The odds of that probably far outweigh the odds! ;D

Here's my 1st of many as the festival looms up long"ish ""short list"" for this years Cheltenham 2012, early days yet mind and i will try to keep an open mind right up to the weekend before the meeting, so picks might and will probably change.. Just spent the night watching the superbowl and going over the potential runners, the Gold Cup looks wide open this year, i"ve had a wee rare for me ante post dabble on Quito De La Roque his Lexus run i"ve ignored :) with the proximity of Roberto Goldbeck i think Quito just had a off day and will put up a far better performance in the Hennessey.... [i hope as then his odds will tumble for the GC]
So after watching a few races, reading up on trainers comments etc and doing some number crunching on my abacus my tentative picks and long shots at the mo are -
Champion Hurdle - Hurricane Fly
World Hurdle - Big Bucks
the 1st 2 should be nailed on lol... :)
Arkle - Peddlers Cross
Neptune - Simonsig to upset current fav Boston Bob [i"m hoping]
RSA - Last Instalment and First Lieutenant
Ryanair - Quel Esprit [if he runs] or Blazing Tempo [possibles to cause a upset]
Albert Bartlett - Sword of Destiny at a nice price is interesting
Gold Cup - Quito de la Roque, Quel Esprit [if he runs] Grand Crus [cant ignore him, i hope connections decide to give him a go in the big"un]
not long to go :)

Absolutely agree with this, otherwise we might as well just all pack it in.

Always been a follower of Grand Crus, so hoping they make the right decision.
Sword of Destiny is an interesting pick. ;)

Agreed - I have one ante post bet (which is not normally my thing) on all 4 champions retaining their titles
Hurricane and bucks are bomb proof and I loved how sizing Europe won last weekend - hopefully will be able to lay long run in the gold cup after the first 3 have gone in

If super Saturday goes ahead keep any eye on the betfair hurdle - 3 coral cup winners and 4 county hurdle winners have run in it in the last 8 years...
