Which is the better offer?
Paddy's 'money back if your horse finishes 2nd to favourite' (but only pay first 3 for EW) or backing with someone who pays first 4?
My thought would be the extra place is better (as finishing 4th is more likely than finishing 2nd behind a specific horse (especially if that horse is around 6/1)) but maybe I'm missing something.

Quel Esprit a non-runner in today's GC which could work out well for my speculative bet on him for the GN @220/1.

Totally gutted about this. The more I have learnt about the game over the years the less often I am convinced that something is a really great bet...maximum material...the sort of bet to get excited about. It now maybe happens once or twice a year at the very most and almost never about a 20-1 shot but I had that feeling about Quel Espirit today. Everything about the shape of the race and the way they had brought the horse along just screamed out at me. Gutted. Anyone know what happened? |

On Midnight Chaser thanks to a tip on here a while back, but also did an e/w of my own on Synchronised. That's the Gold Cup sorted.
Also have a wee e/w treble on Pearl Swan, Long Run and Astracad. Don't like the fact that Ruby is on Pearl as I'm kinda gone off him for this week, but he's managed a couple during the festival and I really like the horse. Fingers crossed.
Have an e/w pick or two for each race and will probably toss some money on the greys as I see them.
Main bets are:
Grumeti
Local Hero
Brindisi Breeze
Midnight Chase/Synchronised
On the Fringe/Enter Paradise
Open Hearted/Changing Times
Astracad
Good Luck Us!!!

I just heard that the jockey was not happy with him when riding out this morning and another report said that he pulled up slightly lame. I get the feeling that it's not a major setback but that is purely my impression. |
