    Just had a few quid on the brilliant Ladbroke chase on Friday at Newbury

    the key to this race is how good can Santini be and a race at Newbury a couple of weeks ago (best novice chase this season) where the 1st 3 face each other again
    La Bague Au ra
    Lost in translation
    Talkischeap

    Now Thomas Campbell, was 4th in this race and has won since. Santini is in the same ownership.

    i said after the race that La baque jumped the best, lost In was super fit but the one that took the eye was Talkischeap yet the 1st two are 4/1 and Talkischeap is 25/1! Talk cantered round and although I had a bet on Thomas Campbell, i thought "how far" Talk 3 out. it was never put in the race at anytime as La Bague and Lost battled it out to the line with talk still seemingly going well. Now two out it was cantering and its 2 furlongs shorter Friday.....I have just a reasonably sized bet ew on it, reduced from a max as the word from Hendersons yard is this Santini could be something special over fences

    All in all its a brilliant race and win lose or draw you must watch it!

    Why bother betting if its not about the money?
    Pot, kettle, black. TEAM JOE rests it case. Good luck with your selection. Hippo's buffonery is certainly entertaining.

    is there a need to chase people around the forum slagging them, if you feel the need to slag off people go back to the main thread.

    we are all here for opinions and what people think.
    its a racing forum.

    What about Buveur D'Air Hippo, straight enough to beat the race fit Samcro?

    looks as if Santini probably wont run and La Bag now fav. Im hoping field gets smaller and smaller and Talkischeap is declared. Small movement to 20/1. Problem is MNewbutry is getting hit hard by the rain and I fear Heavy ground which may see loads of NRs. Butbthats the risk of Ante post

    all noises about Buveur D'Air are positive and i personally wouldnt fear Samcro...it will fall to pieces trying to keep up with Buveur.

    As predicted Santini is a NR but only 4 now entered where i need 5! Talkischeap is going to run and actually it has the same two horses to beat when i had the bet LaBague Au Roi and Lost In translation so in a way im still in the same position but would have liked the insurance of ew! Still 25/1 sis still value, win lose or draw

    would you not be covered by the ante post rule where as there were more than 8 runners when you backed talkischeap, your terms were 1.2.3, places.
  • Hippo

    Im actually checking that but i think because its gone below 5 runners theres some sort of get out clause like 1/2 my stake back etc Im on the case!

    shows as placed for the f/c but your unlikely to get paid for 2nd in a 4 horse race
    unless you took each way extra (cant do these in doubles)
