Not one of Gordon’s but think you’re on about Vic’s Canvas

thanks mate

Anyone been to a preview night yet? They must be in full swing round this time.

there was a good list in the Irish Field this week.

If you’re on twitter have a read of Paddy Power Shops tweets from last night where they tweeted opinions from the preview in the Goat. Our Conor did likewise from some preview in Kildare.

a horse has a twitter account now?

Don’t be stupid. Someone pretending to be a horse has a twitter account.

Irish Star Sport are currently twittering about a preview apparently

its just as well none of the syndicate members are blathering about him on anonymous internet boards, otherwise god knows what price he’d be…:slight_smile:

I’ve just thrown a clatter of bets on NRFB.

1pt e/w on each of the following

Supreme - Western Boy @ 16’s
4 miler - Shutthefrontdoor @ 12’s
Champion Chase - Sizing Europe @ 16’s
JLT - Oscar Whisky @ 7’s
Ryanair - Hidden Cyclone @ 16’s
World Hurdle - Zarkandar @ 10’s
County - Flaxen Flare @ 16’s
Triumph - Royal Irish Hussar @ 20’s

All on the basis that when they line up on the day they shouldn’t be this big.

I like shutthefrontdoor too…will put a post on this nearer the weekend still sifting through it…
the other one I would consider NRNB is Ted Veale in the grand annual, he’ll go off a lot shorter I think

Powers going NRNB on all races

He was beaten the last twice when favourite, or did they come out and say there was a reason? Trounced last time over more or less C&D.

Tony said last night that he’ll run in the Arkle. Dont believe it though.

PADDY POWER have become the latest bookmaker attempting to entice punters to bet with them at the Cheltenham Festival, with the unveiling of their special offer for the first race of the meeting, the Sky Bet Supreme Novices’ Hurdle.

Billed as ‘the best ever Cheltenham special’, they will refund all losing win bets and the win part of each-way bets on the second, third and fourth-placed finishers in the Supreme Novices’ to a maximum stake of £50/€50.

Commenting on the special, Paddy Power said: “It’s fair to say that we’ve always led the charge with Cheltenham specials, but we wanted to freshen things up this year after a few ‘money back if [a certain horse] wins’ specials, and we’ve come up with our biggest offer yet.”

Read between the lines…
