Have a look at Captain K in the 2.40 at Lingfield (if it runs)

It ran yesterday (I backed it) and its been dropped down to 7f today

9-2 (9-2) Raced keenly, tracked leaders, went 2nd 3f out, led approaching final 2f and went clear, ridden over 1f out, headed and no extra final 100 yards, 2nd of 9, 2 1/4l behind Royal Blessing (9-5) at Wolverhampton 1m 1f hcp (7) pol in Jan

If it does run it might be worth a small puntypoo

EDIT: I'm not saying it WILL win before some irate SC'er wants to toast my nads

Thanks for the tip . I've now put my life savings on it. So when the missus has left me and I'm homeless and sleeping in Tesco's car park I'll be holding you responsible .

Saw this on sky bet before Christmas with Moon Racer instead of Death Duty at 128/1 and thought why not put a couple of quid on it

I prefer the Douvan, Altior, Uknowwhatimeanharry and Moon Racer at 28/1 personally!

Just rechecked my bet i put on it is actually Altior, Moon Racer, Douvan and Uknowwhatimeanharry at 125/1 which is now like Buttons say is trading at 28/1. Put it on December 8th on skybet.

Racing Post reporting the gamble now

Quartet supported into single figure prices

BY JACK HAYNES 11:46AM 9 FEB 2017

INTEREST in Thursday's racing may well soar by mid afternoon after four horses were the subject of what appears significant price cuts.

13-year-old Giant Sequoia, formerly trained by Barney Curley and now in the care of Des Donovan, has been backed from a best price of 16-1 with Betfair last night into as short as 13-8 with Bet Victor in the 3.10 at Lingfield, while Genuine Approval, trained by John Butler - another with links to Curley - has been supported into 6-1 (from 33) with Betfred in the concluding race (4.50).

Butler's bumper horse My Boy Geoffrey has also been popular in the market and is now 6-1 (from 50) with Betfair, and as short as 4-1 with William Hill in the finale at Huntingdon (4.30).

The fourth horse, Menelik, trained by Donovan, is now 5-2 (from 6) with Paddy Power and 15-8 with Stan James at Chelmsford this evening (8.00).

When asked to comment on the market moves, Butler said: "I hope both of my horses run well for their owners."

The Donovan-trained Indus Valley was also the subject of overnight support, being backed into 3-1 (from 16) with bet365, before being declared a non runner just before 10.00am this morning after being found to be coughing.

'We managed to flag it up early'

Michael Shinners, racing PR manager at Sky Bet, predicts a six-figure payout would be the cost to the firm if all four horses were to win.

Shinners said: "There does tend to be a certain paranoia when it comes to these gambles and people may have latched onto an online posting last night regarding the horses.

"Subsequently these horses have been supported from big prices and if they were to all win it would take out a fairly significant amount of money - we'd be looking at paying out over £200,000 but nowhere near £500,000.

"For a bog standard Thursday, it would be significant money for the horses but very few people have placed multiples at big prices as we managed to flag it up early on as we had to be cautious due to the size of the prices.

"It will be interesting to see how the betting changes for the other horses after Giant Sequoia has ran. The bumper horse My Boy Geoffrey, who has been the best backed, could go off odds on or 50-1, depending on how the first horse fares."

Market movers

3.10 Lingfield 9 Giant Sequoia 16-1 into 4 (Betfair) - as short as 13-8 (BetVictor)

4.30 Huntingdon 6 My Boy Geoffrey 50-1 into 6 (Sky Bet, Betfair) - as short as 4 (William Hill)

4.50 Lingfield 6 Genuine Approval 33-1 into 6 (Betfred) - as short as 5 (Stan James/Ladbrokes)

8.00 Chelmsford 3 Menelik 6-1 into 5-2 (Paddy Power) - as short as 15-8 (Stan James)

I'm no expert but having looked at these, they seem to me to be a bunch of donkeys which wouldn't even be given a second glance if you were having a bet in those races. I'm going to run with that and take on th first of these with Le Tissier in the 3.10

Which means there's two you can rule out

 

[dagraham]

Have a look at Captain K in the 2.40 at Lingfield (if it runs)

It ran yesterday (I backed it) and its been dropped down to 7f today

9-2 (9-2) Raced keenly, tracked leaders, went 2nd 3f out, led approaching final 2f and went clear, ridden over 1f out, headed and no extra final 100 yards, 2nd of 9, 2 1/4l behind Royal Blessing (9-5) at Wolverhampton 1m 1f hcp (7) pol in Jan

If it does run it might be worth a small puntypoo

EDIT: I'm not saying it WILL win before some irate SC'er wants to toast my nads

Thanks for the tip . I've now put my life savings on it. So when the missus has left me and I'm homeless and sleeping in Tesco's car park I'll be holding you responsible .

Can you lend me a sleeping bag? It's the least you can do.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

There you have it, the first one is due to pass the winning post sometime in the next ten minutes

1st horse beaten

 

[dagraham]

Lol. Giant Sequoia. More like Giant fucking turd.

Luckily I only put a quid on. Still, I have one more of the donkeys on the bet slip, and it's the favourite. With a mind boggling return of £2.75.

 

[tototoner]

i will give the last 3 a miss now which almost certainly means they will all romp home

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Brooke's Point beaten. Well, beaten is kind. It passed the finish line well down the field and ran straight into the nearest dairy and will next be seen pulling a milk cart.

 

[dagraham]

Shite . I had big plans for that £2.75.

 

[stonecolddeanaustin]

Reminded me of this old classic.



(watch from about 26-29 minutes)

I promise myself never again whenever these go wrong but I still can't resist them, every fucking time!

 

[buttons]

Well that went well!

I'm guessing someone has made a f*ck ton of money laying those horses today...!

Edit. Not me, I might add.

 

[buttons]

Menelik won the last leg of the acca!

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Menelik won the last leg of the acca!

I just checked my account, I had £2 on at 6/1

Party time!
