With the jumps season just about to come alive I thought it about time to start the annual Cheltenham build up thread. Just watched Thistlecrack make a very decent start over fences winning easily on the bridle at Chepstow. Third Intention won the Old Roan on Saturday past whilst Sire De Grugy...
Cheltenham starts tomorrow, the showpiece of the jumps racing! Really gutted not to be going this year after 2 amazing days last year. Let’s smash the bookies this year! What’s everyone’s tips? Heard good things for Irish horses Stand up and Fight and Sir Eric. Not a tip but after watching Laurina...
Any tips?? Usual Skybet £10 free bet in the Supreme Novices tomorrow and I've gone for Dysart Dynamo over Constitution Hill but who knows.
Hi guys, it’s about time I think to start putting up suggestions for this years festival. I had bet A Plus Tard to retain his gold cup crown before he ran at Haydock, his run was too bad to be true and was subsequently found to have a travel sickness bug🤷*♂️. Anyway I’ve forgiven him that run and...
Hi guys, it’s maybe a wee bit early for an ante post hit on next years festival but I always keep an eye out for anything that catches my eye so here goes. It’s in the very first race of the festival and he’s quite a decent price, the horse is called Factual Fact, trained by Henry de Bromhead,...
Don't know what following this board has for the horses but is there anyone who's dabbled in the ante post market for the festival in March? or has any strong fancies?
I backed aiteenthirtythree a couple of weeks ago @ 12.5 on Betfair - 10er ew.
Anyone got any early tips?
Right I appreciate there is a separate ongoing thread for racing but the Fez deserves it own thread as racing’s biggest week. I’ll get us started and I really fancy Native River for the Gold Cup. Might Bite is rightly favourite however I feel this whole campaign has been geared around the GC for...
Cheltenham Races starts today and gives us a welcome four day distraction from the daily Lockdown drudgery I thought it would be a good idea to start the annual thread with any tips and recommendations ( reasoning and logic welcome ) over the next four days I know absolutely hee haw about...
Murray beats Dimitrov 2 sets to 0, nice one Andy!
shaping up to be another good one with compeitive cars up to 9 or 10th place and the prospect of rain is going to make it even more interesting, well done vettel for getting pole, but iv got a sneaky feeling that hamilton and the brawns will be sniffing about tomorrow :agree:
This is the kind of Tesco Value fight compared to the Froch v Groves Tesco's Finest match up, however, what are folks thoughts on it? Personally hope Chisora wins, think Fury is a complete helmet. Fury just really annoyed me with all his nonsense before he was supposed to be fighting David...
Anyone watching tonight? Looking forward to the Saunders v Eubank fight particularly. Really no idea who's going to win, Saunders has experience, has a strong amateur background and has fought infinitely better fighters as a pro but Eubank looks a bit special. Real 50/50 fight imo. As for...
Might seem a little childish but does anyone else find it funny that one week on from his comments about his corner not owning a towel ( which were out of order) he has withdrawn from his next fight due to injury.
Saw this story earlier; the idea that the Tour de France has a reputation capable of being damaged by a doping controversy is laughable. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/44674282
Am I reading this wrong or are UCI saying he's done something wrong? http://www.uci.ch/pressreleases/uci-statement-christopher-froome/
With the Commonwealth Games coming to Glasgow, it reminded me of a rumour I heard that Sir Hoy is of the Yammish persuasion, is this true? Still a great representative for Scotland either way of course.

Today saw the start of 2nd round action at the Cincinnati Masters, when the big boys begin. Roger Federer played American Robby Ginepri knowing that if he lost he would probably lose his number one ranking by the end of the week. It didn't start off well for him. Ginepri took the first set...
Andy Murray is through to the semi finals at Cincinnati. He beat Julien Benneteau in three sets. Murray lost the first set, despite being 3-2 up with a break of serve. Benneteau broke straight back and eventually won the set 6-4 after Murray threw in a horrendous double fault on set point (his...
Andy Murray is about to get underway in his final tournament before the US Open. He's playing David Nalbandian, who he's tied with at 2-2 in the head-to-head. Murray's won the last two encounters. Let's hope for a better outcome than last week! Coverage on Sky Sports 4.
Terrible result for Murray earlier tonight against Jeremy Chardy, losing in straight sets 6-4 6-4. Murray never looked comfortable at all and especially struggled with his serve. It's likely to be his final match before the US Open, which begins in just over a week and it's not been the best...
Great match on just now between Novak Djokovic and Alexandr Dolgopolov in the first semi final. Djokovic has just fought back from behind in the second set to level the match in the tiebreak after Dolgopolov won the opening set 6-4. Murray and Federer still to come! :thumbsup:
Andy Murray's playing his first competitive tennis for 9 months just now as he plays Francis Tiafoe at the Cincinnati Masters. Currently 5-5 in the first set, it's live on Amazon Prime if anyone's interested.
England's fly-half injury jinx strikes again! Ouch!!!!!:jamboak: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq71TjIEYhk
In the interview, Balding said to Treadwell: "Give us a big grin to the camera." When he smiled, keeping his lips closed, she added: "No, no, let's see your teeth. He hasn't got the best teeth in the world, but you can afford to go and get them done now if you like." She is no oil painting...
Kind of got the boxing bug at the moment, anybody got any classic fights that they really liked? I quite like Miguel cotto, just watched his fight against margarito and clottey on you tube
A foursome of professional golfers compete to break a clay pigeon with a golf ball. I still prefer a shotgun for my sporting clay shooting as it’s a whole lot easier than using a golf club. The golfers are: Thongchai Jaidee – 4 x European Tour Winner; David Horsey – BMW International Open Winner;...
Whats the thoughts on this one then? Just watching Ringside just now. I think Cleverley is going to win due to Bellew spontaneously combusting at the first bell!
Whats the opinion on this? Will he fail as he is a 'Fake' Wrestler or will he do well and make a name for himself in another sport?
Come on Andy Murray ! (Australian Open semi final about to start). Nice to see Andy wearing green for all us hibs boys (as he mentioned in a recent interview!) :thumbsup:
i really hope he can win this today, im really looking forward to the GP later :thumbsup:
I'll be getting up early doors to cheer on the moody son of a....
Just thought I'd put that out there. :thumbsup:
Anyone else get tickets. I got tickets for the last night of athletics (relays, 1500m, triple jump).
I guess since there's no thread on this, I'm not the only one wondering if this is well past its sell by date?
Terrific performances by Duncan Scott in the swimming this evening. Doesn't seem to get the wider credit he deserves as one of Scotland's finest sportsmen.
Congratulations (I suppose!!) :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
The organisers claim the route will give athletes the best views of Glasgow..... and the worst....:wink: http://www.glasgow2014.com/image/glasgow-2014-marathon-map-image
