Cheltenham Festival

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.

**drinkfeckarse** · 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.

**drinkfeckarse** · 14/03/2006, 10:18 AM

Cheers for that, saves me writing out the slip!

**Dodge** · 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...

**Soko** · 14/03/2006, 10:39 AM

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

**Dodge** · 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

**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.

**joeSoap** · 14/03/2006, 1:06 PM

1.Noland
2.Straw Bear
3.Buena Vista

**Kowalski** · 14/03/2006, 1:16 PM

Gooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnn Ruby!

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!

**drinkfeckarse** · 14/03/2006, 1:28 PM

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

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

**blobbyblob** · 14/03/2006, 1:31 PM

Accordian Etoile E/w if you want some money in the next

**joeSoap** · 14/03/2006, 1:33 PM

Foreman all the way for me...

**joeSoap** · 14/03/2006, 1:41 PM

Result

1.Voy Pur Estedes
2.Monets Garden
3.Foreman

**Soko** · 14/03/2006, 1:49 PM

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.......
