Cheltenham 2013

[horseplayer]

there are plenty who use it at times kara of that i have little doubt

there was a gamble today on the all weather with a fully exposed horse who has ran the same slow one paced race its last 8 starts but today after being smashed in the betting made all and found a second run

most low grader horses are bleeders or cant breathe properly or bits of both

Arrgh apologies for been thick Adz, i was'nt after a libel case. Would all weather testing be different to National hunt or flat? Or is it all under same blanket?

i think there is a bet we should all be on. Une artiste is 4/1 w/o quevaga with paddy power e/w first 3 1/5 the odds.

this improving 5 year old is 2/2 around cheltenham and is a very gutsy, battle hardened type. There are a lot of horses that have little chance that will line up in the race, betfair go quevaga 8/13
unacompanied une artiste , kentford grey, 12s and its 20s bar which is swing bowler which isnt a cert to run in the race. Une artiste gave kentford 8lbs and a solid beating last time, and unacompanied hasnt run the distance before.
I cant have une artiste out of the first 3, let alone 4 that we will get close to 85% of the time. Im on e/w at 16s and still think it will be the stiffest test quevega has had to face in this race.
i see this as very much a bet to nothing as the race looks to cut up quite a lot and the improving henderson horse looks a steal 4/1 w/o quevega for me.

Looks a good horse, 7/1 with bet 365 1/4 first 3. Tempted

Much prefer the 4/1 w/o at paddys

[BigAdz]

Have to agree with Action. A 4-1 winner looks better than a 7-1 place.

I fancied her as the viable alternative to Quevega all year and seemed to have missed the price by dithering, and this may well be the escape route.

Tidal Bay out of World Hurdle & National due to injury

Looks like sizing Europe will go for the QM  with everything else pulling out

Why what's pulled out?

Well, cue card going to Ryanair now

[action man]

Finians might not run at the festival judged on last 2 runs. Place money looks too good to resist for SE

A win in the Ryanair >>>>>>>>>place money in the CC

SE only goes for the CC if Sprinter Sacre is a NR imo.

cant believe some firms have clipped zarkander after today. Very pedestrian performance in my eyes with kyber kim been off ages and balder sucess way too close up for my liking. Can't have the animal. Gonna take it on bigtime in match bets with ROR or grandoeut. Even without a prep run id still rather be with grandouet.

[BigAdz]

Not sure Zarkander is ever a horse to look overly impressive, but did it well enough.

However, MTOY destroyed a field at least as good as that on the bit last week.

Cant believe they are even dithering about that decision.
