Cheltenham Festival 2015

[Caan Berry]

HaHa ... what a cracking day, just gutted I didn't enjoy watching the racing much as was too busy faffing about with changing over to Betdaq etc.

If Mullins carries on like that all week it will make for some interesting markets.

I've recorded it so I can watch it later. I can't enjoy the race if I'm trading it. Betfair's Racing UK stream is always freezing and lagging, I presume subscribing to Racing UK directly would provide me with a better service?

The winners won in great style today. It's a shame Annie Power fell, the bookies would have had a proper hammering. Tomorrow sees Sprinter Sacre back in action although currently on the drift, was 4.1/4.2 now out to 4.7/4.8, no surprise to see Champagne Fever coming in from 7s to 6s. Will Mullins and Walsh win the day again?

Yesterdays selections ran their races but were just not good enough.
Therefore a loss of the 12pts.
Those nice people at Sky Bet have returned 2pts as a free bet today so 10pts down on the day.

Using the same bet format as yesterday but using smaller stakes and taking advantage of the 1st race offer at Sky Bet here are todays picks;


1.30..Parlour Games and Vyta Du Roc...1/2 pt win each

3.20..Dodging Bullets..1pt win

1pt ew double on the 3 selections = 4pts ..total 6pts staked

Vyta Du Roc was unlucky with a last fence blunder which cost us a place.

Dodging Bullets won very well.

Best price paid out 14pts -6pts staked..=+8pts

total at half way...-2pts

Parlour Games stake will be returned tomorrow 1st race offer..

[Thomson]

Same bet format for tomorrow, longer odds on these;

2.05..Big Easy and Sybarite..1/2 pt win each

3.20..Reve De Sivola..1pt win

1pt ew double..=4pts....Total 6pts

Dodging Bullets won very well.

Yeah he ran a great race. A poor show from Sprinter Sacre suggests his winning days are behind him.

[custard]

Still having a tantrum after having missed Rebecca Curtis's winner on first day.

14.05 : Big Easy

14.40 : Balder Succes

15.20 : Zarkander

1 point E.W Patent

does anyone know what the f happened with Monetaire ? Had +60 in that race, 30 seconds later -101... That swing was absolutely insane, it was like something happened on the track, anyone has any info?

2.05..Big Easy and Sybarite..1/2 pt win each

3.20..Reve De Sivola..1pt win

1pt ew double..=4pts....Total 6pts

Not a good day for the selections ...now -8pts for the festival.

Gold cup day;

1.30...Peace + co....1pt win

2.40..Value at risk and Thomas Brown...1/2 pt win each
1pt ew double...total 6pts staked.

good luck all.

All my selections made jumping errors. Zarkander performed brilliantly after almost falling and if he runs at Aintree, he should be followed. In a later race the Welsh horse Buywise put in an encouraging performance and I will be following him from now on.

Queen Mother Champion Chase : Balder Succes E.W

Gold Cup : Many Clouds

He let me down at Cheltenham but made up for it today. Backed at 60 three days ago, and had him in a double with Duke of Lucca today. If only I had done the Dai Walters horse Whispering as well ! ( Mr Walters lives about five miles up the road from me.)
