Cheltenham Festival 2011

[Costanza]

Thank god Si Pie didn't find a picture of a fucking Big Pun.

Binocular out after "testing positive"??  WTF!

Makes sense if you read the full article on the RP website.

Pretty good news to me, was the only one I could see giving Menorah (my nap) a race, and makes my 11/2 look tasty.

i'm torn between menorah and peddlars cross.

[DMR]

The fact PC connections spent the rest of the season after Newbury avoiding Binocular says it all for me - they knew they wouldnt have the beating of him after his prep run and don't think he's quick enough to win over 2m at Cheltenham myself

[Arriba]

dunno if they avoided binocular personally.supposedly missed some meetings due to a cough.
did beat binocular in november though,and has won every race it has run in.
my nap for the week is big bucks,but not great value really.i'll look for a decent e/w shot in that race.

[DMR]

Big Bucks being odds against is unreal, agree with you there, will be hammering that if I win some dosh on Tues.

Menorah for me. Have backed him all the way from 8's and was still able to get 5's on Thursday. Now trading at 3/1 with Binocular being withdrawn.

Will have some more on course as well. Best bet of the week.....

what else do you fancy steptoe?

what else do you fancy steptoe?

Loads.

Medermit in the Arkle, Knight Pass in the Bumper, Bobs Worth in the Neptune Hurdle, Habbie Simpson in the Albert Bartlett, Somersby in the QM and either Grand Crus or Mourad in the World Hurdle to name but a few.

I can't wait!!

[DMR]

Couldn't have Somersby in the CC unless the ground somehow turned bottomless, especially as Choc is so much weaker in the finish these days since his injury.

Good each way bet at 8/1 and he ran MM very close at Ascot last time out. Apart from Ruby Walsh, I don't think anybody rides Cheltenham better than Choc.

[DMR]

I still reckon he needs shocking ground, and hasn't AP already admitted he gave MM a shocker at Ascot? Just hope I'm not eating my words come Weds night, but I'm firmly in the lay Somersby at all costs brigade!

i wonder what peoples thoughts are on 'overturn' e/w in the champ hurdle?
finished 2nd to binocular recently. at 40/1 i might have a small e/w punt on it.

I won a £50 free bet on ladbrokes for cheltenham only so I've decided to put it on quevega £25 each way. I don't know anything about horse racing really so I just went for one that looked like a decent favourite. I also put a couple of quid on sparky way just in case that one loses. I might just put £1 on the whole field.
