The Horse racing thread

Excuse my ignorance but what's the difference between hurdles and fences? if Big Bucks is such a good horse why isn't it in the Gold Cup?
Plenty of people on here seem to be making money anyway. hoors

The money coming in for Master Minded.  In a couple of points to 3's   Looks like a two horse race but I expect both Woolcombe Folly and golden Silver to play some sort of part!

Fences much bigger and tougher - hurdles really just a step. Big Bucks didn't take to fencing.

Is it possible to get Donnelly's Hollow the freedom of the board or something.

So far I've had 3 winners, a 2nd, a third and a faller. Doing each way doubles and trebles, I trebled my modest bet yesterday, and quadrupled today.

Thanks DH.

Actually. Just checking Betfair.

I had First Liutenant, which came in at 8.66 (First) and Captain CeeBee at 20.75 (Third). So if I had £2 E/W double, would it be 1.25 x 8.66 which is with £2 going to be 21.65 roughly going onto CeeBee which at third is 1/4 of 20.75 which is roughly 10.4. Should give returns of circa 112/113. Or am I reading that correct?

It only seems to have payed 30.1!!

It would work out the following NT  ( I think

Both horses would be considered placed...  So

FL Would be 8/4 = 2 x 2

CCB Would be 15/4= 3.75 x 2

So it would be 4 x 7 plus your 2 back...

IS it not the old fashioned 1 1/4 odds for the winner on Betfair multiples?

[Joxer]

Thats the way I would work it out.  Maybe I am wrong though...
