Cheltenham festival 2010

**De Town** · 17/03/2010, 11:21 PM

1.30 China Rock 9/1
2.05 Buena Vista 20/1
2.40 Deep Purple 25/1
3.20 War of Attrition 33/1
4.00 The Sawyer 18/1
4.40 Imoncloudnine 16/1

All done e/w with Bet365, where they're paying out enhanced places in a lot of races.

The Sawyer is an old favourite of mine and I expect him to give a very good account of himself tomorrow, good claimer on board too. Buena Vista and Deep Purple are 2 others I fancy strongly. War of Attrition should give a good run as usual. The other 2 are shots to nothing really.

Good Luck to all with their bets!

Well yesterday was a wash out

Today, money is firmly in pocket except for a novelty bet on my old friend War Of Attrition

1.30 - China Rock
2.05 - Alfie Sherrin
2.40 - Planet of Sound
3.20 - War Of Attrition
4.00 - In Compliance
4.40 - Galant Nuit
5.15 - Watergate

It really should be a good day for Ruby Walsh with Rivaliste, Alfie Sherrin, Poquelin and Big Bucks all starting as favourites.

Big Bucks will not be beaten in the World Hurdle. Not a snowballs chance in hell. The value in the race is Powerstation. He has placed in this race twice before at big odds, and is currently 40/1. Well worth an each way bet. Alternatively, you can back him at 20/1 without Big Bucks in Ladbrokes. Its the bet of the week lads...pile in!!

It would have been interesting if he had been given a bit more of a defensive ride as he kicked on plenty early.

Great shout, came in third at 33/1.

**joeSoap** · 18/03/2010, 2:44 PM

Had him at 40/1 this morning, and ante-post at 80's 66's and 50's. Nice touch. I know a few of the lads in the syndicate. He's a super little horse and never runs a bad one in Cheltenham.

Excellent stuff - nice to hear of someone with a good winner. congrats.

Prices today aside from Big Bucks - 12s , 16s , 14s and 18 to 1. Very difficult.

I gave up after Smokin Aces at 2.05. Watching for the rest of the week. If I was betting id throw a bit e/w on Hello Bud in the last.

**Den Perry** · 18/03/2010, 3:40 PM

Great stuff, well done. Wish I'd listened to you!!

I'll goy Boychuck ew in the 4.40

**De Town** · 19/03/2010, 9:55 AM

1.30 Pittoni 16/1
2.05 Puyol 14/1
2.40 Silver Kate 18/1
3.20 Denman 9/2
4.00 Dun Doire 12/1
4.40 On Borrowed Wings 20/1
5.15 Pigeon Island 33/1

All done e/w with Bet365 to small stakes. Most races they're paying out enhanced places, which is good.

Denman is a bigger e/w bet than the others, think he'll definitely be placed and I fancy him to give Kauto a very very good run for his money tbh.

Got told about 2 weeks ago to look out for Dun Doire on the Friday in Cheltenham, won it's last 2 races and could run into a place tomorrow imo.

Good luck to all today.
