Youve probably all read about Champs work with Might Bite yesterday. Well it doesnt tell the whole story. Mite Bite did of course win the gallop but Champ was also tanking. I really think i have the winner of the Ballymore. in earlier posts i advised I have 4/1 for Champ (shortest ante post ive ever done but now starting to look a good thing and the only reason its still 11/4 is that it is now nrnb ie they are certain there will be nrs allowing them to add rule 4 deductions. the nrnb is terrible and all in the bookies favour. I used to love having my antepost bets and take a risk...the rewards were very rewarding ( i also have Brewinup a Storm at 50/1). Yes a few nrs but the difference in price meant still much better returns. I honestly think they come 1st and 2nd! i respect the irish horses but these two form lines are outstanding and I think Champ maybe something very special.
Cheers Dodd, the confidence after yesterday’s canter has just gone silly! I still think brewingupastorm will give it a race, but confidence is sky high. But its now not a backable price so id only bet what you can afford. Oddly i think it may go off evens or maybe odds on when JP pulls o briens
sadly yes Mugz. The NRNB is not covered by ante post rules, its covered by their rules ie they have now priced up a race (just like any day) and if there is a nr they can form new markets or rule 4. Of course you get your money back if a nr (unlike ante post - the risk you get for a bigger price). Its killing us bandits who try to steal a few quid! Luckily it looks almost certain my two will run and will both be shorter prices (brewingupastorm at 50/1 now 10/1 being the best).
