... certainly not me (an expert) ... however I was reading the Metro this morning who made the case for the second favourite (Torphicen) in the Cheltenham @ 1.30pm.
Progressive 4 year old, won last two races in lower company - has 8 pounds on rest of field. Has won at the distance but not the course. Jumped very well.
Cousin Vinny is the favourite (unseated rider last - with some novicey jumping) - 10/3. It is a Novice Hurdle (Grade 1) but I don"t like reading that for the favourite.
Torphicen is currently 6/1 on Betfair hard to see that lasting ... not a massive bet but any thoughts?

I"d forgotten it was Cheltenham Festival this week.
Work rescheduled, thanks Louis. ;D
Can"t see past Cousin Vinny in the first, but what do I know ?
Cheltenham and Goodwood are the only festivals I have a bet on when it comes to the horses. Here"s my selections for today (for what it"s worth ;D )
13:30 Cousin Vinny
14:05 Tartak (e/w)
14:40 Possol (e/w)
15:20 Osana
16:00 Garde Chompetre
16:40 United

... amazingly I got got a text from Paddy Power ...
Losing single/ew bets refunded if Cousin Vinny Wins ... now that becomes a monster bet if the odds are okay ....
Call

... even better I call up Paddy Power and there is £70 sitting in my account that I had forgotten about ... mmm
5/1 with money back if the favourite wins ... get on ...

Thats like finding money down the back of the sofa. Nice one. ;D

Finally got a winner in the 5th. ;D

i"m on
1.30 cant buy time
2.05 karabak
2.40 gone to lunch
3.20 master minded
4.00
4.40 miss sarenne
-
... got a place in the first on Drumcovis which made a real mess of the 4th from home ... aside Parsons Pistol had a lot of pace but jumped terribly.
Won the second with Mikael D"H ... which made a mess of the second last ... Karabak unlucky ...
... going on What a friend - (owned by Alex Ferguson in the next)
Hard to see past Masterminded but I tempted with the 6/4 that it wins but by less than 13 lenghts.
... not got to the 4.00 yet!
-
Whooooa, a win and a place. ;D
Okay, the win was obvious, but the place is a superb effort from a horse thats not run for ages. Well pleased with that.
-
3.20 well chief (w/o masterminded)
Rob,
What odds did you get on this ? Very nice.
-
... Well chief ... well played ... hilarious jump at the last by Petit Robin gives it on a plate ... but a classy re-appearence ...
4pm must be running now ... I am on 90th min ...

... an outrageous day on the Horses for me ... going to finish +£240 with a £25 "freeroll" on Morning Supreme in the 5.15pm ...
I have asked my lady to book dinner ... so let"s see how much gets home with me??
Good luck the chiefs.

... Dunguid ... different class ... Shinrock Paddy looked good in running ...

That surprised me a bit. Romped it in the end.
I think I might go back to my Goodwood method of picking my runners the night before. I tune into the morning line and have my mind changed by lsitening to the so-called "experts".
Small dent on winnings today, will post day 3 selections later. ;D
-
... I will try and look at this in the morning ... and not in running ... though a good day for me ...
Any thoughts on the National ...
I have been betting on Irish Invader with a view to laying (perhaps) for a free roll on the day ... starting at 109/1 ... average about 62/1 ... with most bookies 33/1 ... so when the market thickens up should be able to chop the down side.
Last year I "literally" rode the winner (Comply or Die) ... every step of the way ... brought back great memories of Papillion. I had had a good day on the earlier races so up the stakes and ended up £2k! (Woop Woop!)
Depending on the ground - Comply or Die has to have a shout to place at last - such a good jumper.

3.20 well chief (w/o masterminded)
Rob,
What odds did you get on this ? Very nice.
5 to 1
shiiiiiiip it!!!!
I also then had a punt on "ninetieth minute" in the next race and that won at 16s.
My ROI was -33% on monday but is now sitting at a much better +40%
picks for tomorrow
1.30 astarador EW
2.05 synchronised EW
2.40 voy por ustedes
3.20 kasbah bliss
4.00 ping pong sivola EW

Day Three Picks
1.30 Ring The Boss (To Place)
2.05 Ballydub
2.40 Our Vic (To Place)
3.20 Kasbah"s Bliss
4.00 Three Mirrors
4.40 Shouldhavehadthat
-
Have some of my bets sorted for tomorrow despite a fried brain:
13:30 Ring The Boss
14:05 Synchronised
14:40 Tidal Bay is the only one I feel could give Voy Por a run, but can"t bring myself to place the bet.
15:20 Torn between Fair Along and Punchestown - no bet yet
16:00 Perce Rock
16:40 Shouldhavehadthat
Have a few e/w"s thrown in for good measure on Shakervilz, Pop, Akilak & Le Duc. The kids picked Brooklyn Breeze for their e/w.
Good luck everyone!!! Fingers crossed for the lot of us.
-
Good choices Leigh and Laxie.
A friend of mine has told me to back ballydub, so I might have to have a go there. I think fair along is a top horse but its front running tactics are just not suited for the world hurdle IMO.
Good luck everyone
-
horrible day today...beating myself up for not backing cooldine, the form was there in black and white! also fancied dunguib all winter for the bumper, then decided to leave it alone as there were so many with chances (im such an idiot!)
on a big treble with master minded, kasbah bliss and voy por ustedes so they are my big hopes for tommorow... though a race fit tidal bay frightens the life out of me ( might have to have a saver)
i too wont be watching the morning line tommorow leigh!
-
Looked a bit at this this morning ...
2.40 voy por ustedes
3.20 kasbah bliss
Too short for me ...
... aside I got way-laid by the value on Ogilvy to win the golf ... I will start a separate thread for that ...
L
-
Finally made up my mind in those 2 races. Have gone with Tidal Bay and Punchestown.
We go mad with the horses twice a year in this house...and Cheltenham is one of those times. Should really considering watching the races at a friend"s...to stop me having more e/w"s before the day is out! lol

To be honest Laxie, I don"t know why they don"t just uproot Cheltenham and ship it to Ireland for the week. ;D
The atmosphere is always incredibly. As I said before, this and Glorious Goodwood are my two betting festivals for the year. Cheltenham for the TV and I"m a member at Goodwood, so thats a weeks holiday each year sorted. ;D
Good luck today.

Ok here are my donkeys for today
1.30 kia kaha
2.05 don't push it
2.40 voy por ustedes
3.20 kasbah bliss
4.00 finger onthe pulse
4.40 poker de sivola
Not having any bets as I'm not a big gamble ::) but a place pot just in case
I am more of a flat person myself (let the jokes begin)

Thats a great idea, given how tough it is picking winners today.
-
Oh, it"s going to be a tricky afternoon. ;D
-
Don"t really fancy much today but Kasbah bliss looks like an obvious but boring choice.
-
First two races went well...NOT! Soooooo glad we only do this twice a year. lol
-
... I weakened and went with the distinctly average ...
2.40 voy por ustedes - Scream!
I will now oppose the next favourite and lose ... on Big Bucks ...
L
-
I"ve drawna massive blank in the first 3 races. gutted about voy por ustedes. I know Imperial commander is a cheltenham specialist but still thought voy por had enough class. I think this could be a bad day. I"m now fully expecting kasbah bliss to get beaten by punchestowns!!
-
I just want a pick that"s in with a shot a few out.
Please. ;D
-
Oh, it"s going to be a tricky impossible afternoon. ;D

LMAOOOOOO!!! At least yer not alone. ;)

at least the bookies will be open tomorrow. I reckon a lot of them would have packed up and gone if voy por and kasbah both won.
Not worked it out but my ROI is definitely back in the negative. Need a miracle in the last 2

woop woop. First 2 home in the 4.00!! Saved my thursday (not sure if I had ping pong sivola EW or not but a big priced winner though!!)
i"m free rolling in the last. come on Bowleaze and le toscan!!
-
horrible day... think voy por would have won but for that bad mistake 3 or 4 out.
as for kasbah bliss......
lets hope for a better day tommorow...come on starluck!!!
-
... Big Bucks makes me positive ... +£31.50 ... very cautious today ... too many brain sapping meetings ...
Looking forward to the Eyes Wide Shut tonight ... my signature tournament at the moment ... 11pm - $50+5 - 1500 chips - 5 min levels - usually about 90 runners ...
Last 4 attempts (3rd,2nd,37th,5th) $220 in - $2000 out ... so I have 32 free rolls before back to even!
Not the most skillful event ... but great (recent) returns ...

Hi Guys,
Me and my mate are looking to have i little flutter on the horses today but the only problem is we havent a clue what to back!!! :-\
It seems after reading this thread there is a few people who have a good idea!!!
My mate has said the fit bird on sky sports has tipped Kauto Star for the 3.20!!!
So any tips for today would be appreciated.
Cheers
JP
-
My tip would be to always watch the fit bird on sky sports, but don"t always listen to what she has to say. ;D
-
Yesterday, was yesteday. Profound hey, but best forgotten.
I"m into negative ROI and not happy. Here"s todays picks to sort things out or crush me further.
1:30 Walkon
2:05 Dave"s Dream
2:40 Cape Tribulation
3:20 Denman
4:00 Christy Beamish (e/w)
4:40 Mamlook
5:15 I"m So Lucky
Good luck guys, I think the Gold Cup has the potential to be a cracker.

So true.... I will switch on the mute button next time!!!! :D
We im going to read up on some form and try work today out for myself, although if, and its a big IF, i do win anything it will be purely down to luck rather than judgement...
I will post my picks up soon so you can all have a good laugh!!!
Happy Racing
JP

Still freerolling thanks to the first two days, but not by much. Yesterday was a killer! lol Need a good day today to make the week an overall winner. This is what I have so far:
13:30
Simarian e/w - kid"s pick (they like huge odds...lol)
Lethal Weapon e/w
Ebadiyan - win
14:05
Sunnyhillboy - win
14:40
Browns Baily - e/w
15:20
16:00
Southwestern - e/w
16:40
Faltering Fullback - e/w
17:15
Valain - e/w
Haven"t decided what I"m doing for the Gold Cup yet and will more than likely have the odd e/w throughout the day.
Fingers crossed for the lot of us!!!
-
... for me KAUTO STAR is just screaming out for some wedge ...
Fresh as a daisy by all accounts ...
See the daisy - pick the daisy - right?
Louis
-
One bookmaker is offering 6 places each way on the 2:05 County Hurdle.
Better not name them, but if you win then the ***"s the limit. ;D
-
... looks like there is a gamble brewing for Kauto Star ... just about Even money now ... I don"t really expect it to start at that ... more like 13/8 ...
As an aside - is it against the "rules" to post Bookies name"s on this?

No rules as such, but obviously Blue Square sponsor APAT, so common sense prevails.
I"m starting to question my Denman choice.
Just think Kauto Star will flop. I was stuck between Denman and Neptune Collonges. I think too much has been taken from Denman"s last run out.
Fingers crossed anyway.
-
... fair play to Blue Square ... though I take the view that talking about gambling generates traffic ... which in reality is likely to be spread out ...
Aside - my mate who is having a cracking festival is going to have a "right go" at Madison Du Berlais ... about 11/1
The racing post is all over Kauto Star ... which means it will start short ...
Denman ... minor fitness doubts (as Kauto Star did last year) ... it is getting a decent price ...
L
-
denman has had a rushed prep...defo not going to win! ground going against neptune and kauto..im just not sure he is as good as he was.
really keen on barbers shop ew....step up to 3miles 2 will really suit, just think he has a chsnce of outstaying kauto up that hill!
rest of selections:
130 starluck
205 aachen
240 cape tribulation (chariot charger ew)
320 barbers shop ew
400 murphys cardinal ew
440 big eared fran (definately a pipe winner)
515 poquelin (andy stewarts best chance of the meeting)
think and hope today will be a profitable one!!
good luck everyone ;D
-
... I am with you on Aachen ... finding the rest very tough ...
L
-
my uncle (who is a racing nut) took my dad my brother and his mate to cheltenham yesterday they all know nothing about racing end of the day the stacks were
Dad up £100
Brother £280
Brothers Mate £220
Uncle (the expert) £50 down
talk about beginners luck

With a parents evening last night followed by the City match I"ve had no time to pick my nags for today. Luckily I had a free period today and have now invested in the following
1.30 starluck, ebadiyan, reve de sivola (EW)
2.05 sunnyhillboy, raise your heart (EW)
2.40 Alpha ridge
3.20 Exotic dancer (EW) barbers shop (EW)
with the rest to follow once i get home
Currently have an ROI of 25% for the meeting after my late wins yesterday.
I have gone for a few trend busters today so the only selection that I really reccommend is Alpha ridge in the 2.40.
Good luck everyone. First off in 20 minutes
-
To be a teacher, I thought all day was a free period?

Zaynar annoyingly good ... to just beat Walkon (which I was on) ... I get the feeling it might become a day of 2nd places ...
Walkon ... a bit boxed in ... narrow win ... annoying.
Aachen in the next - I think I am happiest about for the day.
L
-
Star de mahaison e/w in the gold cup. 28/1 at present.
If Denman can get back back to near his best the 7/1 is great e/w value.
-
Walkon ... a bit boxed in ... narrow win ... annoying.
Just not enough in the tank. At least I had one to cheer on to the line, an improvement on yesterday. ;D
Sunnyhillboy a massive market mover in the next.
-
... GRRR Aachen tries to kick a fence over when handily placed ...
American Trilogy kicks ass ... hard to back that except for the Ruby Walsh factor ... his sixth winner of the festival ... very impressive 20/1 shot.
... let"s hope (from my point of view) same story on Kauto"s Star ...
L
-
I stuck a wee e/w on American Trilogy right before the race just because I"m a yank and was bored at the time. GET IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That"s my day made now no matter what the rest do.
Meanwhile...the teens just walked in the door from school and and have made their picks of the day. 16 year old son picked Limerick Boy in the 4:00, but 13 year old daughter"s pick was a quiet giggle for me. "Hangover. That one HAS to be Irish. Let me see the stats Mom." Show her. "Yep. I KNEW it! I want that one." That"s my girl. Sigh. Soooooooooo, she has Hangover in the 4:40. Dread to find out what the 11 year old will pick when she gets home in 20 minutes.
-
Nice one Laxie.
I love it when those gut feeling bets come in.
Come on Denman !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
And continuing on with the gut feeling thing, I"ve put a wee e/w on Airforce One just now.
-
Kauto Star, absolute quality. Just couldn"t back it at those odds, but never looked like losing it. Oh well. ;D
-
That was class
It had it won 3 out
ship it
-
As expected. Great run! Luckily, I was in on a betting syndicate for that one.
Youngest home from school has picked Clew Bay Cove 5:15 and her friend has picked Ofarel D"airy in the 4:00. Half the neighbourhood"s kids are in my sitting room right now. FML. lol

Ireland + Gold Cup = All rules out the window. lol Every one of their parents knows where they are and what they"re at. Only day of the year they get away with it though. ;)

Kauto Star ... how could you not back it ... TOTAL class ...
Getting killed on everything else though!

not a good day for me. Exotic dancer placed and a place in the last race, but still all my profit eaten up.
I finished cheltenham slightly down but essentially break even with an ROI of
-0.18%

thank god its finished! everything i touched turned into a blackpool donkey since end of day 1.
i need a stiff drink!

... so what are the big Grand National thoughts?
I started backing Irish Invader at 109/1 now 37/1 ... so this is my big winner.
Also on Rambling Minister 20/1 now 12/1 best ... and I think this is really my BIG TIP.
Comply or Die won big for me last year ... but has no form ... sentimental bet ... but hard to see it being any real value this year around.
Who is punting what?
Louis
-
War of Attrition 4 me each way at 25-1
-
I have a great GN record (3 wins and a second in 4 years) but normally leave this untill final decs (missing out on value), but from what has been mentioned so far
war of attrition and comply or die seem too heavily laden
irish invader has serious stamina issues
rambling minster looks a great pick and ticks all the boxes (well done on getting 20/1 louis)
-
... when I punted Irish Invader it was with a view to lay (and take the free-roll) ... but there appears to be endless money for it ... so perhaps I will let it go and hope for good ground!
I may chop the Comply or Die bet ...
Rambling Minister ... getting pretty short now.
When I studied the form pre these bets - it didn"t appear there was an obvious choice.
I don"t really think Comply or Die has too much weight - just no form.
War of Attrition is nagging at me ... I do like it!
L
-
Irish Invader is now best priced 27/1 which seems nuts to me ... Paddy Power down to 16/1 ... all good news for me as I
can close for a hefty free roll on the day.
It does seem way to short given it"s lack of exposure over anything like the distance but does the money talk?
Really looking forward to the race on Saturday.
I dare say there will be more money for the Irish raider ... but Rambling Minister is the one for me ... best priced at 12/1
Hard to see it starting at more than 10/1.
Pondering.
L
-
War of Attrition out of the big race.
Took another proper look at this, this morning.
My Will is plenty short @ 8/1 - albeit under Ruby Walsh - Paul Nicholls defending his 0 from 40 record in the National.
Not many horses winning with 11 stone ... so I am defo binning Comply or Die (also no form).
2005 - Hedgehunter - 11 stone 1 W Mullins - R Walsh 7/1
1988 - Rhyme & Reason - 11 stone 0 D Elsworth - B Powell 10/1
Worth also noting Papillon 10 stone 12 (won easily) T Walsh - R Walsh 10/1
I cannot get excited about Butler"s Cabin.
But for the weight I would be getting involved with Black Apalachi. (E/W Value?)
So I am sticking with Rambling Minster (10 stone 9) and (stamina doubt but massively gambled on) Irish Invader (10 stone 9) ... trained by W Mullins ... the next Hedge Hunter!?
Irish Invader is now as low as 14/1 (25/1 still available and 28/1 on Betfair ... but I expect not for long)
L
-
not had a proper look at this and my record in the national is quite shocking (due to me always going for value bets)
i really like the look of 2 of nigel twiston davies". battlecry might just have the class to win this and knowhere, which i backed last year was going really well when unseating last year and is a fantastic price at 66-1
i think state of play will be my main bet though.
mind you after my cheltenham picks pls everyone ignore this post! ;D

Mighty Man is the value in the Aintree 2.00.
I backed Big Bucks for Cheltenham win ... but plenty short at about 4/5.
Mighty Man just over 5/1 at the moment.
I have foolishly booked a dentist"s appointment for the off time ... I wonder if he will but the radio on>>>???
L
-
Mighty Man smacks the last hurdle and the game is up .... GRRR!
DENMAN time ... just going small on it ... want to cheer it on ...
L
-
... bad fall for Denman ... though in truth Madison Du Berlais the better horse on the day ... a massive 12/1 ... franking the Hennessey form ... mmm.
3.45pm a massive pin pickers race ... for what it is worth I have small bets on.
Distant Thunder
Christy Beamish
Jurado Express

I like Nina Carberry so went with a wee e/w on Where Now and couldn"t get Jurado Express outta me head, so went with a wee e/w there too. First bets of the day for me.

Youre in trouble im on tidal bay too. :D

... just noted the horse in the 3.45pm is called Gwanako and not GW*nko ... as I typed earlier ... I suspect my naming may be more correct ...
Have to say some of the jumping in the 2.35pm was absolutely shocking ... and in the 2pm the principles laid it on a plate for El Dancer ... which was tipped up by a couple of the papers ... GRRR!

G****o and oodachee e-w in the 3.45.

... another terrible day capped off by the "GENIUS" approach of Morning Supreme to treat the final race like a sprint!
LOL stuff really ...
Also amusing by Chilli Rose"s stearing problems ...
Most of the racing today looked more like greyhounds with bumping/barging, terrible jumping and horses that should be wide seeded ... oh well ...
As predicted would have been much better punting Voy Por Ustedes despite the price!
Cannot get any worse tomorrow ...

My neighbour Siobhan called in about 2 races ago. We"ve been sat having the old glass of wine whilst watching the races.
15 minutes before the off, a bit tipsy, she saw the list up and said "Put a fiver on Mon Mone".
"Ummmm, Siobhan, the horse is 100/1. Maybe 2.50 each way would be a better idea because there"s every chance it"ll place, but sweet feck all chance it"ll win."
"OK, go on then. 2.50 each way."
So I placed the bet giggling mad at her wasted money. Sigh. GG WP
-
hehe I picked the winner, had £1 each way for £127 woot.
-
Mon Mome backers ... great work ... an amazing run ...
Gutted for Comply or Die which won for me last year ... and would have saved me today!

-
Every Wednesday and Saturday I sit at my TV when lotto comes on and shout cmon mum bring me my numbers LOL. When i looked through names (I always pick a name I fancy rather than stats) and saw Mon Mome I thought that"ll do nicely hehe.

Well done Mary,Ailsa did the same ,she even bought me a case of lager.gg wp nh the wife ;D
-
LOL, WP to you Mair, the over-generous Mrs P and Laxie"s Neighbour.
-
Well done Mary and Alisa!!!
Laxie"s neighbour ended up blotto on 4 bottles of wine from the celebrations and Mr. Laxie had to carry her back to her own house next door. Mrs. Laxie knew it was coming, so only had 3 glasses of wine over the course of the evening to keep said neighbour out of trouble up the village. I"m now ready to meet Himself for a night out in the village. Whatever about horses, forward planning for the win! LOL
-
LOL get in, have a gr8 night hun

The moral of the story is women pwn men at picking 100/1 winners
