    Hi @MrJol I am not so sure that this is true.  If Corals quoted the price of 20/1 then, even if this was only for 10 minutes then according to the rules this could be checked and verified and then the bet would stand wouldn't it? Even if it was an error that was corrected later.  That's the way I see it anyway; which I feel  would have been unfair to be settled at 20/1 had the horse won.

    Corals don't do BOG the day before so rules state SP will be used, simple. Try reading them lol

    @BillyHills I truly think that serious consideration should be given to using SP for the Naps competition.  Last Monday @Johnrobertson posted up a Nap on the previous day in the 4.15 at Lingfiled for First Link at 20/1 with Coral.  What I feel would have been grossly unfair would have been if the horse had won and then it be declared as a 20/1 winner for John.

     

    If it had won @BillyHills would have settled it at SP it states this in the rules.

    Not when he beat Wayward Lad in 86! I had a bit of an issue with gambling in those days and lost more than I could afford. Drowned my sorrows in the pub afterwards but at least picked up a decent chick (apologies if not PC) so not all bad news.

    I think you will find that was Dawn Run who won in 86.

    Kempton 20.00   ARTOIS   100/1 Betvictor

    This horse has won one race and that was back in september 2018, beaten 160 lengths in all his other 5 races, yes you did read that right just 5 races he's been beaten 160 lengths. The race he won was over a mile, which it is again. The course he won at was Kempton, which it is again. There is a saying "horses for courses"  Just saying ;)

    Down to 50/1 now.

    I was watching RTV the other night and they were doing 'favourite Cheltenham memories' to fill time between races and none of them mentionned Desert Orchid winning the Gold Cup !

    'Dessie' was the most popular horse in training but it was widely thought that he couldn't win a Gold Cup as he was better on right handed tracks and hasd been champion two miler ...... the King George was his race. 

    Here's the race finish ........ he had to fight !

     

    This was going to be one of my next vids, everyone loved Dessie didn't they?

    Many thanks for your insight.

    I find that one has to learn to read between the lines with racing comments on racecards. I use the Racing Post, the Sporting Life website and ATR with Timeform comments and verdicts.  The writer on the Sporting Life website very often gives a very different verdict to that on the Odds Checker website "Sporting Life Preview".  Sometimes I'm not sure if he is taking the mickey out of us punters or just playing dutch with his selections.  Either way, I think he is a very cheeky monkey

       

    I've noticed a lot of the comments on  ATR with timeform are pretty much alike, I use them as a starter, read the horses race form and watch the vids. Sometimes I just pick a horse because I like it and know how it can run when on song, just like my 33/1 winner Dolphin Village this month. Got three or four what I pick regardless of there form.

    Does it take you long to find your selections? You mentioned 6 earlier on.  It takes me hours to find mine.  Whether or not you back them I feel that PL is much the better for having your contribution. 

    My nap can take me ages, watch the video's read the form, Do it all on ATR. 

    The six earlier were picked using the comments next to the horses, nothing special about them lol.
