Your premonition was correct It was hard not to be impressed with the way he won on Saturday. That was a really competitive race and he absolutely sluiced up. Even the 9/4 that's available now for the Supreme could look big come the day!
Right - anyone care to reveal what's in their AP portfolio? Mine is: Supreme - Melodic Rendezvous JLT Midnight Chase Champion Hurdle Zarkander Cross Country Bostons Angel Neptune puffin Billy RSA Boston Bob Bumper Purple Bay Pertemps Shut the front Door Jewson Arvika Legionnaire Ryan Air Sizing Europe World Hurdle Peddlers Cross So in a nutshell if none of that lot wins, or in some cases places, I won't be able to have a bet on friday :
These still alive with just a few days to go: Hurricane Fly big win @ 9/2 Overturn small win @ 8/1 Simonsig / Sprinter Sacre very big win double @ 9/4 Cheltenian small e/w (Supreme) @ 40/1 Son OF Flicka tiny e/w @ 33/1 (Coral Cup) These are down: Go Native small e/w Champion hurdle Flemenstar big win Gold Cup Big Bucks big win Williams Wishes small e/w Champion Chase That'll be it now until the day
Dan S Ney chance Chance Needs 5m Needs 22m Winner Big chance Depends if scream mask face wants to win NR NR Should be running at Hexham just joking mate best of luck
Ok - against my better judgement I'm listing my Cheltenham portfolio. I'm not going to indicate strength of bet as my son-in-law looks here sometimes, and if he showed this to my daughter, she'd have me committed In some cases I have backed the same horse in two races as final destination is unclear, but only as NRNB Supreme: Mozoltov 25-1 win and 25-1 ew / Un Atout 20-1 win and 20-1 ew / Cheltenian 40-1 ew Ch Hrdle: Zarkandar all the way, but unfortunately only at 6-1 / I also did the £100 staking plan plus the Fly as insurance Neptune: Rule The World 12-1 win / Cheltenian 33-1 ew RSA: Dynaste 5-2 win Coral Cup: Son of Flicka 16-1 win Fred Wint: L'Umique 25-1 ew Bumper: Captain Cutter 20-1 win / Purple Bay 25-1 ew World: Wonderful Charm 12-1 ew County: Forgotten Voice 16-1 ew / Ballynagour 16-1 ew Triumph: L'Umique 20-1 ew Ryanair: Mail De Bievre 25-1 ew JLT: Ballynagour 12-1 win / Realt Mor (now absent) QMCC: Mail De Bievre 16-1 ew / Sprinter Sacre evens for Coral's £20 worth Byrne: Realt Mor (now absent) Albert: Rule the World 25-1 ew ..... just in case ....... CGC: Please don't laugh .............. Hunt Ball, back in November, after a couple of bevvies I am leaving most of the handicaps alone until final decs. It may seem like overkill, but the way I see it, I don't have to rush around studying and watching on Tuesday and Wednesday and can enjoy the day more
Don't worry about your daughter Reebs, I'm ****ing having you committed! They'll be round soon, you can struggle all you want but its for the best.........
LMFAO I blame the forum Joe. I had managed 40 odd years NEVER backing AP and never regretted it, but since hooking up on not606 and it's previous incarnation, my resistance has been slowly eroded. This IS a bit OTT however The other reason is that I'm going for the first time ever, and don't want to sod about on the day - I've got some of the handicaps to add yet
Haha! Joking apart, I think there are some good bets in there, Zarkandar, Son Of Flicka, Wonderful Charm and Purple Bay to name but four. But Hunt Ball has just convinced me you are certifiable mate!
I put a lucky 31 on a good few months back now and judging by the results i think its the last ante post bet i will do! Champion Hurdle - Darlan 10/1 Champion Chase - Sprinter Sacre 1/1 World Hurdle - Big Buck's 6/5 Mares Hurdle - Quevega 1/1 Gold Cup - Flemenstar 8/1 One is dead, one might never race again, one doesnt stay and the other two win....bit of a mixed bag!
