Riverstown looks to have plenty in hand against the field in the next…Interesting to see he a Kiwi bred out of Montjeu
I know the connections of Baresi in this race. He had serious high hopes for him a year back but suffered a few setbacks since then but has a couple of places in bumpers last couple of times out. Nothing to really frank the form of them though.
Fallon on the 7/2 fav in the next…Have thrown a few bob EW on him.
each way at 7/2…get the fuck out of here you mug
Yikes, I see he is gone from a tissue price of 11/1 to 60/1 on Betfair.
They obviously don’t fancy his chances much.
No fucker…your the mug! and so is everyone else who throws in their lot with a straight win bet. 7/2…4/1 and above EW for me. FFS. how long you been gambling?and backed a 7/2 shot and seen it beaten into second or third place???A MUG GAMBLER WILL BACK A 7/2 SHOT TO WIN ONLY…IMO. Your increasing your odds of collecting if you do it eachway at that price…and thats what its all about,increasing your odds of winning! mug my arse ffs.
If you dont really fancy it yet dont want to lose your stake,then eachway is the bet.If you strongly fancy it…then go on the nose.
Word is fairly strong for this so will be having a bit of a cut.
:rolleyes:
Go bhfoire dia orainn
Another Mug yeah…
Bookies love you i’d say
The few that will still take my money are decent sorts
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
I believe the word you are looking for is Mug
I wouldnt be one to back a 7/2 e/w, 5s or above for me. Although there are exemptions, as in if you have an odds on shot in a 5 runner race, a 3/1 second favourite with a 12/1 bar, then i’d go e/w as there is good profit to be made from these scenarios in the long run. .
?
The 2nd Fav is very likely to place, and off course occassionally the red hot favourite will feck up and the second favourite will win. . I read about it a few years back and there is certainly money to be made in this situations. I’m trying to find the article but i can’t
Stop this nonsense now. There is no long-term value to be had in backing 3/1 shots e/way.
But there is. . You get say 1.75 with the bookies for the place which you can lay on betfair at 1.2 for the place
What’s the story here?
Tuesday July 13 2010
Champion jockey Pat Eddery has been sued by his own brother who claims he was wrongly sacked by his famous sibling.
Paul Eddery said he stepped in to help his brother run his racing yard after the collapse of Eddery’s 25-year marriage.
He said the 11 times champion jockey was depressed and struggling to cope when his wife Carolyn left him at the end of 2008.
Eddery and his wife, who have two daughters and a son, underwent a reportedly acrimonious divorce the following year.
Paul Eddery, a successful jockey in his own right, said he had worked for his brother “24/7” for 13 months before they fell out and he was fired in November 2009.
Details of the case emerged during a hearing for unfair dismissal at an employment tribunal in Reading, Berkshire.
Paul Eddery told the judge in the case that he had gone to help his brother in October 2008, when he was told Eddery was finding it hard to manage his 100 acre stable and the collapse of his marriage.
The alarm was raised by Eddery’s daughter Natasha who rang her uncle to tell him she was worried about her father, the hearing was told.
Paul Eddery, from Newmarket, said he immediately drove across to the Musk Hill Stud near Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire to help him.
“I went down there and obviously I found him and went back to the house with him,” he told the tribunal.
“The next day I went to sort out the yard and I stayed there all week.
“The following week… he said, ‘Why don’t you come down and work as my assistant trainer?’
“At that time I only had three or four years left riding and thought it was a nice opportunity.”
Paul Eddery said his brother – who won more than 4,600 British flat races in a career spanning four decades – was initially “not very well” and added that the pair did not discuss business because he was so ill.
“I kept him with me because he was depressed because his wife left him.”
The tribunal heard that Paul Eddery did not start invoicing his brother until November 2008 and did not become a formal employee until June 2009.
Until then, Edddery had paid his sibling expenses and money for petrol.
“I did not see a problem at that stage in the relationship,” said Paul Eddery.
“From October, November and December my relationship with Patrick just kept getting better and better.
[b]“But it deteriorated for personal reasons that I would rather were not brought up.”
Paul Eddery said he was sacked in November 2009.
When questioned about their deteriorating relationship, he replied: “Pat got involved with somebody that made things difficult.”
When asked by the judge if this had led to his dismissal, Paul Eddery replied: “No.” [/b]
But, during the hearing, Judge Robin Lewis said it was not his job to intervene in family disputes.
“When brothers fall out they go out and have a drink to solve their problems - they don’t normally come to a building like this.”
At the end of the evidence, Judge Lewis threw the case out due to a technicality.
He said a claim of unfair dismissal could only proceed if the claimant proved that they had been employed by the respondent for at least one year and that was not true in this case.
The judge said it sounded liked he was “a man doing a family favour” for a sibling “in distress and need”.
“I cannot allow this case to go any further,” he said. “The evidence that you have given is that you gave your brother, at a time of crisis, support.
“Athough I fully accept this is true, it is not evidence of an employment relationship.”
Mr Eddery, who then dropped a secondary claim for breach of contract, refused to comment as he left the hearing.
Derek Shockledge, racing manager of Eddery’s racing yard, said: “We were always confident that there was nothing to answer.
“As far as we were concerned, it is done and dusted.”
Mr Shockledge would not comment on why the brothers had fallen out and Eddery was not present at the tribunal.
It has been reported that Eddery’s ex-wife has now joined Jeremy Noseda’s yard in Newmarket. Noseda is married to Paul Eddery’s ex-wife Sally.
