    The price was wrong but he’ll be in the Ballymore. Elliott has said he wants to avoid Getabird.

    There will be a few shrewdies who have cashed out for a profit but the majority will let the bet run in the belief that they have value. When Samcro isn't declared on Sunday they will look to back something else with the money in their account. Something that they might back with another outfit if they didn't think that bet365 were such nice guys. I'd be prepared to bet that their Samcro liability, Supreme and Ballymore, is balanced to their satisfaction.
    Frankly, I'm surprised at all the fuss because Getabird would win anyway.
    The older I get the better I was.

    Eddie O Leary has said Supreme doesn't interest them and he wont be switching regardless of the betting.

    Music to my ears.

    Not entirely the full story lads. An inch of rain forecast next weekend. Bit of Mullinsitis rubbing off on the O’Leary’s. 🤫

    Next weekend might as well be next year when it comes to predicting quantity of rainfall on a specific area.

    That would be hilarious, Samcro gets declared we all start celebrating only to see Getabird fly away with it on the day.

    Glad to have Samcro out the way for First Flow

    I was pretty confident, despite the presence of Getabird, etc, that Sharjah was going to run away with the Supreme.

    The likely soft ground is diminishing that confidence by the day. I might have to look for a serious alternative. I have Debuchet, Scarlet Dragon and Vision Des Flos (all 33s) as 'value' longshots but I might want something with the kind of solidity I thought Sharjah had.

    I sent Kim Bailey a tweet about First Flow, asking if there had been a change of heart re a Supreme run for First Flow. This was his reply:

    Will be entered @KelsoRacecourse as planned and will watch weather @CheltenhamRaces

    The soft ground is a bit of a worry for me 2 of my biggest bets due to run on the Friday really won't want extreme ground probably gd-soft soft in places is do-able any worse than that i could be in trouble.

    According to Kim’s blog Archie posted up he reckons there’s no rain forecast at all so by that it’d be Kelso.

    If FF swerves the Festival, he swerves it.

    My bets are £1996/£11 and £175/£7, so no huge damage done if I don't get a run.

    Kim Bailey confirms First Flow will run in the Supreme.

    The plot thickens........

    Kims Blog yesterday. 🤣


    ‘The ground is currently described as soft and good to soft in places and with not a huge amount of rain forecasted the likelihood is that the ground on the first day will be good to soft and after 4 days, good… So be warned don’t go mad backing heavy ground horses’

    Has he said Vinndication is going to Cheltenham as well? Seems to be getting supported for the Ballymore.
