Cheltenham 2017

[Abertawe]

Couldn't pick my nose yesterday.

Today's ones to avoid.

1.30 neon wolf (win)
2.10 whisper (win)
2.50 peregrine run (win)
3.30 guard la victoire (ew)

Tin Soldier 9/1 and Douvan 1/4 in a win double for me today.

Looking across the cards, some of these short price favourites are well worth taking on although I'm still not sure if I will!

Looks like there is some nice each way value to be had particularly with SkyBet paying 4 places in the RSA and 6 places in the cross country so will play about with some each way multiples I think.

Our Kaempfer @ 14/1 looks a good shout to be placed with question marks over some of the front runners. Looking to put him in a ew trixie with Tin Soldier and Bless the wings @ 12/1 who I expect to run Cantlow close.

Safe to say Tin Soldier is my real big fancy today, two grade 3 wins over hurdles on heavier ground, Mullins has said better ground should suit, carrying less weight than Tombstone. The price is too good to leave alone for me. Really like the look of this horse

1.30 Brelade E/W
2.10 Royal Vacation
2.50 Taquin Du Seuil

Well the dogs came good eventually last night so my bank has built.

Haven't got time to write up a great deal as I'm off out soon, but here's mine for today...

1.30 Bacardys 7/2 - neon wolf's times look incredible but he's not beat much, and he's just short enough at 2/1 so I'll take him in, Bacardys only beaten by class chasers
2.10 Might Bite 7/2 - should be much too good for these provided he can get round. Miles clear when falling recent runs
2.50 Peregrine Run 10/1 ew - big fan, beat Wholestone at this track and has a lenient mark, strong fancy
3.30 Fox Norton w/o fav - might not be worth betting on, depends what price does
4.10 Auvergnat 15/2 - travelling like a dream at this track when unseating, then put it together to win at Punch handily, good jockey booked
4.50 Divin Bere 6/1 - should be shorter and is taking money all the time, fine horse who should have the beating of these
5.30 Someday 8/1 - great bumper horse, beating one of Mullins rising stars recently and the form from that race is pretty stamped

Might Bite, Auvergnat, Divin Bere & Peregrine Run in a lucky 15 too

I'm following you. Apart from the 1st I fancy the fav all day long

 

[Murphy]

Mine for today

13:30 Willoughby Court @ 12/1
14:10 Whisper @ 13/2
14:50 Peregrine Run & Who Dares Wins @ 28/1
16:10 Amazing Comedy @ 66/1
16:50 Neitzsche @ 25/1
17:30 Western Ryder.

Also had a treble of Tombstone, Douvan and Whisper.

 

[Murphy]

And belatedly, we're off!

Was at 14/1 as well.

 

[Abertawe]

If I had money on it I'd be screaming foul but as commentary said the best horsey won. Disappointing from Neon Wolf at the end there tbh.

 

[Abertawe]

Dunno how might bite recovered that. Great scenes if you were on it. Lost two noses now, skills.

The loose horse.

 

[Murphy]

Tits.

 

[Bobbin']

Not been a great festival this, Bookies cleaning up.

Might Bite was my only winner of the day and I only realised after picking myself off the floor having slid down the chair in despair after it veered off to the right (the horse that is). Fuck, that was close. Also lost on Neon Wolf. Onwards and upwards.

 

[blademan89]

Won fuck all today other than a couple of small e/w returns. 90 down for the day

always tomorrow & Friday mate.

You're not alone fella, the bookies have wiped the floor with the punter today.

 

[blademan89]

always tomorrow & Friday mate.

Too right. Stakes are getting upped too.

 

[Bobbin']

I would never recommend going chasing mate, especially as you've said you have had a problem before.

Big stakes can lead to bigger wins but also bigger losses.

Just looked through tommorrows cards and there isn't anything I'd go big on anyway. I'll be starting with £20 on top notch I think. You hear about that clown earlier who put £500,000 on douvan at 1/5 What a fucking idiot. What is the point ?

FairPlay.

Yeah, same punter had 400k on Altior yesterday. Obviously got more money than they know what to do with.

I'm with you, I like Top Notch and a couple of others, but no real strong fancies. May just not bet and enjoy the day stress free ready for Friday.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Apparently it was the same guy.

 

[Murphy]

Not looked at tomorrows card yet, but I fancy the Bookies may lose out with Uniwhatimeanharry and Un de Sceaux in particular. I'll probably back Empire of Dirt in the Ryanair, mind.

I'd probably be even more up if I'd have backed EW today, but I never do. Thought Neitzsche had it in the penultimate race, last jump cost him big time.

Awards to anyone who won any money today

 

[markpvfc]

Had a £20 free bet on Might Bite and thought it'd gone down until that loose horse guided him home.

 

[Robert Molenaar]

£40 down overall, not sure whether to bother or not for the rest of it.

Could be worse, could be that guy that had £500k on Douvan.

I wish I was that guy cos anyone who's got 500k spare to throw away can't be doing too bad. What a ridiculous bet from him. Putting half a million quid on a bet and relying on a fucking animal

 

[mossypne]

40 up today with wins on Might Bite and Cause of Causes.

 

[Moomin]

Picked up £70 from a £5 free bet after I backed Supasundae. Happy with that.

 

[Murphy]

Don't like the look of tomorrow having had a glance at the cards.

I was set to be all over Yorkhill and Lets Dance today but after how it's going for Mullins/Walsh I might look elsewhere!
