Cheltenham Festival Day 3

[T_Mar]

Somehow managed to break even yesterday. Thank God for these bookies being 1/4 odds a place all races. This is really the best weeks gambling of the year.

Onto today..

The only big ante post bet on a handicap I've had runs today:

Hey Big Spender ew @ 14/1. I really fancy this and unless it goes to silly to one, I'm keeping the lot.

Second race is probably a pass, although with 5 places on offer I'm open to suggestions.

I haven't played in race 3, but I'm funking against Poquelin, who I wanted to bet but I kept missing the boat, certainly not backing him at around 3/1.

Karabak each way in the fourth selects himself.

I haven't played in the fifth yet, but on Shillingstone in the last..

GL all.

PS Katie Walsh in the first yeaterday was absolutely horrible to watch. Like going back int time 30 years when jockeys used to abuse horses.

Worried about the quicker ground for your one in the first Camel??

[Graham C]

Also done some acca or another on Laddies

13:30 - The Hollinwell
2.05 - Alfie Sherrin
2.40- Poquelin
3.20- Big Bucks
4.00 - Song Of Songs

e/w Trebles  and also an e/w single acca on them all.

In a word, yes.

However, I really think this horse is going to the top he won't see a handicap mark like this again for many years imo.

[T_Mar]

Yeah I was close to backing him yesterday but ground a doubt for me... they have watered obv so you may be ok GL

Tanks for That for me @ 25/1

Francome had a proper go yesterday at one of the jockeys who whipped the horse on its ribs ...

Walsh AND Carberry both picked up bans for "excessive use" after that race.

4 days she got... I think she deserved a month. I counted 25 proper strokes, plus countless slaps down the neck.

It was the worst I've seen for years and soured what should have been a great achievement for her.

I agree with you, the super slow mo replays of the run ins really do the jockeys no favours.

[StuartHopkin]

Laddies paying evens if Big Bucks wins by over 5 lengths

blech.

The style of his racing makes that pretty/very unlikely.

Much better the bookies who are offering 5 places in the handicaps today (ie not Ladbrokes!)

Not on it Keith, just advertising on their behalf
