Cheltenham Day 4 - Daily Thread | Horse Racing

I sincerely hope you don't!..

 

There's no way that's on proper veterinary grounds.

O'Neill could get a vet to sign a horse off saying it had been re-classified as a class 6 camel if he wanted.

I got a text from an Irish boy in Cheltenham this morning saying to lump on Swnymor in the 1:30.

I'll take him up on it and he owes me a pint if it pulls up or tumbles.

Nicholl's form has to change, surely and Ruby is looking for the TJA so I'm backing Silviniaco Conti.

 

1-30=Far West.
2-05=Tennis Cap.
2-40=At Fishers Cross.
3-20=Silviniaco Conti.
4-00=Tricky Trickster.
4-40=Salubrious.
5-15=Ulck Du Lin.
Good luck to all.

Enjoyed the Festival very much although yesterday was grim in many respects, so first an foremost speedy recoveries to Davy Russell and J.T.McNamara from their very serious injuries. These guys and the horses give so much for our enjoyment. Safe journeys home to both of them.

Well, second bet of the day, and last at the meeting after no luck at all so far, will be:

15.20 Cheltenham - Silviniaco Conti

(Maybe Paul Nicholls can salvage something out of this year's Festival, with the big win of the meeting?).

GL to all, and continuing success to the many winners already on the Forum)

 

Paddy refunding antepost bets on Sunnyhill boy.

 

To all those worried about Paul Nicholl's form; Celestial Halo ran a cracker to finish 2nd in the world Hurdle yesterday, while on Weds he had the 2nd and 3rd in the Fred Winter.

 

Oh wow, that's some truly wonderful stuff, Nicholls is definitely on fire

 

Three placed finishes for one of the biggest trainers in the game and someone who is meant to be one of if not the best trainers is pathetic. Not talking out my pocket either because the only Nicholls horse i've backed is Wonderful Charm but only had a small bet.

Just think him and AP are so over-rated when it comes to Cheltenham, both always seem to have poor festivals the last few years

Paul Barber's reason for why he thinks Silviniaco Conti will win today:

'Why do you think Ruby Walsh is riding it?'

That just happened.
