No excuses whatsoever for CPS. Just didn’t see it out up the hill and fell in a hole after the last. De Bromhead has got some squad now.

It was a cracking race - I was on the second, the Skelton horse. The unlucky runner was undoubtedly Sceau Royale; I didn’t have a penny on it, but it’s a horse that needs decent ground, and I feel sure it would have gone close.

Was so unlucky, would've been in the front two I think given he had his exact conditions and was tanking along at the time, real shame that but that's National Hunt racing!

Not a penny on but didn't stop me roaring Tiger home then! What a horse!

Tiger Roll!

Made my Cheltenham in more ways than one🤑

Change of scenery (stable) is the horse racing equivalent of new manager bounce in football.

Exactly the same as me mate, I absolutely love this horse. Probably my favourite of all time (my lifetime anyway)

kesey · « **Reply #4126 on:** March 17, 2021, 03:58:12 pm »

Had first and third ( ew ) in that . I've doubled Tiger Roll with Our Colossus at Huntington which is a tip from my Uncle who's £1,600 up so far.

He's just the best isn't he! Might not be the most talented but the most versatile with the biggest heart no question!

Fair play to Tiger, thought he was cooked.

Not sure about yourself but if I had a sniff of that amount I'd consider backing against it . It's a tricky one as when I back against the last leg of a bet I feel deflated as I lose the buzz gambling gives me but it's the only time when the saying buying money is true. I need a Plus Tard on Friday to win for a 23/1 treble and still not sure what to do . I have it in lots of ew bets too so I should be covered but it keeps playing on my mind.

Not really. If he doesn't and Envoi Allen loses, he's lost a fiver. If he leaves it and it wins, he's got over half a million.

It's over a few different bets, there's one with a cash out of £284 which if I let run will return £495 if Envoi Allen wins.

I'm considering taking it as it will still be about 850-900 if he goes on to win. At the same time I'm hesitant to take it as I backed it in the first place because I thought it would win and quite frankly, it shouldn't get beat but it's horse racing, shit happens.

Respectfully I disagree. If they'd offered him £10k I may agree..even though the horse is such a favourite tomorrow, I'd take that every day of the week.

According to the Racing Post he was waiting on Minella Indo for £110,000 last year when Champ picked up the pieces. Don’t think I’d have ever gambled again after a beat like that, let alone this. I’d be ripping their hand off, Envoi Allen should lap them but at the end of the day he’s a novice chaser with 3 runs over the big uns and has moved stables a fortnight before. You just never know.

Or take the cash out, put £75k on Envoi in a single. £200k profit guaranteed and likely another £100k return at current odds.

Barneylfc∗ · « **Reply #4150 on:** March 18, 2021, 08:31:37 am »

He's partially cashed out.

Easy for me to sit here and say I wouldn't cash out, but in the cold light of day he's either lost a fiver or won half a million if he had left it.

Can't begin to imagine the thought process of making a decision on it, but it looks like he'll be up 300k from a fiver. Not bad

chromed · « **Reply #4153 on:** March 18, 2021, 10:12:27 am »

I’ve lumped on Envoi Allen and Paisley Park in a double today to get my week back on track.

If the cash out was £20k I'd be less inclined. But unless you're absolutely Brewstered, I don't see how you could turn away £275k.

I know he's a pro and has £20k in his balance so it's not the only ACCA he has going

He'll make another shed load through the publicity he is getting too.

kesey · « **Reply #4156 on:** March 18, 2021, 10:31:35 am »

Just checked my 365 account and Iam two legs into a treble ( footie ) and need Frodon tomorrow ( ew ) to bring it home .

38/1

Edit. So I need A Plus Tard for a few bets but it's the 23/1 treble that pays the most and now Frodon. I think I'll back Royale Pagaille too.
