    "He" should read "The winner", rather than implying Rhinestone but it's a fairly moot point.

    Thanks, DO.

    Bit of a shitehouse that, as I can’t get on with either.

    You’ve done well to get blacklisted by B365.

    Happened in late summer.

    I’m not entirely shutdown with them, to be honest. I’m allowed 1p max-bet on any market I want to play in.

    Best Multiples running are this E/W Lucky 15 - Just a pity one of them looks in the wrong race:

    Footpad 5/1
    Black Corton 25/1
    Min (Ryanair ) 10/1
    Apples Shakira 4/1

    Then I have a €10 Straight 4 fold to win €1k that still has a realistic chance with all 4 looking to be in the right races

    Footpad 15/8
    Buvair D'air 7/4
    Samcro 2/1
    Min 3/1

    Haven't been keeping up to date posting all my ante-bets but have had a bit of a splurge on singles in a couple of the handicaps prior to them being announced.

    The County 2 large bets (large for me anyway) on Flying Tiger 33/1 and Mohaayed 33/1

    The Brown Plate three decent size bets Le prezien 20's Foxtail Hill 33's and Long House Hall 25's

    Smaller win bet in the boys race on Le Patriote 14/1

    All NRNB.

    Also decided with Call me a Lord bowing out of Champion Hurdle contention (not that he was ever really in it) I've had a large e/w bet on Melon in the w/o market at 7's.

    Recent addition to the portfolio:

    I suspect Vision Des Flos will go for the Ballymore, which I haven't backed him for just yet, but in a situation not dissimilar to Samcro's regarding the ground, I've backed it (33/1 NRNB) for the Supreme.

    His most recent run appears to stack up well on the clock. At least on my clock

    He was an eyecatcher first time up for Tizzard behind Poetic Rhythm (now rated 148), the racereader seemingly of the opinion he'd beat PR in the future, and on the back of that was only 3/1 when disappointing behind OTBS (now rated 153) when he may have bounced but in any event the run was simply too bad to be taken seriously, finishing a long way behind Poetic Rhythm.

    Next time up, he was in the process of beating Paisley Park (now 142) when blundering his chance away at the last.

    A couple of months' break during which he had a wind op saw him return with a 31-length win - "cruised clear, impressive" - from the 135-rated Mercenaire back at 2m (heavy).

    So trip and ground for either the Supreme or Ballymore shouldn't be a problem. The only issue regarding the Ballymore is that I don't see his price dropping before the race whereas, as with Samcro, if they opt for the Supreme he'll almost certainly be some way less than 33/1.

    I threw a score at him at 66/1 straight after his Exeter win without the NRNB concession. At that time I thought the Supreme was the more likely target but then read later that day that it was more likely to be the Ballymore. Now the ground is looking likely to be slower than originally considered I may get a run for my money after all.

    I’m also invested in Kalashnikov at 8/1 and Samcro NRNB 14/1 in the same race, fully expecting to get my money back on the latter.

    Tuesday makes or breaks my festival. Gone utterly balls deep on a Footpad, Boover, Apple's Jade treble.

    If that loses I'll be waiting till Gold Cup day to bet again on the day, leaving just my AP bets to ride.

    When did you go balls deep, just today? Or are you on at the bigger prices from a while back?

    Today, couldn't resist it. Busy working away most of next week so won't have time to watch or bet anyhow. 4.65/1 with Bet365.
    Still can't get over the 6/4 about Footpad, robbery for me.

    Although I am on all 3 as well from a while back at bigger prices. My AP book as it stands, think I have minimum 1 horse in every race bar a couple. Probably don't need to bet on the days anyhow, I just usually do cover bets to my bigger prices I backed earlier on.
