I don't think he will be without a chance.

Any word on Junior?

Is it better to bet EW?

An Each Way bet is made up of 2 parts: the ‘Win' and the ‘Place'.
Each part is an equal stake, e.g. a £1 Each Way bet will have £1 on the ‘Win' and £1 on the ‘Place' (a total stake of £2).
The ‘Win' part of your bet is on your selection to win the event, and the ‘Place' part is on your selection to finish either first or in one of the pre-determined places.
If your selection wins, both the ‘Win' and ‘Place' parts of your bet will pay out. But if your selection only places, you will lose the ‘Win' part of your bet (and lose that part of the stake) but get paid out on the ‘Place'.
The odds for the ‘Place' are given as a fraction of the odds for the ‘Win' and will be displayed to you when you place your bet.

A weird day for me. The first race tought when Nina jumped the last she was a shoe in for the race up the dreaded hill got to her horse and it was going up and down it seemed in 1 place and got robbed on the line at a decent price it would of been.
Sprinter Sacre was great a brilliant ride by Barry on it again. A shame Sizing stumbled on the turn and lost a few lengths to Sprinter on the turn but fair play to Sizing for taking on Sprinter at the old age of 11. I will miss Sizing Europe as I just cant see him racing again in Cheltenham.
The last race and Ruby saved me done it each way a small bet but fuck it. The Irish are doing well so far with 2 more days to go.

I dont think it would of mattered if he had fallen and remounted
Sprinter would of still beaten him up and spat him out
To pummel the reigning champion into submission like that was breathtaking
The new frankel of the sticks is here for a few years ready to destroy everything in his path :)

A true superstar is born, 19 lengths was breathtaking as you say CM, the Frankel of the Jumps for sure.

I meant to say past reigning champion before anyone pulls me up :)
Yes bluebee if he stays injury free another 3 or 4 champion chase wins will surely come his way
Wonder if henderson will go to the big punchestown meeting with him

What about Junior today Mark ? I was going to a have a small mugs double with Uncle Junior.

 

[welcometomanchester]

Quevega 5 timer impressive BUT a grade 1 horse running in a grade 2 race and winning?

They should of gone for the world hurdle.

Wonder if henderson will go to the big punchestown meeting with him

The Times are reporting that Henderson said yesterday that it was likely they would.

I asked about Junior this morning.

Has the stamina and the ground suits. Hopeful rather than confident.

They said if he's in touch at the bottom of the hill then he has a great chance.

Jason Maguire schooled him last week and felt happy on him.

I'm on EW.

 

[GX Blue]

Im on Junior EW today - 28/1.

Could do with a Cue Card win today!!!!

 

[bluesmith]

I went today - 0 from 7!!!

Couldn't believe Ruby Walsh and Willie Mullins won the last at 25/1 - pissed it and nobody backed it!!!

I did it antepost at 120 only for 3 quid but still a nice win
