What are we thinking for the GC?
I'm struggling to pick it apart Tbh. Galvin seems the obvious after turning over A'Plus Tard but Cheltenham is a different beast and the GC is run at a ferocious pace. He'll have to improve again. 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.
A Plus Tard for me but I haven’t been able to pick my nose so far. It’s a pretty uninspiring field.
Been at Cheltenham for the last two days. The only thing I’ve won is the hearts of bookies!
Some event though!
13.30 - Pied Piper win
14.10 - State man win
14.50 - Shantreuse e/ew
Porticello in the Triumph Hurdle.
Galvin and ew on Royal Pagaille in the Gold Cup.
I’ve found myself drawn to Porticello too and ended up having a fair bet on him.
Gold cup is tough, I don’t love anything, and despite never being on its side previously, think I’ll end up playing Al Boum Photo at 12s. Maybe that could change once I get my head in the RP! I was on Minella Indo last year but not especially keen on that one (or anything else) this time round.
13:30 - Vauban
14:10 - Surprise Package
14:50 - Ginto
15:30 - A Plus Tard
16:10 - Billaway (surely this time)
16:50 - Mount Ida
17:30 - Ilikedwayurthinkin e/w
Mullins with a sting in the tail on the final day. Hope Ginto is ok looked like it had a great chance
Looked like ginto tried to jump the sand hopefully alright
Get in there. Saved a shocking week
Waiting on Elimay to win the next race and Chemical Energy to place in the last race for £304.
1st day profits have been eroded a bit, not too bad though. Hopefully Concertista can get over the line in the next for a nice end to the week.
Bad day for the bookies, can't believe winged leader didn't finish it
Well that’s me on the way back home, very enjoyable week as always and managed a good healthy profit for a change!! Had A Plus Tard and Banbridge in the last so a decent day again yesterday. hope some on here also had a decent week and no disasters(it’s easily done!). Roll on next year!!:agree:
Much as I love the Cheltenham festival, a thought for the 4 horses who tragically had to be put down, RIP.
