I'm opposing Sam Spinner at odds on today. He barely made it over hurdles last season so I'm happy to take him on now he's sent off chasing.
I'm seeing Wrexham 6/4 v Bromley 8/5 I don't think Bromley are fancied to be up the top towards the end of the season and Wrexham made the playoffs, last season. Maybe they're just underachieving at the moment. Maybe Bromley have players out. Fook knows.
The badger looks like an early rehearsal for the National looking at the horses that are entered. Always hard to work these races out as we don't know where the horse is with its planning. I like Rock The Kasbah, though. He looks well handicapped for this and Hobbs usually picks these races well. I'll probably go EW if I can get 10's or above.
2 out 3 come in. Waiting on one more game on the 3rd bet to boost the winnings another 50 quid or so.
I've had a good day on the horses, so I'm keeping £40 of my winnings back to bet on the in-play footy again tonight.
I once laid out £30, split into doubles trebles, four folds and accumulator at a meeting at Cheltenham. I picked 5 horses at the meeting. With best odds guaranteed, a couple evens faves, but the others between 2/1&5/1 I was coming towards the end of the day at a new job I hated. All 5 won, and I won 3k. I seriously considered walking out the office and going on holiday, then thought otherwise haha.
Good day again on the horses. 2 x 1st's and a 2nd. I'm thinking about a win and BTTS Treble tonight in the internationals. 46/1. Switzerland Denmark Italy
Who are people backing for the Gold Cup at Cheltenham today? SpiritOfTheGames comes from a top stable and has always won first time out after a long break. Slate House is a tank of a horse and won very impressively last time out. If he continues to improve he could turn out to be a special horse and demolish these. Siruh Du Lac outstanding performer who loves this course winning impressively the last twice. Happy Diva is one of the most honest and consistent horses about. Always puts in a good run and very rarely finishes outside the places. Each Way. The horse I'm backing is BELAMI DES PICTONS. a big leap of faith required as he's never run for 2 years. He came back early in the year but was pulled up with a nose bleed. Earlier form and handicap mark puts this horse in with a great chance and the owners clearly still thinks the horse retains its ability being entered into a race like this.
