Off Topic Cheltenham 2018

Which may open up the Ryanair to an outsider.

 

No idea yet - but I had an absolute shocker yesterday.

 

This is a bet that Southampton player Charlie Austin has running - doubt he will cash out as 7 grand is peanuts to him.

 

Hate to go against Charlie but I think that Mr Adjudicator has every chance in the first race (in what has been a very good Cheltenham for the Irish)..... Mr A is a fast improving young 'un and his last race was very very impressive speedwise.

 

however, my big bet today will not be on the Gold Cup which should be won by Might Bite.... but the 2.10 County Hurdle which should go to Mullins (again!!) with Meri Devie who still seems to be well ahead of the handicapper

 

Are you still in front on the week ?

 

Yep, didn't do much yesterday as I wasn't sure.... sometimes it's best just to sit and enjoy

 

I did say yesterday that I wasn't sure about Un De Sceaux but I omitted to say who I was going to back

 

The ride on UDS came in for a lot of flak on social media. I couldn’t see it myself? Beaten by an improver.

 

UDS has nothing to apologise about, the ground was not on his side and beaten by the better horse.

 

Cue Card can apologise to my wallet though

 

Expecting Cue Card to win the Ryanair is like expecting JJ & Reeves to last 90 minutes

 

True, but still sad to see him the first beaten by the top of the hill- I hope they look after a great servant now.

 

Like JJ he has earnt a decent retirement... owes nothing to the sport.

 

Come on whiskey sour. Got it this morning at 14/1

 

Placed. Meh.

 

Value in Djakadam

 

Charlie Austin did his money - Apples ran a stinker.

 

Laughable result in the 2.10

33/1 beats the 50/1

Did anyone have the forecast ?

 

Had corral in my EW accumulator. My pot went from £5kish to £145 with 2 to run .
