    On the other hand quel if they all win you'd better cash in quickly and lay everything else off as the bookies won't have the money to pay out <yikes>

    Is it me or is does this feel like one of the least competitive Cheltenham's ever! So many hotpots and two horse toss ups!

    I know you/they love her. I rate her very highly as well. I'd just be interested to know what rating they expect or think she can reach. If she's potentially a 150 horse then she's nailed on for second tomorrow and is within half a stone of Quevega which would be a fantastic achievement for the horse and the yard.

    This is what worries me. It seems too easy.

    Hurricane Fly - should win easily. SS should win easily. Quevega should win easily. All these and it's just day one and everyone is on for a load of multiples. Something will go wrong.

    Now he's saying Le Tissier was as good as Giggs and Scholes. AS GOOD AS GIGGS AND SCHOLES PEOPLE. I do not know where to begin.

    You're right Quelesprit - something will go wrong. This is Cheltenham after all and one of the beauties of it is the unpredictability.

    I'm working and plus-ing the racing tomorrow, so won't be here (or at the course!!)

    Looking forward to seeing Sprinter Sacre demolish his field, but not a working man's price. Got Darlan in the Supreme - competitive race, but a very good animal.
    Hold on Julio and Hunt Ball complete my bets.

    Except that I'm opposing the Fly with Zarkandar! Not that I'm expecting him to win, but he is unbeaten in three for ME so wouldn't want to be betless should the unthinkable happen :)

    Good luck all <ok>

    This all seems to obvious to me. Cheltenham is sucking us all in like a siren to the rocks.

    Hey guys,
    been watching your tips and talk for the last cupel of months. Good luck tomorrow and for the rest of the week.
    My picks are,
    Trifolium, The yard are very sweet on his chances. They also are gonna punt massively on Sea and Thunder on Friday.
    Sprinter Sacre, Nothing in the field to match him
    Tullamore Dew, placed on previous meetings, hopefully will get closer this time
    The FLy, but with a hint of caution if Binocular turns up.
    Sizing Austrailia, only 5 pounds up for last years success. Think he can hack up even more this year. De Bromhead is flying it at the moment aswell.
    What A Charm for place money, Qeuvega unbackable
    Triolo D'Alene.. Has been saved for this
    Good Luck again

    That is a quote from the Cheltenham notes, that I received for Friday. They have no dress code, but I would go smart trousers rather than jeans.

    Thanks teapot and good luck to you too, we all need a bit of luck. If you are right with Tullamore Dew I will be suicidal as it's the first time in yonks I wont have backed him!
