Margate win 4/3 at 11/1 first win in 12

Funny old game saint

In the aftermath of the Gold Cup, after the trainer's championship was decided, Willie Mullins made a late withdrawal of Vroum Vroum Mag.  The reason he gave for this action was that it was "no longer mathematically possible to win the title and that he wanted to run her next week at Punchestown in a more valuable race."

For this "wilful disregard for the interests of racegoers and punters" he was fined the princely sum of £1000.  I am not missing a zero or two.

The Road to Riches article last night tipped Caroles Destrier at 9/1. It's 12/1 now with the sponsors 3-Stoke-5 for five spots. Scuy bet also for non-employees.

£20 each way if we can.

we'd need help

bet365 and betfairsportsbook the only places with 5 places and we can't use either

I can do BFSB but they're tens still. Think it's drifting tho so shout up if they move out and I'll have a look.

Also, are we doing any of your neffledraft tips, Tighty? I see you're on the Goff Train now. If there's anything that appeals with Staniel James or Mr Parr, I'm sure I can accommodate Fred.

can do if you want. markets are very thin this year though, hoping for a few more prices/places to go up next week

I'm hoping to have a look myself tomorrow (been listening and researching more than I ever have before on a draft. Even listened to a press radio phone-in with Mike Mayock yesterday. "Hi this is Steve Beefburger from the Phoenix Enquirer. What do you think the Cardinals will do with their fifth pick this year?" Etc).

The Dallas situation at 4 is a very interesting one. It seemed straightforward until three players got suspended and two teams traded up to take QBs!

as i wrote in one of the sections, you've got the top two picks virtually set, and still not got a clue what will happen at number 4. my flow chart trying to map it all out had more crosses through it than a noughts and crosses convention

i hope we trade down and pick paxton lynch. elliott would be nice.

a strong side defensive end who is a stoner? not so much

Whoa, stop right there.

You have an NFL draft flow chart?

of course

have to try and predict who goes where and once you move along the picks the potential combinations increase exponentially

you don't shock the NFL draft community by winning their competitions from 6,000 miles away any other way

(haven't won it since lol)

Lol @ "of course". Of course of course.

26 out of 32, and beat 6,000 entrants, why am I not surprised?

As you do

Some going that, Tighty

97. Exceptions to Rule 96 : non-runners

97.1 Rules 96.1 and 96.5 do not apply in any of the circumstances specified in Paragraphs 97.2 to 97.7.
97.2 In accordance with Paragraphs 5 to 7 of Schedule 7, the Trainer submits a satisfactory veterinary certificate to the Authority's Office within 7 days of the race in which horse was declared to run,
97.3 Subject to paragraph 97.9, the Trainer informs The Racing Calendar Office without delay

97.3.1 by telephone, or
97.3.2 through the Racing Administration Internet Site

that he has self-certified the horse as a non-runner, specifying the reason for it not running.
In such circumstances, the Authority will suspend the horse certified from running in future races in Great Britain for the period of 6 days starting with the day following the day of the race for which the horse was self-certified.
97.4 There is a change in the going on the day of the race from the going report which, on the day the horse was declared to run, was posted on the Racing Administration Internet Site or was available from the Clerk of the Course (or the Person nominated by him).
97.5 The Trainer considers the horse will be unsuited by the going, the horse is on the racecourse and its identity has been verified by a Veterinary Officer from its passport on the day of the race.
97.6 The Trainer, his representative or the Owner satisfies the Stewards on the day of the race that the failure of the horse to run was caused by other circumstances outside the reasonable control of the Trainer (or his representative) or the Owner.
97.7 The horse is prevented from running because the rider was not allowed, under Rule (B)22.6, to weigh out on account of the fact that certain sums due under these Rules remain unpaid.
In such circumstances, a financial penalty of £140 shall instead be imposed on the Owner of the horse.
97.8 Except to the extent stated in Rule 98.4.3 or 99.4.3, this Rule does not apply in any case falling within Rule 98 or 99.
97.9 The use of self-certificates is not permitted where the reason for not running is related to prize money for the race except for where the prize money has altered after the time determined in accordance with Rule 89 for making declarations to run.

No 97.10 The trainer found a bigger race nexct week for the horse to run in

or 97.11 The trainer took his ball home

Thistlecrack was also declared as a non-runner for Punchestown during the course of the afternoon making the "more valuable race" even more tempting with his chance of the British Trainer's Championship gone.

I don't blame him and what is the harm?

Should say Mr Channing put two horses up today.

I put one on this thread.

Guess which one won.

Such is life, eh?

I'm assuming my Tal Tab has just increased by £20, but thanks anyway. Let me know if we need to settle up, please.

Usual Settlement Day convo is fine.

We have the draft to come and I know two chaps called Stan and Patrick who could hopefully help us out.

It's from his Stevenage days. Think that's where it came from anyhoo, 'Westley is the Messiah'.

I thought nobody could top Fergie Jnr when it came to playing players out of position, but Westley managed it. Marcus Maddison at left-back my arse.

Anyone got Nigel Pearson's number?

He could have saved himself a grand by lying through his teeth as most connections do and state it was the ground change.

Would not have incurred a fine

Who knew those two massive egos would clash! Time for daragh to give it a go himself as I said to you at the time saw him at an away game this season screaming and shouting all sorts after 5 minutes.
