I advised a bet on Exotic Dancer to win the Gold Cup with a view to laying him off when his price contracted. That was 6 weeks ago when Exotic Dancer was 33/1. After a comfortable win in today's Lexus Chase at Leopardstown, the JohnJo O'Neill trained horse who has now won €750,000 in his career, and the eight year old has now been cut by the bookies to prices between 12/1 and 16/1. I'm going to weigh up my options before deciding to lay him off. Watch this space.
My only bet of the Christmas holiday on horses was Tatenen, but the Paul Nicholls horse under a strong ride from Sam Thomas, got beaten by the shortest of short heads.

i fancied him strongly last year, very disapointing, the horse i like in the race this year is albertas run, i've also backed sublimity at big prices for the ch,
must agree with ted walsh, mike dillon thinks punters are loonys shouting evens about binocular, a lot to prove
