    Xmas Will Win Thread

    Back for 20 days ONLY!

    I will be putting up a few bets to get the Xmas money. If it goes well hit the Donate button and throw a few coins towards the running cost of the forum. First bet will be tomorrow at 10.15am. Will try and give notice as to when I have one.

    Confirmation Bias

    This should be 10/3 on the show.
    Those of you weak minded could even bet it e/w 1/4 odds 1,2,3,4.

    I’m more annoyed as I was on it anyway, you posting this made me top up

    Luckily Volcano in the race just after has pulled me out the ****.

    An absolutely horrific run. Probably still running now.

    I'm against you in that race. DK is a Scorpion. Question of when not if he goes backwards.

    It looks like I've landed on a non-trier with this one if the market is any guide. I really thought it was a licence to print money at 4/1 but it's very weak in the market, possibly being campaigned for the Pertemps Final? Still, I've felt obliged to top up at the 13/2 on offer this morning just in case I was right in the first place.

    This could be a sore one...

    Boldmere in the 3.15 Donny. (I'm in mortal fear of making it to Slim's infamous Index, so say a prayer for me.)

    I'm already on the above. I hope that doesn't put you off though, Slim.

    I'm already on Chidswell for reasons explained on the 'what are you backing thread'. Good luck to you nevertheless.

    Out to 8/1 and very little attempt to compete when they came to him after the 'last'. I reckon a festival handicap is the plan.

    Apologies all.

    (To make matters worse, I had the winner second-top with a +p.)

    9 racehorses with my money on this week. Only Sky Pirate returning anything, which I put back on Goshen. If these 2 days I’ve had are anything like the festival I don’t want to watch.

    Irish taking the absolute **** as well.
