What we all on and how much are we planning on losing? 

I love Cheltenham, it makes me all gooey inside.  If I can get through day 1 relatively unscathed and lok in a profit I am hopeful.  If we do it in all on day 1 its going to be a long week. 

My selections fwiw. 

Race 1 - Gilgamboa - £25 e/w at 11/1 and Irving £50 win with Paddy (offer whore) will no doubt have a few others with Hills tomorrow.   
Race 2 - Trifolium and Dodging Bullets - I have backed both to win @ 9/2 and 11/2 (more than I really should on both)
Race 3 - Mafilleule e/w @ 25/1, Vintage Star e/w @ 16/1 and Fruityorooney @ 28/1 (£5e/w all 3)
Race 4 - Will be laying The Fly.  I wanted to be with The New One but the price is contracting,  also contemplating backing Jezki and if I can get on with 3six5 I will have a dash @ 10/1
Race 5 - Laying Quevega - Can't see her doing 6 as much as I'd love to.  Won't be laying for much. 
Race 6 - Midnight Prayer @ 9/1
Race 7 - Present View & Close House (not bet these yet will see what the lay of the land is tomorrow) 

I'll be having a combination of Lucky 15's, 31's and 63's with the above (and will prob fire in Highland Retreat & Glens Melody to fill them up. 

Good luck with whatever you are backing and here is hoping we don't go busto. 

Let me know if there's any 4/1 The Fly going please ;)

Top man, thanks :)

Rare of me to not check my post, either before or immediately after posting.

Good luck to Ralph, who has adopted the same blind faith in the aging Fly as he has in an aging Arsene Wenger ;)

Vatour in Supreme with paddy money back 2-4

Our Connor in champion Hurdle

Dodging Bullets in arkle

With Trigg in mares, Doyley and Caiin w/o Quevega

May add time for Rupert

Our Conor out to 11/2
Is this a bad thing

Barney Curley said he thought it would drift to 6/1 on the day, and then he would back it ew

doing a lucky 63 on my outsiders at chelt today, is it worth just letting them go at SP or take price? do outsiders generally drift on these festivals?

Just place the bet with a bookies that gives you BOG mate, and then you've got the best of both worlds.

Also fancy Persian Snow in the last.


Good luck everyone. Let's make some money :)

I would love to buy Big Adz'z oioioi's at 30 after the Arkle.

I'd have bought clips of his mug floating about on C4 too :D

The New One wins unhampered?

Hope Our Conor is ok

Unless Our Conor would have it looked like it to my extremely untrained eye. Did they give any updates? I rewound (?) to watch the fall again, it looked nasty.

still being treated.


New One got beat 2l, was hampered 5 or 6 lengths and caught up over half a second up the hill

Damn

Our Conor lost, serious back injury.

Shame to lose any horse, but one so young and with so much promise :(

Brendan Powell could almost have been driving a car, looking at the way he took the racing line in the last race.

Pretty pleaseing day.  Apart from the opening 2 races I done pretty well.  Trying to tally up what exactly I have and where, I really need a spreadsheet and the discipline to update it. 

I got Jezki at the price I wanted, I had BOG on MA FILLEULE, I layed the The Fly, also laid Quevega :-(  but having read this thread agains this morning followed Glens Melody and Highland retreat e/w and w/o Quevega. 

Saddened about Our Connor obviously devastating for connections. 

Present View got me out of it including my AP bets, but Mullins mugged me out of a good winning day with his ride on Suntiep.

Just logged into Stakes and Ladders there and I have done well in a few of their pools as well.  Actually turned into a very good day.
