  1. Not a bad day 2 with the big treble landing and Skybet paying out 5 places on Fishery Lane at 40/1.

    There is arguments for and against both horses to be honest.

    Embassy Gardens blew up last year at Cheltenham but has looked impressive this year, his jumping especially.

    Corbetts Cross had his own problems at Cheltenham last year when he ran into the railings at the last hurdle. His jumping has been a bit suspect at times this year but has a really good chance if he jumps well. He is a bit quirky but the trainer is top class to be fair so I'd imagine he will have him spot on for this.

    I picked Embassy Gardens as he tends to make ground at his fences rather than lost ground. Something Corbetts Cross has been at risk of in the past.

    Some training performance in the last. Well done.

    How confident are you in Embassy Gardens? I only have one treble and have Corbett’s Cross on it :lol:

    Why is that?

    I don't follow British racing at all so have no idea.

    Quite a few issues to be honest.

    The schedule needs totally scrapped and redone imo. There is far to many meetings which is effecting prize money and sponsorship.

    In Britain, trainers are also very reluctant to put their best horses against one another until the week of Cheltenham. This wasn't the case say 10-15 years ago. This is leading to big races having field sizes of 3 or 4. This is also putting people off attending race courses.

    Affordability checks are also beginning to cause problems for punters and prospective new owners. I think this will only get worse in all honesty.

  6. What a week of sport with this and the football on Thursday, buzzing is an understatement.

    My bets for Tuesday will be;

    Supreme Novice - Mistergif main bet, Asian Master ew

    Arkle Chase - Hunters Yarn

    Ultima - Famous Bridge ew

    Champion Hurdle - No bet (may stick few quid ew on Nemean Lion if it continues to drift)

    Mares Hurdle - Lantry Lady ew

    Boodles - Ndaawi main bet, Latin verse ew

    National Hunt Chase - Embassy Gardens

    Trannysorearse. 

    Wednesday is huge for us. If we come away from Rugby Park with 3 points we'll be in great shape for the run in. 

    Apart from the Old Firm I'd fully expect us to take full points in the rest of the games before the split. 

    That would mean a worst case scenario of being a point behind with the post split fixtures still to play and obviously depending on how the Old firm goes the possibility of being at least 5 ahead. 

    Agree with this, Wednesday night is huge.
