horses I’m happy to chuck the price of a pint at them.
I can see Defi doing a Our Connor on them all (bless him), fingers crossed.
I like Matt Chapman and both OTL and ATH. What other shows are good. I have Racing UK hut don’t know when (or if) anything is on?
UKnowWhatIMeanHarry should win.
He’s part of 5 horses with Altior, Defi Du Seuil, Douvan, Vroum Vroum Mag who I think will all win.
Even at current prices those 5 to win a are about 30/1 with the Irish bookie. Worth a fiver.
I backed it to win at 10/1. I do okay betting but not an expert with exchanges. Is it worth me laying the bet off and how do you go about it?
Leicester 3.10
Dark Flame E/W
Available at 7/1, he beat More Bucks who scored twice since and then finished 3rd behind 2 subsequent scorers. With the favourites jumping far from bomb proof I’ll throw a couple of quid at him.
