Title: Ladbrokes World Series Hurdles - Free bet...who do you pick? Post by: Laxie on April 16, 2008, 12:39:03 PM OK, so I have this free €40 bet from Ladbrokes. Dunno why, but got a letter in the mail, checked online and there it is.
I have to use it for the Ladbrokes World Series Hurdles in Punchestown on 24th April and can only pick one horse FTW. Who would you pick and why? Cheers!

Blazing Bailey (5/2) , Kazal (4) , Cooldine (5) , Venalmar (7) , Faasel (8) , Nicanor (8) , Refinement (8) , My Way De solzen (10) , Gone To Lunch (10) , Junior (12) , Kicks For Free (12) , Shakervilz (12) , Quevega (14) , Nenuphar Collonges (14) , Sher Beau (14) , Earth Magic (20) , Catch Me (20) , My Turn Now (20) , Souffleur (20) , Uncle Junior (20) - if the ground is not soft I reckon Kazal has a good should at winning. He ran a cracker at Cheltenham and connections have always thought this race was his. Blazing Baily ran a cracker last time out but had a tough season.

Post by: steeveg on April 16, 2008, 01:26:25 PM if poss i wouldnt put the bet on till the day of the race just in case its a non runner ,the rules probably say ,non runner and the bet is void, usually with free bets you do not get your stake back,so if horse wins at 2/1 you recieve £100, not £150.

I like Kazal, but Venalmar and Faasel are my favs at the minute. Guess we'll have to wait and see who the jockeys are. That's usually the decider when I'm stuck on a few.
