Cheltenham Festival

[Dave Smiths Love Child]

ok my favourite race meeting of all year, out of interest pick one horse in the whole meeting and see if you are a winner at the end

My race cert is Denman in Friday Gold Cup can get 4/1 which I feel is too generous, but its drifting so will wait until the day perhaps

Let be having your one fancy

[C C Csiders]

Next Wednesday in the Champion Bumper the last race of the day. Old McDonald.

William Hill. Best Price Odds. Fact.

Which is of course arrant nonsense. Will they be best price on every horse throughout the 26 races of the Festival? Of course they won't.

I'm really looking forward to the Festival; that roar from the crowd when the runners set off for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle is something else. No bets yet, but will be placing plenty of mug Lucky 15s next week no doubt.

I use William Hill, and there is some truth in that. If you take a price (ie 7-1), and the winner comes in at 8-1, they pay you the higher price, on all UK racing. So you always get the best available

Only had 1 early bet on Cheltenham, in the Wordl Hurdle on Thurday. EW on sentry duty, in the race which should go to Big Bucks

As do Stan James, bet365, Ladbrokes and Paddy Power

[steveo]

On the radio yesterday, any losing bet on the first race of the meeting will be refunded if the Favourite wins.

[Uncle Leo]

Just got this from bet365, one of SZ's affilaites:

An offer so good, you need to be told thrice.

[Uncle Leo]

An offer so good, you need to be told thrice.

Ahem. Not sure what happened there :unsure:

[steveo]

On the radio yesterday, any losing bet on the first race of the meeting will be refunded if the Favourite wins.

Should have said Paddy Power

[Uncle Leo]

I've gone with that Paddy Power offer. Backed McCoy's mount, second favourite Get Me Out Of Here. If Dunguib wins, money back.

Note that the money back offer applies only to the win part of your bet, so if you had £5 e/w on a horse that was unplaced, you'd only get £5 back, not the whole £10.

[southend4ever]

I hear Getmeoutofhere is being backed in...

[Uncle Leo]

I hear Getmeoutofhere is being backed in...

Nah, drifting like a barge. Out to 5/1, has touched 11/2.

[C C Csiders]

Exmoor Ranger in the 2.40 E/W

[southend4ever]

betting shop absolutely rammed in london!! just backed get me out of here which lost by nothing!! well almost..

Have bets on the 3.20 kyber kim and binocular.
4.00 - l'ami
2.05 - riverside theatre.

[southend4ever]

Nah, drifting like a barge. Out to 5/1, has touched 11/2.

i backed it... was talked up 3 mins before the race in betfred and subsequently backed in. couldnt have been closer to be honest other than a photo!

[EastStandBlue]

Never back horses, purely because it's a sport I have next to no knowledge of, but I've been told to go e/w on Wishfull Thinking in tomorrows Coral Cup.

£5 e/w at 14's with Ladbrokes.

[Uncle Leo]

I backed Get Me Out Of Here e/w, so just sneaked a £1.25 profit on my £10 unit stake. Now it's e/w Lucky 15 time:

2:05 Somersby
2:40 The Package
3:20 Celestial Halo
4:00 Monkerhostin

[Shrimpersarmy]

Had £5 e/w on Menorah. Decent start to the festival for me!

[Uncle Leo]

Two races, two seconds. This better not be a repeat of my 2008 bout of Cheltenham Seconditis!

[chadded]

Theatrical Moment in the 2.40.

[Uncle Leo]

That's THREE seconds now. By a head, 3/4 of a length and a head again.

Aaaaaaarrrrrgggghhhh!

[Museshrimper]

I've been the same on the past two races :(

AND a second place. 100% plus 4/5s of my stake... bingo! Good day's racing.

[Uncle Leo]

2:05 Somersby
2:40 The Package
3:20 Celestial Halo
4:00 Monkerhostin

Started promisingly with two places, but fizzled out; one more place would have put me in profit but it wasn't to be. Overall, a loss of £8.58 on the day.

Looking at the Ladbrokes fieldbooks, this has by and large been a horrible day for punters. To borrow a line from this morning's Independent, there will be Irishmen having to swim home after Dunguib's defeat!

[Dave Smiths Love Child]

Only one bet yday and that was ew on Menorah, but took 10/1 and ended at 12/1, but still a tidy profit.

First race at Cheltenham is a right mare ,but will put ew on Fabula McCain jnr horse

[Tilly hates yellow boots]

Fancy Quel Esprit in the 2:05

[class]

Kalahari King is a very strong ew at 9/2 in the 3.20.

[sussex by the sea]

I cannot resist backing Well Chief each way at 40/1 in a 9 runner race

[Uncle Leo]

Today's e/w L15:

2:05 Peddlers Cross
2:40 Long Run
3:20 Kalahari King
4:00 Deutschland

[steveo]

Today's e/w L15:

As you are our resident expert, and I know nothing about horses, I went with your picks as well.

[steveo]

No, no, don't do that! I'm worse than useless.

Oh well, another monkey down the crapper.

[southend4ever]

My bets for today...

1.30 - 2 outsiders... gentle ranger and pennek
2.05 finnians something or other
2.40 diamond harry (quite like favourite punchestown not liking the odds)
3.20 twist magic (master minded is quality but again odds are rubbish)
5.15 drumbaloo

[southend4ever]

I cannot resist backing Well Chief each way at 40/1 in a 9 runner race

It is unlikely 3 or 4 horses will drop down and die in 1 race!!!

[marvel315]

used my free bet from 'the sun' to back peddlers cross in the 2.05

£7 from 20p - nice

other bets today - £1 e/w double on citizen vic (2.40) and master minded (3.20)

£1 e/w forpadydeplasterer (3.20)

[Uncle Leo]

Today's e/w L15:

2:05 Peddlers Cross
2:40 Long Run
3:20 Kalahari King
4:00 Deutschland

A winner and two places, so a small profit of about £7.50. Had Deutschland won - or even been placed - in the 4:00 it would have been a tidy little profit, but nevermind. Still money in the account for tomorrow's fun!

[EastStandBlue]

Coming right into that hurdle, Wishfull Thinking looked in a fantastic position... This is why I don't bet on horses.

[southend4ever]

Uncle Leo - good work - Drumbaloo at 5.15 for me or a bad day at the races.

[Shrimpersarmy]

1 winner (Big Zeb) and 1 place today (BecauseIcouldn'tsee) out of 3 bets, so another pretty succesful day! Had Huntersview held on in the 4.40 i would be quids in!!

[CyrilSneer]

Bet five races today, all £5 each way singles

1:30 Presenting Forever LOST
2:05 Summit meeting LOST
2:40 Burton Port PLACE
3:20 Big Zeb WON
4:00 Spirit River WON

Staked £50 Won £200. Good result

[Dave Smiths Love Child]

How the hell did the stewards decide to ban both Nina Carberry and Kate Walsh in the second race after a ding dong battle to the line, ,ok I agree excess use of the whip should be punishable, but this was two horses/jockeys trying to win, can you imagine the uproar if they both hands and heeled and got beat into 2nd and 3rd spot
Rant over

Sentry Duty ew to day my bet

[southend4ever]

Good luck all punters today.
My bets to follow.
Any suggestions for today?

[steveo]

Waiting for Uxbridge

[Dave Smiths Love Child]

Unluckiest horse yesterday Many rivers lost by about 6 lengths and staying on like a train in the Peddlers Cross race, but was badly hampered at the second fence when Ruby Walsh fell and lost a good 10 lengths ( Guess who backed him ), well worth a look if it runs at Aintree ?

Galant Nuit last race Ferdy Murphy and Nina Carberry looks a good eway,I allways do Sue Smith in the chase meeting and she has a runner in the first race with R McGrath Gansey

My three ew today

Gansey
Sentry duty
Galent Nuit

That narrows the field down for you guys to find the winner after mine have fallen !!

[southend4ever]

Come on Uncle Leo.

[Uncle Leo]

I won't be able to follow the racing this afternoon, so doubt I'll be betting. Best I can offer you is a Yankee that one of my colleagues is placing.

13:30 Awesome George 25-1
14:05 Smoking Aces 12-1
14:40 Voy Por Ustedes 16-1
16:00 Chapoturgeon 12-1

I'll be back in our London office tomorrow, so will definitely be getting involved then!

[CyrilSneer]

My bets today

205 Smoking aces
240 Deep Purple and J'y Vole
320 Sentry Duty
400 Sunyhill boy

Backed all £5 E/w, except Sentry Duty who I have backed £25 E/W antepost. Sticking with Sunyhill boy even though McCoy isnt riding him as usual because of the weight

also had a 50p e/w lucky 15 on Smoking aces, Deep purple, Sentry Duty and Sunyhill boy

[southend4ever]

Great aggression from you Sneer!!

I've just lost 50 notes on Awesome George.

I am on board smoking aces... TO WIN! COME ON

[CyrilSneer]

smoking aces very disappointing. Was hard at work a long way out

[The General]

Ive done a lucky 31 E/w bet and so far, i can see why i dont follow horses!! Jered and Smoking Aces have been my two picks so far and the next 3 are Albertas Run, Karabak and Songs of Songs - so my tip, avoid them three!!

:D

Kev

[southend4ever]

Cheers Kev.
Also avoid the tips uncle leo's workmate gave.

[CyrilSneer]

Sod tips. Pick your own. Its so much satisfying when they win

[southend4ever]

Sod tips. Pick your own. Its so much satisfying when they win

Well, I won't be taking that tip then... cheers :p

[The General]

Sod tips. Pick your own. Its so much satisfying when they win

They are my own tips Cyril!

:D

[The General]

Go me!!

Time for McCoy to shine this afternoon and here's hoping he can take Karabak to win the big one in half hour or so!

Kev

[CyrilSneer]

yh well done mate. Both Mine looked good 3 out, Deep Purple got squeezed into the fence, but Jyvole got me some money back with a place. McCoy is class

[The General]

Although i'm only doing this for a giggle, i did have a look in Ladbrokes at the form etc... and nearly wrote Copper Blue down to win the first race so could have been 2 from 3. McCoy doesn't look in good shape as hurt his leg but not sure how this effects his riding in just 25 mins time. Karabak in to 8/1 but Songs of songs is drifting from 8 to 10's.

Kev

[The General]

War of Attrition E/W seems a popular bet. Lets see how it goes.

[The General]

I'll update every 60-90 sec with front 3.

War of attrition leads early.

[The General]

WOA leads fair along

[The General]

time for rupert - WOA - big bucks

[The General]

big bucks is gunna ease this...

[The General]

big bucks, time for rupert, powerstation is the top 3 i think

[CyrilSneer]

Not good for me today. Need Sunnyhillboy or Taratino to come in to claw back some funds

[The General]

McCoy has his 2nd fall of the day as Songs of Songs was in 6th and was coming thru the field but Great Endeavour takes it with Sunny hill boy in 2nd!!

Kev

[steveo]

Anyone on Carruthers at 66/1?

Must be worth a couple e/w

[Swiss Tony]

Had a whisper for this last friday,Tarkari 2-05,strong claims by all accounts,worth a fiver e/w.

[southend4ever]

Anyone on Carruthers at 66/1?

Must be worth a couple e/w

Did this run the national last year?
I know the horse but can't remember much about it and I spotted it in the Standard last night...

I will have a quid each way.

[southend4ever]

Had a whisper for this last friday,Tarkari 2-05,strong claims by all accounts,worth a fiver e/w.

[Uncle Leo]

He's never run in the National, but was 4th in a decent race at Cheltenham last year.

The horse gets more media coverage than he probably merits as his owner - Lord Oaksey - used to be a Channel 4 Racing presenter and does a lot of work for the Injured Jockey Fund.

[Matt the Shrimp]

So, punters... who's it going to be: Kauto Star or Denman?

And why do some people pronounce "Kauto" as "Kayto"? Is it so that it rhymes with "Tayto"?

[steveo]

Neither for me, I've gone for Imperial commander EW

[Uncle Leo]

It's Kauto Star for me and I have just backed him. However, if a do an e/w L15 today, then I may have Tricky Trickster for the Gold Cup.

[southend4ever]

Uncle Leo - tell your mate he is absolutely shocking.

[southend4ever]

£500 e/w on Denman please.

[southend4ever]

I liked what the Metro pointed out this morning...

Denman 13/8 to win without Kauto Star...

[Uncle Leo]

Uncle Leo - tell your mate he is absolutely shocking.

I do on a daily basis, tips or no tips.

[southend4ever]

Who is Uncle Leo backing today?

[Uncle Leo]

I liked what the Metro pointed out this morning...

Denman 13/8 to win without Kauto Star...

Incidentally, if you think Kauto is going to hose up, Ladbrokes give you 6/5 he wins by five lengths or more.

Well, they do at the moment; a few people here in HQ are desperate to pull the offer!

Backed Kauto and if (probably when) I do a L15 I'll post it up here.

[southend4ever]

Top Work Leo.
Kauto will not romp home! He is a faller today.
Won't be pushed early.
Leave that bet up.

[CyrilSneer]

Carruthers is a front runner, may hold on for a place. Too busy to watch all races today, but ive had a bit of each way money on Tricky trickster. Needs further, but he could sneak a place. Also backed barizan at 33s in the first

[pringlejon]

Just deposited 10quid on totesport with £20 cashback through quidco (so straight away, £10 profit)...and put the 10er on Denman at 5-1, then got a £10 free bet put on "any given day" at 11-1. No idea about horse racing so pretty random picks based on half decent odds. Seems Denman has a chance. Dunno about the other, runs at 14:05.

[Uncle Leo]

Also backed barizan at 33s in the first

Wel done there Cyril; 16s now. Looking at the form, I couldn't work out why he was such a big price

Anyway, my e/w Luck 15 today is as follows:

Barizan
Tawaag
Restless Harry
Tricky Trickster

[The General]

My Lucky31 E/W.

1.30 Advisor
2.05 Tito Bustillo
2.40 Quel Esprit
3.20 Denman
4.00 Trust Fund

Avoid at your peril.

Kev

[The General]

So between myself and James, we've given you some runners to avoid ;)

[The General]

Barizan is walking it!! Nice start James!

[The General]

I spoke to soon! Soldatino wins it after Barizan blew a 25 length lead!

[Uncle Leo]

I spoke to soon!

Ah well. That's what you call a run for your money! And a 4/1 place is handy to have in the back pocket with three more races in the L15 to go.

[chadded]

Solditino is the first in a treble I have at odds of 230/1. won't happen though.

[class]

I also went for Advisor in the first, naturally it failed to place. :whistling:

[The General]

I also went for Advisor in the first, naturally it failed to place. :whistling:

TBH i dont even think i heard the thing get a mention!!

[chadded]

Frameit next. (which is running at Lingfield. hahaha. Woops.

[Shrimpersarmy]

Backed Barizan e/w at 33s last night! Gutted that he blew a 20l lead but at least i will get a few quid back!

[Museshrimper]

£2.50 ew on Carruthers at 66/1 is my only bet of the day.

[BrettieAngell]

2.50 e/w on tricky trickster.

[southend4ever]

Just done my testicles on Pittoni and Advisor...
But my main bed was gilted age each way which was there and looked good in fourth and then went backwards...

My bets for the 2.05... eradicate, maradonna and my lumped on is Puyol.

Puyol will bring me into profit but cheltenham is bigger and better than me so far in 2010.

[southend4ever]

who else u got chadded. u cant claim it afterwards. pound on it?

[southend4ever]

What are the odds of Tricky Trickster

[BrettieAngell]

I got 14's.

Cheers mate. back down there for an afternoon break then.

[The General]

[The General]

Thousand stars wins

[southend4ever]

rubbed tito up the wrong way. whoops.

[southend4ever]

**** of general. spoiling my fun mate. the dream is over. massively down.
Odds of this stupid horse?

[southend4ever]

20 -1 bullhang - none of mine in the running. back to roulette? hmm

[Uncle Leo]

Bloody hell. Arcalis, as a course and distance winner, was on my shortlist but I ruled him out in favour of Tawaag. That's a nice bit of place money gone begging.

[TrueBlue]

Tricky Trickster or Imperial Commander one of these WILL WIN the gold cup a friend of a friend got this info from a trainer

Would have preferred denman/imperial commander, no the other way round. Had £2 each way at 8/1 on Imperial.

Neither for me, I've gone for Imperial commander EW

Winner. Also did Carruthers and Mon Mone each way.

Woohooo.

[Museshrimper]

I'm guessing B365 are only paying out top 3? That's the third horse (out of 4 I've done all week) that has lost out by inches on winning me money.

[Vange Shrimper]

I'm guessing B365 are only paying out top 3? That's the third horse (out of 4 I've done all week) that has lost out by inches on winning me money.

Yeah. I also put £1 on Imperial Commander EW too.

The only reason why I bet on IC is because I had the number 6 in my head all morning. Quite lucky that :)

[Uncle Leo]

I'm guessing B365 are only paying out top 3? That's the third horse (out of 4 I've done all week) that has lost out by inches on winning me money.

Yep, first 3 on the Gold Cup.

It's been that kind of week for me as well. Ho hum.

It's been a fantastic week for the bookies though. A colleague has just been down to our Trading Dept and said he has never seen so many happy faces.

[Uncle Leo]

Wel done there Cyril; 16s now. Looking at the form, I couldn't work out why he was such a big price

Anyway, my e/w Luck 15 today is as follows:

Barizan
Tawaag
Restless Harry
Tricky Trickster

Pfff, one place and three losers. Had Barizan won I would have been in profit (double the odds for one winner in a Lucky 15) but he didn't and I wasn't. £12.50 loss there, plus a £20 loser on Kauto.

[Shrimpersarmy]

I can't believe you've ONLY picked big price winners and places!

No losers at all Dan?

Don't get me wrong, i've had a few a few losers this week (Tricky Trickster and Carlo Brigante so far today!). Just worked it out and this week i have picked 4 winners (Menorah, Big Zeb, Thousand Stars and Baby Run) and had another 8 that have placed!

In total have bet on 19 races so far, so to win on 12 of them is pretty lucky!

same here, but got it at 150/1 in corals last night. :)

[The General]

Don - since when have you been a horse expert!? Thats bloody good going. I managed one win (Albertas Run) and one place (Denman) out of 10! Pretty poor. Alot of the 16-25/1 horses seem to have won, which i normally would have a punt on, but thought the favourite's would edge it today, but this obviously wasn't the case as the likes of Tito Bustillo, Trust Fund and Quel Esprit all let me down!
