long run - king george, kempton - unless captain chris or master minded prove flies in the ointment i expect him to slam the lot of them by a good 6L or so. lots still doubt SWC, mainly due to his debacle the other week, but he proved me wrong last season and now will happily have him on my side. won the kg and gc last year, as well as giving oscar time a terrific ride over the national fences.
bog warrior - leopardstown 220 - martin rates this one out of the top drawer, looks tailor made for fences and the soft ground ideal
sir des champs - limerick 210 - gigginstown look to have made the right decision to avoid clashing him with bog warrior at this early stage of his fencing career and the trip to limerick should pay off. emmett mullins not great but certainly better than a certain PW mullins and he also rode the horse to his festival win.
binocular - christmas hurdle, kempton - fighting fifth not his race and has a good chance of beating overturn today, always comes on a bundle for his first run of the season and should improve dramatically (as should long run) today. overturn hasnt had a good rest for a while so is bound to bomb out sooner or later, and cant see 2m round kempton being ideal for RoR as he has ran well over further so perhaps would want a very stiff 2m on a galloping track. henderson says he is very hopeful of a binocular repeat.

already got a bit on long run from earlier this week, rest of bets TBC.

Re: Betting Chat : Wed Dec 28, 2011 2:14 pm  

bets since boxing day:

grands crus - won
bog warrior - fell
binocular - won
long run - second
peddlers cross - second
finians rainbow - won
mourad - second

wonder how much more improvement voler la vadette has. thought mourad would've beaten her over three miles today like he did in the spring, but she won even more convincingly than last time they met over a shorter trip.

hidden cyclone makes his debut over fences tomorrow and is an exciting prospect by all accounts.

unbelievable stuff. bad publicity for betfair anyway.

won a bit on celtic tonight so backed thousand stars for tomorrow. can only see unaccompanied troubling him, while she does look very good this is a big step up from g1 novice races.

thousand stars should be able to fly the flag for mullins in these races until they come up against proper champion hurdle horses, in which case hopefully HF will be back.

sad news regarding master minded, doesn't sound too promising that he'll race again - or even if he does he may be a shadow of himself. will never forget his first champion chase.

No doubt some punters laying off to guarantee a profit, who could now be looking at some major losses.

Been reading on Betfair forum and it seems a few got hit in that way. Apparently it was still 12s on Betdaq as it was crossing the line . What annoys me is if that horse lost the race Im sure all the backers would have lost every penny and the layer would be £800k up now!

Will be interesting to see how this developes in the future.Obviously, it's 1 of those ghastly bots, and imo, whoever is using it, should be accountable, unless of course, it was a solitary punter, who aint got a pot to pee in, having a laugh.
