Got the week off work to watch the festival on the box. Anyone got any tips?

Mind you it is called dirty bum.

Chocolate Starfish in the 3.30.

Cheltenham is nearly upon us, does anyone have any tasty information?

Ah cheltenham, can't wait . !

So excited!

Alright, that's the daftness done :hihi:. Oh, and threads merged.

There 'should' be a very short priced double in Masterminded (Queen Mother Champion Chase) and Voy Por Ustedes (Ryanair Chase), but there are never any certainties, certainly not at THE Festival!

I was reading one of the Cheltenham previews earlier, and from what I saw there, just forget about Punchestowns' last run. He'll be properly wound up for the World Hurdle. There wasn't a lot more to go on, but there are a couple more I've not read yet.

The ground is expected to be a little quicker than last year, but pretty much perfect jumping ground by Tuesday.

Anyone got the winners of the Coral Cup and County Hurdle sorted yet :P?

My tip is don't waste money on horse racing.

Harchibold will come cruising for ew backers in the champion hurdle. Oppose master minded at odds on. Sublimity for me is the best value all week but time will tell

Harchibald has such a high cruising speed, but that hill over 2m2f doesn't like him. That said, Binocular is far too short in the betting for me. Flatter tracks with a strong pace, such as when he won at Kempton at Xmas seem to be Harchibald's hammer really. That said, he's certainly talented enough to reach the frame ...... again!

Masterminded has to beat himself to lose on ratings. The second last has been completely modified now, so that fence shouldn't prove any more of an obstacle. One to watch and be spellbound by, and believe me, I'm no favourite backer!

Lough Derg has been so admirable this year, if he goes in the Coral Cup, 25/1 (Billy Hill) could be a very big price.

Planet Of Sound looks a cracking bet at about 8/1 or 9/1 in the Arkle as well.

I live in Cheltenham now, and am not looking foward to it - the traffic alone is a nightmare! However, if someone would like to pay me for a night in my spare room, as opposed to paying a min of £100 a night for some crappy bnb.... well there's money to be made!

lough derg is a favourite of mine and has won me a few pennies and will always give you a race for your money.

I have one or two I will be putting up on the day, can't wait and perfect ground is a possibility, and may scupper some of the Irish mudlovers plans, Beware those Frenchies!!

The gold cup is the highlight, denman-kauto, madison du beaulieu looked class last time.. Denman dodgy ticker kauto running fresh mmmrrrr I'm with den-kauto STAR.

I have one for this afternoon, The Gossmoor Yank in the 3.45 at Wincanton :thumbsup:

Well......that was a fantastic tip :rolleyes:
One to blummin six, I must thank him for that. :rolleyes:

I'm going to do the usual and have a sweepstake on how many horses die.

A useful page to have at one's disposal.

I wunder how he found that?

Was having a look at the Supreme novices Hurdle earlier to see if I could find anything to beat Cousin Vinny. The long and short of it was 'not really', but 5/2F in that sort of race is too short for me.

The best I can come up with so far is GOLAN WAY (25/1) who holds American Trilogy (12/1) on their running in a Grade 2, will like the probable ground and is a slick jumper. From a smaller yard, so possibly overlooked.

Are there any superlatives left to describe A.P.Mccoy? I've just watched the ride he gave Wichita Lineman. Awesome!

my only winner today , unbelievable, only Mccoy could have got that home.
Half way through the race they were offering 59/1 on the exchanges.

I had a couple of quid on Punjabi, and had him in a Lucky 15 with Garde Champetre. I backed Punjabi more out of sentiment really. I've followed him since his first run over hurdles, and had he not fallen at Kempton, he'd have been a lot shorter.

I wasn't exactly confident, but just had that nagging feeling that something would lick Binocular. I don't like 'good things' at big Festivals!

backed coe in the first race , sue smith is good at getting average horses to jump well.

back to the drawing board .
mikael d'haguenet next race.


GET IN THERE ,TOOK 3/1.

NEXT RACE CARUTHERS.

Bet on The Queen's horse.

hit the third last in front.

Actually Sid, the Queen does have a runner on Friday in the big race of the week, the Cheltenham Gold Cup, and I do think it has an each-way squeak, but at 14/1 best odds is a little short for me to back each way.

I backed two horses today, Drumconvis which came 2nd at 22/1 and i had a score on Mikael d'houguent at 5/2 .

Nice one Silk Affair, 14-1 early price. Made up for Medermit yesterday, 2nd at 14-1 early price, who appeared a mite unlucky.

got 7/1 the last winner dunguib it finished 9/2.
