Still up on the week but pretty poor festival for me in terms of winners, apart from the Mullins thing and Tiger roll haven't had a single winner!

Hopefully Eastlake can end it on a high and one of these old boys will win in their last race at the festival!
 
So this last race there is 1 Elliott horse and no Mullins so this is quite straight forward

THE GAME CHANGER WINS :1980_boogie_down:
 
Henderson normally has a whole battalion in this but only one this year, THEINVAL, took 14s last night. Had savers on THE GAME CHANGER and a sentimental one on CROCO BAY. Regardless of the outcome this will be my best Festival day ever.
 
Well done the forum .... loads of winners as usual <ok>

Show is over - I'm off to Tesco's <laugh>

I have a racing free day tomorrow, so good luck to the rest of you :)
 
This has been the worst Cheltenham festival I've had from a punting point of view in over a decade, yet I've still shown a profit.

Even a bad week is a profitable week, at the easiest meeting of the year to pick winners :biggrin:

What a week, not much to show for it, but it was entertaining.
That Thursday 4 for Mullins was, you have to say, quite something.
Friday was amazing, more twists and turns than Agatha Christie - even bleedin Pachu du Thingy winning FFS!

Well done all that found some fantastic winners.
 
Not long back from Cheltenham! Well what a day! The best days racing I have had (in terms of returns) my confidence in SIZING JOHN was not let down (put up in the preview thread!) Defi Du Seuil the good thing of the week went in 10/1 for the champion hurdle for you shrewd backers <laugh> Followed by a nice bob on Pacha Du Polder (I wonder how Victoria felt!!) and finally Rock The World (my other horse) Dodgin Bullets surely now must be retired such a regressive horse!!

Looks like the winners have been banging in here so well done guys <cheers>
 
Scattergun approach paid off again with returns for the first three in this year's Cheltenham Gold Cup!

The 'trick' is not too compare the amount of your total bets with your total returns; have to admit I had backed Don Cossack, Thistlecrack and Coneygree however the inflated early ante post prices plus the 'early' NRNB offers help!

That's me 'kaput' until the 2017 Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe apart from a trip to Auteuil in May for the Grand Steeplechase de Paris.
