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.
Probably Constitution Hill for me but wouldn’t rule out Dysart Dynamo either. Mighty Potter at a decent price is interesting . Very close to call…
Tasty double
Dysart Dynamo and Honeysuckle
ITV Racing Morning Show on ITV 4 9am
Big bet on Honeysuckle in the Champion Hurdle, if it comes in it will set me up for the week. All over Edwardstone in the Arkle as well. Was tempted to double them up but that's a sure fire way to end up disappointed.
Beyond that just a few fun small stake multiples for a bit of interest:
1.30 - Jonbon
2.10 - Edwardstone
3.30 - Honeysuckle
Then a Mullins Acca:
1.30 - Dysart Dynamo
2.10 - Blue Lord
4.10 - Stormy Ireland
4.50 - Gaelic Warrior
and finally a long shot each way double:
2.50 - Noble Yeats
4.50 - Champion Green
Good to see Stormy Ireland in your selections, got that one in an ew line with Coach Rambler and Riviere d'Etoile.Quote:

Free hit on the first with SkyBet so will go for Kilcruit at a tastier price.
14:10 - Haut En Couleurs
14:50 - Floueur
15:30 - Intrigued by Appreciate It but Honeysuckle is that good will just sit and enjoy the race
16:10 - Burning Victory
16:50 - Doctor Brown Bear E/W
17:30 - Run Wild Fred
Hopefully it’s not as bad a day for the Brits as i’ve predicted.
The first race of the meeting should be a cracker. I'm on Constitution Hill.
Good luck all.
Wow, what was that, twenty-five lengths? Constitution Hill destroyed them; Jonbon is a terrific horse but was made to look like a seller. Dysart Dynamo crashed out.Quote:

Pleasing, he travelled very well and jumped very smoothly.Quote:

They say never bet on sentiment, but I've got to take Frodon EW in the next, with six places on offer. He's giving away lots of weight and has miles on the clock, but he's proven quality, an at 12/1 he's well capable of getting placed.
Great start, who’s winning the next? :greengrinQuote:

Frodon finished well down the field. He gave his all as always, but he was carrying so much weight. It was worth a go.Quote:

Also wee EW on Epatante at 16/1. Too good to refuse.
Grabbed a Power Price on PP with Constitution Hill and Honeysuckle @ 6.5, here's hoping
Never in doubt!Quote:

Great horse and the bookies will have taken a bit of a hit so far which is pleasing.
I was a wee bit concerned with Epatante still in contention going to the last but she fluffed her lines and gave it some crack, I don't think she was ever getting past Honeysuckle but it might have been a bit more nervy. Zanahiyr ran a stormer as well.
That's me for the day. Probably should have doubled up Edwardstone and Honeysuckle but happy with my return on each. Playing with bookies money for the next couple of days.
Fabulous horse.
No idea about the 4.10 although Stormy Ireland is in my revised ew acca.
I've had a good day, so I'm sticking £20 on Stattler to win the last at 2/1.
Need Stormy ireland to win my E/W treble. :aok:Quote:

Andy Dufresne @ 13/2 for tommorow
Sir Gerhard in The Ballymore has to be nap of the day. Bravemansgame, Shishkin and Facile Vega for me - keep it simple; and of course Tiger Roll in what might be his swansong. Singles and some acca combination. I will look for a wee EW bargain, too.Quote:

I’ve been going to festival since 1995 and yesterday was the best day I’ve ever had, bet the first 2 winners then had exacta in Champion hurdle, somehow found Marie’s Rock and already had a couple of ante post bets on Stattler at 14-1 and 16-1. Amazing day, to be greedy if Ahoy Senor wins today that would make my day today. Good luck to all.Quote:

It wouldn't surprise me if the latter is backed into something close to the favourite by the off. a great jumper, looks a stayer and has powered up that stiff hill at Sandown to win twice. That's a course that really puts jumping to the test and he has done it in style.
Singles and doubled them up as well.
Also having a trixie on the 3 (current) favourites in the 1.30, 2.10 and 3.30. 3 winners would return about £140 for a £20 outlay which isn't to be sniffed at.
Had a cracking day yesterday with my 2 big bets, I've been firing into Honeysuckle and Edwardstone all year so can relax a bit today and just enjoy it.
Took Journey With Me as well.
Had a good day yesterday so nothing much for me either. Got Shiskin in a line and a wee wager on Ahoy Senor in the 2.10. Andy Dufresne in the 4.50.
L’Homme Presse in the second race is the one I fancy the most today I’ve taken Stage Star against the favourite in the first with skybets money back offer.
Shishkin, Tiger Roll and Facile Vega in a treble.
13:30 - Three Stripe Life
14:10 - L’Homme Presse
14:50 - Gowel Road
16:50 - For Pleasure e/w
Congratulations, you must be quids in! That's up there with Kevin's lucky 15! :aok:Quote:

Pleasing. You have to feel for those who had Bravemansgame ante-post. Nicholls furious on ITV about watering the course the night before a lot rain had been forecast.Quote:

That was brilliant from L'Homme Presse. Looked the winner from miles out.
Shiskin in the 3.30 will see my trixie still pay about £40 with the non runner but with that win I'm already in small profit for the day again.
Jumped brilliantly from fence to fence, you can always rely on Venetia in the rain softened ground. I never even had a bet after the FAV was withdrawn.Quote:

Paddy Power paying seven places in the Coral Cup, so I've gone EW on Saint Felcien and Gowel Road.
Surprised at you looking a gift horse in the mooth, mate!Quote:

Gutted, had Shishkin in a lot of Accas throughout the week, weather has completely ******* it. Added even more guttedness when I noticed it was down to 2 places as I grabbed Envoi Allen at 21.0 EW. I hate horses.
Think I’m going to avoid the favourites tomorrow.Quote:

Lesson learned and next year I'll be waiting to place bets on the day of the race, I'll take the hit on the odds because it is now a lottery as mentioned previously.
Ah the great Tiger Roll pipped on the line by Delta Work in his final race. He was on ground he hates, but what an effort from a true champion. You could hear a pin drop at the finish.
Thanks for the memories, Tiger, and here's hoping he enjoys a long retirement.
Glorified handicapper! 😉Quote:

Managed to get the Exacta in the Grand Annual so that paid for my day, horrible day up there so left early. We go again tomorrow.:aok:
Always liked Tiger Roll, great wee horse, but as far as I'm concerned Elliot shouldn't even be allowed to train horses after that photograph taken of him. ****in dick. That said, hope you got something back for it mate, not having a go at you.Quote:

After yesterdays horrendous weather it’s glorious here today, not any strong fancies today but I’ll take a chance on Royal Kahala in the Stayers and Imperial Alcazar in the 4.10, good luck to all.:aok:
13.30 - Bob Olinger

14.50 - Allaho
15.30 - Paisley Park
16.10 - Schiehallion Munro e/w

Loves the soft ground and should go well :aok:Quote:

First race demonstrates the thrills and spills of jump racing. Galopin Des Champs, known for his immaculate jumping, falls at the last when ten lengths clear. Bob Olinger, a terrific horse, just couldn't live with him. Really unfortunate and brings back painful memories of Goshen falling at the last at Cheltenham a couple of years ago, when I needed him for an acca to come up.
So unlucky, he was travelling like a dream , but just stumbled upon landing. He looked clear of the fence, but just couldn't sort his feet upon landing.Quote:

Minella Indo has flopped repeatedly this season but seems to save his best for Cheltenham. Al Boum Photo done what he had to do last time out but I think he may be a bit of a spent force, regaining the GC has only happened once for a reason and that was an all time great.
If there is another downpour I might opt for Royal Pagaille. Otherwise I'm going to gamble that Protektorat relaxes into this if he doesn't have to make the running and can run a big race at 8s.
Looking at Royal Pagaille each way. Almost impossible to pick the winnerQuote:
