Cheltenham 2009

Any predictions for the races ahead? Im looking forward to the Gold cup, the races between Kauto Star and Denman should be good, I think Denman will win that one at at 6/1 now the odds are hard to turn down.

Tomorrow see the start of it, alot of big favourites in Cousin Vinny in the supreme Novices, and Binocular in the feature race at half 3.

Here's where my money will be wasted tomorrow:

13.30 - Go Native - e/w
14.05 - Forpaddydeplasterer - e/w
14.40 - Millenium Royal - to win
15.20 - Sublimity - e/w
16.00 - L'Ami - to win (He's the gaffer gets my long shot e/w punt for the day)
16.40 - Chomba womba - e/w

So thats the horses to avoid as, going to form, I think some of my bets in last years festival are still running.

Hi, over to the betting forum????:)

Starts tomorrow, and im bloody working the whole day for it - damn it

Here are my "Tips"!!!!!!!!!

1.30 Go Native 10/1

2.02 Made a Taipen 25/1

2.40 Wichita Lineman 5/1

3.20 Binocular 13/8

4.00 Garde Champetre 7/2

4.40 Chomba Womba 13/2

with the bad weather, and lack of form for many - i think Cheltenham could be up in the air for everyone
Anyway hopefully it wont be as bad as last year:)

I'm going for

Cousin Vinny in 1.30

Imsingintheblues in the 2.05

Not sure about the rest yet.

His price indicates he's ok,probably trainer making excuses in case his nipper messes up :).

Odds on Denman for the Gold Cup are well out and were 5/1 a few weeks ago and now at 6/1 which is pretty impressive if he is the horse they are all talking about for a long time now to take the Gold Cup.

Good start lads for the Irish. Fair play on Go Native call

I was told Go Native but didnt back him... Went with Red Moloney :(

I went for a €2 accy so you could prob guarantee my first 6 will come in e/w then the last is going to fall coming out of the traps :D

Thats Forpaddydeplasterer through also in first, should I be getting excited? Nope.
Now Millenium Royal.................
