From what I can make out - one of the favourites, Solwhit is on the brink of pulling out due to a bad scope - could be a good time to have a bet on the race while most bookies are offering NR/No Bet.

Solwhit is 5s with most bookies and 19 on Betfair

Not sure what you're getting at, I was suggesting betting on anyone else before their odds shorten.Originally Posted by mathare

If Solwhit has scoped dirty then he's likely to be pulled from the race making him a potential lay as Betfair markets are 'all bets stand run or not'. The exchange market has reacted to the potential withdrawal by pushing him out to 19s while the bookies are still only offering 5/1, although this represented a bit of a movement outwards. I was simply pointing out how different these reactions were. Normally when a horse is 19s on the exchanges you'd expect to be able to get something like 14s at least from a bookie, not 5/1. The bookies still weren't prepared to take a chance on Solwhit but exchange punters (layers at least) were.

What a difference a year makes?,do you remember a year ago the same horse backed as a good thing with several reported bets of £70000 - £40000.I wonder if the same people backed him yesturday.

I heard there was only 1/2 as much money riding on the Champion Hurdle as the Supreme Novice.
Think I said in another thread, 2nd strings (tho I think he was the third) & last years favourite, well that seems a good race for it.
But it was a case of out of site, out of mind with that Binocular for me yesterday. When I loaded the entries for the race into my spreadsheet, Binocular wasn't among them & he never got a mention in last week's Weekender stable interview with his trainer - dodgy so & so, that Henderson!
