The PC has been replaced by something called an "Expert Fee" which at least is based on the profitability of an individual over a 12 month rolling period rather than profits over a lifetime. Betfair wouldn't have done this if it weren't for the fact that liquidity has been affected by both the PC and also affordability checks. Not sure how they get around the latter.Starinnaddick said:Betfair premium charge has been scrapped not that I was ever in danger of paying it. Lol2 -

@PeanutsMolloy
I see my old friend and "monkey" of a racehorse, Mr Incredible (if ever a horse was mis-named given that it is likely to never live up to his name, then this was it), has changed ownership and moved from Willie Mullins to Sandy Thompson. It runs for the first time in the Rowland Meyrick, over a trip that would be asking a hell of a lot for him to win it but I'd take some sort of indication that the change of scenery has rejuvenated the boy (i.e. he actually tries to race!). To be honest, despite the fact he will still only be a 9-year-old come the New Year, it's still a hell of a gamble from the new owners that he has actually changed his ways. That said, horses certainly do and I love to be proven wrong!!!1 -
Sorry to miss this @Addick Addict
Interesting - if Sandy's taken a punt (and I wouldn't blame them if the sum was sensible) I'm definitely having a lash at 25/1 first time out.
He wasn't without a turn of foot in earlier days so wouldn't rule him out - IF he starts!!
£40, on the nose.

Should've reckoned he'd drift
I guess the owner figures he's put enough ££ down already.
Gonna put down another £20 at 50+ though there's some nibbling going on Betfair.
A binary bet ..., that I'll probably rue as soon as the flag drops.

Have had a small poke - if AA and PM agree, it's generally worth a little dabble! Others I like today:
Bingoo - 1.40 Aintree
Envoi Allen - 2.30 Kempton
Lord Accord - 2.38 Wincanton
Will happily sit and watch the rest with a lot of shorties in the races that I'm most interested in re Cheltenham!2 -

Refused to race. Seriously it really is time that they retired the horse. Hope the owners didn't pay too much for it.1

What a horse... ridiculous1

It’s such a shame.
So much for those who claim horses are forced to race.1 -

No worries! If he'd have run then great; as it is you pays your money you takes your chances! We move on.2

That was some chase debut from Sir Gino!2

I thought Ballyburn had a serious engine, but that pales in comparison to Sir Gino. Thought he jumped pretty green as well for the most part (understandably being on debut)
Imagine Ballyburn will go the three miler now.1 -

Even a great horse like Shishkin RIP, didn't want to start on a couple of occasions and I remember once at Ascot, yet he won six grade 1's and after looking up for it nearly won the King George before it went pear shape.
Horses can be quirky and "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink"...

he can afford it, big prices being paid for NH horses with little prospect of the rich buyers making their money back .. McManus has a bit of history of buying success in big racesguinnessaddick said:.0 -
Yates wants to leave the sport and is probably trying to cash in whilst he can. He's had his successes but also shelled out massive amounts on the likes of Don Poli who he paid £170,000 and also £620,000 on Interconnected with neither horse winning a race in his colours.2

Very much agree with Darren Yates
"I'm delighted the horse has gone to JP because when I stand back and look at racing in the UK and Ireland I don't know where we would be without him."
There's no owner with a better record for looking after his horses.
Top man.1 -
Yates also insisted that the two Skeltons would carry on training and riding the horse respectively which JP, of course, agreed to.PeanutsMolloy said:Very much agree with Darren Yates

Palladium, the most expensive purchase in NH history at £1.2m, is about to run at Huntingdon0

Despite a late drift, it duly won albeit with the minimum ease one would expect from a purchase of that nature. Today wasn't the day to make a proper judgement but a stepping stone to, potentially, greater things.Addick Addict said:Palladium, the most expensive purchase in NH history at £1.2m, is about to run at Huntingdon1 -
