Off Topic Cheltenham Festival March 2021

I'll post my tips tomorrow.
I had 6 losers today but still ended up £40 to the good.
I very rarely go for the favourites so always will have more losers than winners but when one comes in I'm usually up on the day.

A good night for City tonight.
I never expected Pompey to beat Posh most of the other results went in our favour.

 

Cheers Cave

This previous festival winner won the Arkle in 2019 by a distance of 13 lengths. That was his last win. The Mullins yard aimed him at the Ryanair Chase in 2020 and he was a disappointing 5th.

Connections decided to send the horse to Paul Nicholls after that and he is again in solid hands. We really liked his reappearance run this season for his new yard finishing second to PuttheKettleon a horse who we also fancy to run a big race in todays Queen Mother Champion Chase.

Knowing the yard as we do, we fee this will have been the target for him all along.

He carries tip weight yes but that tells you officially that he is the best rated horse in the race and an astute 3lb claimer on board in Lorcan Williams takes another valuable 3lb off.

We are expecting a huge run

 

Won a bob or two today... Had £8 place only at 14/1 Tea Clipper... saving it up for Friday...!!!

 

Sad thing is, your sense of humour fell at the first hurdle for some

 

Got the Queen Mother winner Put The Kettle On @ 12/1. The only way to win at this game is to take your money and run. That's what I've done - well, at least until tomorrow.

 

Two at bigger prices tomorrow... just my thoughts...

HAPPY DIVA 25/1 GREAT COURSE FORM... 3.40

PERFECT MYTH 50/1 thereabouts ... 4.15

 

One for tomorrow: another day, another decent profit for me


No more for today but one for tomorrow which should be backed now as today’s results could affect tomorrow’s prices

Stayer Hurdle Tomorrow

Thursday 18th March 3:05pm

Beacon Edge

20/1 - 1.5pts E/W.
Paddies paying 5 places 1/5odds
Victor & Betfair 4 places

You will notice that we have not had a bet in todays Brown Advisory Plate. This is due to the price and confidence behind Monkfish.

We feel that the market has this one right and therefore would be willing to look in behind an impressive winner from yesterday in Honeysuckle and see what form lines we like.

Beacon Edge was beaten only by just half length by Honeysuckle in a Grade 1 in November & a head behind last years 2nd in this race Ronald Pump who doesn’t turn up this year. Thats solid form.

He has won on both attempts at 2m 5f to date and beat Fury Road last time out who lines up again but at half the price of our selection. The extra distance should suit the selection and the ground should not be an issue with it anticipated dry out slightly going into day 3.

 

Apologies to you all, I said I'd post my tips for today and never had th we chance.
I know some wont believe me and I can provide proof but I won £250 on two £5 each way bets.
Heaven help us at 34.58 on Betfair and followed it up in the 3.05 with
Put the kettle on at 8.17 on Betfair.
I was driving when they mentioned heaven help us had won on the radio.
Then to follow it up in the next race with a winner as well ....oh happy days.
£285 up in 2 days with only 3 winners out of 11 if only it was that simple everyday.

 

I think I'd take it!!! Their maximum pay out was £250k but they've agreed to pay out in full.Alternatively they've offered this cash out.

 

I'm minus just shy of what you are up.

 

How did you get a copy of my betslip lol.
Its a no-brainer, take the cash out.
It's like our points in the bag over games in hand.

 

Nice one Ric.
I will post mine tomorrow morning.
At first glance I'm not seeing any 33/1 winners tomorrow

 

It looks good but is it fake.
Bob olingr was 6/4 favourite but they have it at 25/1.

 

Its an ante post bet going back to last June,,... or is that a whoosh!!

 

It's not fake it's an antepost bet and is in many national newspapers.He's got Shishkin at 4/1 and Bob Olinger at 25's because he took a gamble on them even being entered in the race.

 

Gotcha, cheers

 

Makes sense then, thanks.
The remaining horse us priced at 6/4 but I would still cash out.
