A warning to people about the "Loser money back as cash" offer with Sky.

In the past this was £10 max, i just saw this is £2 only.  :no

Is this the same for everyone?

Mine was £20

Yup, the offer varies per customer, not that I get it at all as the arseholes closed my account down.

Maybe it's because i don't bet with them much on the horses, cos their prices are usually shite.

Yup, gave me a similar feeling to when I saw Faugheen round Cheltenham the first time. Hope the horse can avoid injuries.

So good it is unfair. He could end up with the highest ever hurdler OR at this rate. State Man is a proper, proper horse and he looked ordinary next to this remarkable steed.

If there's one thing Henderson won't do is run him if there's any doubt. Potential Gold Cup horse?  ;D

I might have been seeing things but there was a perhaps 10-second acceleration that left everyone else for dead; absolutely breathtaking.

You’d think he’ll have a rating in the 180s now. Only run 7 times. Could and should still have some left in the tank.

She was a farcical price. Total overreaction to her getting beat by a couple of extremely smart types. She was still half a stone clear of anything in that race. Don’t get gifts from bookies often but that was a massive one.

It wasn't that easy! Love Envoi was close enough but Honeysuckle showed her class one final time; lovely to see, especially since I backed her lol!

If she jumped the last better she would’ve won that by 3 or 4 lengths easy enough. Official ratings had her 6lb clear before the races. Handicapper knew she still had miles the best form.

Another kick in the bollocks for the bookies, thankfully, cos i had a double on El Fabiolo and Gaillard du Mesnil, but you could have probably got 50-1 in running on the fav there, till the fall.

Think Pat Mullins got out of trouble there. He’d spotted Mahler Mission a big lead and I’m not sure he’d have fetched him.

Tempted by Thyme Hill at a good price today. He’s not shown as good a form over fences as yet but what he did over hurdles entitles him to respect against these. Nothing in this field would get near winning a Stayers Hurdle at Aintree in my opinion. Big run last time against solid if not spectacular yardsticks. Shouldn’t be 9/1 I don’t think. I’d be surprised if he’s out the first 3.

Sir Gerhard has only run once over larger obstacles in an egg and spoon race where his jumping wasn’t tested and The Real Whacker has beat nothing in his career so far. There’s simply no way I’d have these shorter in the betting than Thyme Hill. Can they beat him? Of course but you’re not getting as nice a price on them.
