What about Robert Earnshaw! He must have been a fan of the great stylist
Fred Archer! You didn"t say they had to be good Jockeys!BENNYB,My knowledge is that vast i cant tell the difference between a Chaser and a
hurdler! Apologies! (Padydeplasterer)!BENNYB, I am happy to share my vast knowledge with you, although i must say FISTS appears to be an extemely knowledgeable individual! My
advice would be to include next years Champion hurdle winner JERED!By the end of this season i am expecting Silverburn to be rated in the high 150"s, So to see him running off a mark of 143 makes him my Paddy Power selection! 21/2m on soft ground around Cheltenham will suit him
perfectly! He strikes me as a slow learner, but one who has a progressive
profile and i doubt we have seen anywhere near the best of him yet! His form with Massinis Maguire and Tidal bay is good enough for me! I have backed him e/w at 9/2!Equitrack, Gold Cup winners can be described as Workmanlike! Denman for instance Grinds his opponents into submission with his resolute galloping! Harchibald on the other hand wouldn"t have a days work in him!
Breedsbreeze was not a flashy winner unlike his stable companion I"msingingtheblues was! Ruby had to get down to "work" on Breedsbreeze and the horse responded gallantly and won like a horse who will hold his own in Grade 1 company! You will hear the word again!Everything Aran Concerto achieved over hurdles was a bonus, He really does look a chaser of the highest order! i just hope he"s not too dependant on soft ground! Certainly looks like he would handle a quicker surface and 3m would suit him even more!
Both Nottingham and Doncaster are superb for viewing the whole track and are easily accessible! Both tracks have seriously deteriorated in the
catering department! Particularly Doncaster now they have stopped creating their unique Chicken Curry! It certainly made up for watching ORIENTOR get beat every year in the Cammidge trophy!!Having backed Denman Ante-post for the 07 Sun alliance ch at 7/1 and the 08 Gold Cup at 10/1 i could be bias to the Champ! But i am of the opinion that Kauto Star ran below his best in Denmans Gold Cup and believe that on Good/soft ground Kauto will seek his revenge on his stable companion! Neither appeal as Ante-post propositions as i believe in the
Young pretender Albertas Run at 33/1 to be placed and i know his season will be geared to getting to the Gold Cup! Thats how highly he is regarded
by connections!To date the Ryanair has 2 potential winners in Tidal Bay and Noland wether they end up there, time will tell, though both are quoted at single figure prices to be victorious. They both also look like being 21/2m specialists to me! Of the 2 i favour Noland at this time as Tidal Bay could end up in the 2m Champion ch or 31/4m Gold Cup!
Breedsbreeze puts himself up there with the best Novice chasers this season with a workmanlike performance over 2m5f at Wincanton yesterday! I felt his jumping could have been better but he carefully made his way round! Still not 100% convinced he"s a 3m+ horse but defineately has a classy profile!
TASTAHIL v MAGICALMYSTERYTOUR, Thats the formline i am interested in, i felt Tastahil should have finished closer the last time they met at Doncaster and have backed him e/w at 16/1. We shall see! Its just not a great November handicap!
Marble, So and so being Mastercraftsman! Bills unfortunately come 1st
thats why i am still playing after 25yrs! Seen people in bookmakers have £3000 trebles! 1st 2 win and guess what! they are what i call MUG PUNTERS and 90% of gamblers in this country are exactly that! Obviously to a smaller stake but the principle is the same! GREED!GUYS’ Some great responses to my post! Its an amazing topic Ante-post
betting! some punters detest it Others like myself live by it and its not just that feeling of being able to spot a potential champion, but the confidence that is required to put your money where your mouth is! Confidence in your own ability is everything in Gambling! When you have a losing run your confidence takes a thrashing! My favourite saying regarding Ante-post betting is "If you want the price to pay! You may have to pay the price!Halfway, If you fancy Art Conneisseur he is regularly trading around 44-60 on Betfair! his turn of foot is potent but will he still show it over a mile?
Rory, Burntoakboy has won 1 chase in his 54 run career, he was rated 122
at Cheltenham the day Maljimar beat him by 11l is that Eleven length in shorthand? you learn something new every day! Paddy Power winners would beat Burntoakboy by a distance! Thats 25l and over in shorthand!Dubai, and i thought i did well getting 20/1 Albertas (future Gold Cup winner} Run for the R.S.A.
Mounty,
Is that the same Maljimar that was getting near on 2 stone from
Knowhere over the course last year and flattered to decieve! Or is it the Maljimar that struggled to beat the 126 rated Burntoakboy over the course earlier this year! Or even the Maljimar that could do with being rated at least another 5lb to even get in the race!
