Cheltenham 2011

« on: February 15, 2011, 11:18:18 AM »

Supreme Novices: Spirit Son EW @ 16s

Arkle: Captain Chris WIN @ 25s. This was my first antepost bet and its looking like a write off at this stage as will and should be aimed at The Jewson now, grrrrrr.

Arkle: Medermit WIN @ 12s

Jewson: Mr Gardner EW @ 14s

Only 4 weeks to go Wiiiiiiii ..Got tickets for the Tuesday

I been sweet on Medermit for a while but this new championship race for novices has meant targets have been unclear which is fustrating. Missed the boat completely now - Think it will go off fav tbh. Nice bet Horner

FWIW I'm on the following:

RSA: Wymott EW @ 16/1
Ryan Air: Kalahari King EW @ 16/1
Albert Bartlet: Champion Court EW @ 12/1
World Hurdle: Grand Crus Win @ 11/4 (nrnb)
QM: Sizing Europe EW @ 18/1

Happy with them all, bar Champion Court who was disapointing last time, and may not run. Gran Crus not my normal type of AP bet but think its going to get smashed on the day so took nrnb price now.

Got my eye on plenty of others also

I've only had one bet so far.

Somersby each way in the Champion Chase at 10/1 and 8/1.

I think this is looking the hardest betting Festival I've encountered for many years.

Really want to oppose Binocular at the price, but cannot find anything.

Gold Cup looks really wide open, Kempes was impressive on Sunday and is tempting at the price, but a flat horse hasn't won this race since Alverton!

Big Bucks is seems fair at evens.

Time For Rupert might be the banker, but one of my friends is foaming at the mouth for Jessies Dream, he's backed it to win the world and it's form certainly can't be faulted. TFR jumps better than any novice chaser I've ever seen and his hurdles form is rock solid.

Just booked tickets for the Wednesday, cannot wait!

Always fancied Benidorm for the festival, can you still get a bet on at the winning post? Not going mad this year did my bollocks in last. Champion Hurdle race of the festival, binocular, hurricane fly, peddlers cross and my fancy Menorah, what a line up. Can't see big bucks getting beat, nichols stable will be firing come March.

Without wanting to be a Cheltenham damp blanket, can someone explain why everyone suddenly wants to up their stakes and bet big when...

The horses are suddenly going twice as quick early as they've gone all season, in bigger fields than they've raced on all season and on quicker ground than they've raced on all season?

Never goddit.

The best each way week of the year.

Offered enhanced ew terms on races which if you tried to get £50 ew on normally you would get laughed at. (Last years Champion Chase and World Hurdle were amazing)

For Cheltenham week you can unlimited on.

Also, the bookies actually bet to decent percentages in every race.

Cheltenham Naps Competition on here?

Two selections a day? Nap of the day you get an enhanced price for the purposes of the competition?

If I get enough interested, and a few of you undertake to put the odd bet on with Skybet, I'll see if I can nab a prize off them

Interest?
