Cheltenham 2022!

[StuartHopkin]

Would like a few favourites and Ahoy Senor today please!

[Marky147]

I'll miss the first few races as I'm off for my annual MOT at Poole with the Neuro.

13:30 - Whatdeawant
14:10 - Threeunderfive
14:50 - Camprond
15:30 - Envoi Allen
16:10 - Shady Operator
16:50 - Frero Banbou

Gamboooooool!

Think the Champion is a good e/w race because of the first two.  Should be fine with many but am on Put The Kettle On and Envoi Allen.   Would probably avoid Nube Negra on the ground, but thinking it runs regardless.

[Doobs]

Absolute shambles watering last night with the rain forecast.  I know it is a bit more rain than expected, but this was always a possibility.  If you must water, surely plan for today, anf just see how much rain you get first.    Need better risk modelling.

or maybe he doesn't

The great analogy "like having crazy-golf at The Open" was famously levelled at this race.

that was a proper buckle with tiger to use a dog racing saying.  Shame he isn't in the national after that slog fest for one last time.   Stays longer than the mother in law even on bad ground

Just don't get why they couldn't run him in the National.  Delta Work had a bit of class, the ground was awful for him, yet they both pulled well clear?  How out can that National weight be?   Was thinking the Delta Work vs Tiger Roll odds were wildly out this morning, but Tiger Roll could easily have finished well clear in this on better ground.

Anyway, good luck in his retirement, probably done more than enough over the years.

When the weights for the national first came out Elliot said there was every chance of Tiger running as "he has a nice weight this time".

That was before O'Leary stuck his oar in.

Yeah, I heard that.  They really don't need to have given him the weight to guarantee he won.  Think he'd have bound to have been single figures and have a better chance than 80% of the field.
