Le Richbourg has completed scuppered my big plans.

Was hoping to get Duc Des Genivres to eith the Close Bros or Grand Annual, as they had clearly been not trying very hard.

However he then bolted up LTO, was introduced into the Arkle Market, where I did take some 20s and 16s, just in case, but not enough.

Todays happenings have seen him shrink to as low as a stand out with Billy(who are also stand out with Defi who could be his biggest danger if rerouted).

Elated on one hand frustrated and reminded to be careful on the other.

Booooooooooooomio.

I hope a few got on.

Well done, Adz.

I didn't fancy it at all before LR & CE came out, so suffered for aborting my usual 'I've missed the price, stick more on' method

Well done, mate.

Short of time but  well invested in Urgent de Gregaine in X country. I think Felix was caught off guard last year by Tiger. Looks a cracking price to make a race of it.

Can see Lil Rockerfeller being Sat on behind the pace by Ms Frost and storming up the hill in these conditions.

Finally i hope Santinis poor little foot is ok, as he has a good few shekel on him. Conditions look optimum.

[Marky147]

Nicked a bit of 11s on Urgent with 4 places.

Good luck today, mate.

Gambling Commission vs BetBright

It looks like the green light given to future arrangements like this.  If they really don't have any powers to force Ricci Rich to honour these bets, at least they could use a few harsh words, "content" doesn't seem to be much of a warning to others.  And why is he still allowed to wander round Cheltenham, surely bookmakers who welsh on bets should no longer be allowed on course?

Hope that bloke gets his £30k!

Just finished reading his book " The Sure Thing"

Well Chomps he holds  a different view to you on Tom Queally

[Chompy]

Never had a major issue with Queally tbh, apart from the ride he gave Frankel in the Guineas, which would have ruined many a top-class horse.

Same goes for the trainer Edna Bolger.......

2.30 Lingfield I bet Tavener 7/1 who has been consistent of late and Horse, trainer, jockey have been an effective combination. I took a second look at Diamond Lady as this was one of the more popular bets on oddschecker at 20-1 ew 4 places with PP - Does look well handicapped on best form including over C&D and has a pretty good record after a break.

[Chompy]

Tough draw for a front-runner/pace pusher Taverner and plenty of other pace in the race.

I always think 5f and 6f sprints are very different animals round here. You don't want to be too far away over 5f, but I'd prefer hold-uppers over six.

Think this could be set up for Aguerooo or Qaaraat.
