Master Minded

[RuleBritannia]

Now, as impressive as he was (and he was mighy impressive) today, does the top price of 8/11 for the Champion Chase represent good value?? He is generally much shorter than that with most bookies, lowest priced at 1/2. Surely these are ridiculous odds for a race which is over 4 months away still??? I understand the reasoning as to why he would be favourite etc.... but surely these odds are only for punters like Findlay etc... to get stuck into?? Also, it was good to see Choc get stuck right into Twist Magic until he fell, was like the Twist Magic we seen when winning last season. Whether or not he would have beaten MM is doubtful, as even in the closing stages, AP never once asked MM to go and empty the tanks.

Re: Master Minded RB, What percentage chance do you believe Master minded has of winning the Champion Chase? 8/11 represents a 58% chance of winning. Would you say his chance is more or less? When considering his form is so much better than any other 2 mile chaser. At least a stone in hand. Added to that a probability that the likes of Voy Por Ustedes, Tidal Bay and Noland will go for the Ryanair. Master Minded is so far a sound racehorse and if getting there, is likely to start around 1/5 or shorter. Therefore I'd certainly rather be a backer than a layer at 8/11. Twist Magic in the past has not found a great deal under pressure. Doubt if he would have even finished second. Barely gets 2 miles and probably will not be at his best around Cheltenham. Ginge
