Only thing I've had so far was Punjabi e/w and that was thanks to my buddy. Haven't bet big today though so won't be bad either way even if my final 2 of Ofarel D'airy and River Liane don't come in.

Glad I bailed out after the first race.

Wish I did the same!

[bellavistaman]

first time ever i bailed out on a high, i think im maturing!!

My tip for tomorrow/Friday seeing as today's races are cancelled.

Ballymore Property Novice Hurdle: Trafford Lad. A good friend of mine is one of the owners. Great jumper and can handle both soft and hard ground. I'm backing "Traff" e/w.

[drinkfeckarse]

Off today. You'd have been as well sticking a pin in the paper yesterday and going with the horse it stuck in the way things were going yesterday.

I'm up €8 and gutted that Day 2 is cancelled but that only means that there is extra racing on tomorrow and Friday so i'm happy.

Nobosy have any luck yesterday... I had 3 winners, An Accordion, Gran Charda(Nina Carberrry's one) and Tidal Bay. Was going to back Katchit too until i saw him jump from 8's to 11's in one go, went with Harchibald then!!

I find at cheltnam you should always trust your instinct and don't mind betting on a horse who is drifting. Why i betted on lounaos instead of katchit last year i still dont know and i would have betted on an accordion yesterday but he started to drift,never again!

[rambler14]

I actually did An Accordian to beat Abragante in the free forecast in the Irish Examiner and Abragante was with him right up to the line but fell away. I would have made a mint if that one came in.

I did I won the first race with and each way bet and then bailed out and did not bet for the rest of the day.

Yeah you are right, I think Captain Cee Bee was drifting too because of the ground but he was still the best horse in the race.

[rambler14]

I had a bad day today. Not a sniff of a winner.

[Rovers fan]

What a disastrous cheltnam for me,still no winners and loads of my friends who know nothing about racing(im not an expert but I know a wee bit) have had winners. Ah well there's always tomorrow!!

[rambler14]

The best thing to do for the gold cup tomorrow would be to back some hose each way because Kauto Star is gonna be locked down at evens and Denman won't win and will be too low for an each way. I'd say Exotic Dancer and Racing Demon would be the best shouts for each way.
I really hope Kauto Stars odds move up.

2 small double's today and that's it. Haven't betted as much on Cheltenham this year as I have in others but I haven't had a sniff of any winners and typically when I've shortlisted some horse I've discarded the eventual winner and went for the loser. None more so than yesterday when I went for Zaarito instead of Cousin Vinny.

Anyway...

Fiveforthree 7/1 1.05 & Five Dream 8/1 2.15 double.

Fiveforthree 7/1 1.05 & Franchoek 6/4 2.15 double.

That's all I'm doing!
