You won't have a problem getting a ticket for the Friday but its from the touts outside the Track I'm Afraid.Because there is usually so many spares (unwanted Corporate ones) the mark up is not as much as you'd be stung for at a Football game.

If My way de solzen runs in the World Hurdle he's a good e.w bet.
In the Gold Cup Iris's Gift e.w. & Mister Hight in the Triumph are my fancies atm.

dont know what day he is running but Commercial Flyer is being talked about as a good each way bet.
As for the gold cup,its anyone guess.

The weather is a bit up in the air so I'll leave it off a little longer. I have a couple of horses I'll post here in a few days, nothing spectacular just some with a good shout of winning.

Im backing Accordion Etoile in the Arkle if its anything better than soft, its won twice around there already once each over fences & hurdles. It ran well over fences in Punchestown a couple of weeks ago and was just beaten by Central House and Jim, neither of which is in the Arkle so its main threat will be Racing Demon. Also Jim might be worth an E/W shout in the Champions Chase if it goes, its around 40/1 at the moment.

Likewise. My mate was in the Silver Springs hotel the other night when Ruby Walsh, Barry Geraghty, Henrietta Knight etc were there to give their tips and opinions on Cheltenham.

He gave me all that they'd mentioned and I wrote them down at home so I'll let you know probably on Monday.

The amount of scruffy pub-regulars i know in the bank withdrawing upwards of €1000 today was very sad and worrying.

Sweet wake for me is the nap of the festival (Supreme Novices hurdle)

Iris's Gift is my tip for the Gold Cup. If she can stay on her feet she's got a great chance for me at about 20/1. not sure of those odds but there or there abouts.
The Stars
09/03/2006, 5:18 PM
so it would be worth an each way bet real ale?

He's 20 (19/1) on betfair.

Here's one for each day:

Tuesday: SI Cross Country Steeplechase - Buailtes and Fadas (6/1)
Wednesday: Coral Cup Hurdle - No Where to Hyde (9/1)
Thursday: Ryanair Steeplechase - Hi Cloy (8/1)
Friday: Triumph Hurdle - Afsoun (6/1)

Odds of 6995 to 1 for a yankee!

Good luck!:)

each way at that odds yes. I also like the chances of Fota Island in the Queen Mother about 5or6/1 I should think.

First time in 9 years I won't be on the Cotswolds for the racing. Don't know what I'll do with myself.

For the record I'd also like the Yankee Superhoops highlights and Fota Island for me is also a great hope.

Faasel in the Champion Hurdle is a good e/w bet.

my top tips are:
15:15 Cheltenham, 14 Mar 2006-Brave Inca
15:15 Cheltenham, 15 Mar 2006-Ashley Brook
15:15 Cheltenham, 16 Mar 2006-Korelo each way
15:15 Cheltenham, 17 Mar 2006-Hedgehunter either to win or each way
Soko
10/03/2006, 12:02 PM
Foreman in the Arkle Chase, 7/1 now but will maybe go off at 5s. Could even be favourite if people get on him.

Not my ideas, but lots in there makes sense to me....just did a 1 euro e/w accumulator on Paddy Power and it would pay 200,000 if it came in. I'd take that!!

Noland----- 2 00 Cheltenham
Won its last three, Ruby (the man) in the saddle.
Favourite has no appeal at such short odds .
Will give us a good run for our money .
Been steadily backed, Get on if you can at Paddy Power best priced 7/1.

Racing Demon----- 2 35 Cheltenham
Has been hyped as the new Best Mate for sometime now.
and at 5/1 each way must be a value bet .

Macs Joy -----3 15 Cheltenham
Having watched its last run against Brave Inca and the manner it
came to challenge absolutely cruising before blowing up.
I feel they will have got it spot on for this and is sure to give us an exciting race.

Korelo----- 4 00 Cheltenham
I just feel everything is right for this horse,
its last run will have put it spot on.
Has won very well here before carrying lots more weight,
just smells like a Pipe Cheltenham winner to me.

Comanche War Paint----- 4 40 Cheltenham
Another horse I have been following,is a course winner, will love the ground.
Jumped the last 6th here in April last year and still won.
Going to be a big shout here if its anywhere handy at the last.

Royals Darling----- 5 20 Cheltenham.
Not a very spectacular race but I have gone for value.
The bookies have Ouste as just favourite, the tip beat him by 4 lengths last time they met .
Royals was 11/8 that day and Ouste 12/1.
McCoy is a benefit to Ouste but at the end of the day its a pound and 4 lengths worse off.

atm I think I'll only be having one bet today unless it wins. Missed That in the 2.35. If it finished 2nd to Racing Demon, Paddy Power will refund your money. I think it has a very good chance.

14/03/2006, 9:05 AM
My bets of the day are Sweet Wake @ 5/2 in the opener although Noland will go close I suspect.

Commmanche War Paint @ 10/1 is very tempting at 4.40 and Monet's Garden @ 7/1 at 2.35 is also worth a flutter but will need a cut in the ground.

For a fun bet put a quid e/w on Little Big Horse @ 66/1 at 4.00. Is a stayer so has a chance provided the pace isn't too quick.
Real ale Madrid
14/03/2006, 10:00 AM
Little big Horse is a non-runner. Hope you get your money back.

14/03/2006, 10:38 AM
Just doing my initial thoughts. Might change if a I see a gamble developing.

2.00 Supreme Novices Hurdle; Sweet wake. Backed it a few weeks ago on betfair, still think it'll win handily

2.35 Arkle Trophy; Foreman. Racing Demon is the lay of the day for me

3.15 Champion Hurdle. Think Brave Inca will win but don't like the price. Backing Asian Maze e/w

4.00 William Hill Trophy Moulin Riche. Best bet of the day IMO.

Good luck...

Forget Racing Demon, he jumps right and around Cheltenham thats a killer.

14/03/2006, 10:48 AM
Thats why I'm laying him...
joeSoap
14/03/2006, 10:50 AM
Can't see Brave Inca being beaten. He knows the track, has won on it before, has beaten all the serious opposition several times and is in the best ever form of his career...oh, and AP McCoy is on his back. Lump on....7/4 :D ;)
Magicme
14/03/2006, 10:51 AM
I am going for Rasharrow in the 2pm

Wild Passion (naturally enough!) in the 2.35

Asian Maxe in the 3.15 but mite put a few quid ew on Mac's Joy...cant be from Monaghan and not bet on our wee Joy!
NeilMcD
14/03/2006, 12:03 PM
Yeah lay of the day is Racing Demon. Charlie Swan reckons E/W bet of the ay is Jazz Messenger in the 2 o clock, going at anything between 16/1 to 28/1. I think Sweet Wake will take the 1st race.

My bet of the day is Moulin Ricke in the 4 o clock and I have Accordion Etoile in the 2.35.

Hope my Place Pot comes in too.

Gooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnn Ruby!:D

After hearing that someone put €40 on Noland @ 1000/1 betting in running on Betfair or one of those sites i.e. someone lost €40,000 trying to win €40. Sickner!

Typical sh!te start for me, it was either black or white and as usual I went for the wrong one :mad:

Of course I'm also on Missed That and Dun Doire for Ruby so no doubt that's his only winner of the day now :rolleyes: :D

Not a good ride from AP McCoy, he left himself with too much to do and finished strongly. Backed Monets Garden too which is another of what should be a catelogue of second places no doubt.





Now for Brave Inca.......
