Don Poli and Vautour have been the biggest bets of this Festival for many.

Exactly. In fact I saw somewhere that Vautour was the best backed horse of the week. Fair play to connections, they never hid their confidence on him either, so plenty piled in. How right they were :)
 
Anyone who backed Paint The Clouds antepost with Bet365

They are allowing me to cash out my antepost bets with Bet365 and get my stake returned fully. I've cashed the vast majority of mine and I'd recommend doing the same as his chance has virtually gone with the way the ground has gone.
 
The Triumph is certainly intriguing - and Hendo could well have the first three home. I'm loving Beltor, but Peace & Co looks a star in the making. I know people don't like backing short(ish) favs in this race, but sometimes they are short with good cause.

I have some AP vouchers still live for tomorrow - best of which is Coneygree at 20's and 12's. He looks a serious horse to me, and I don't buy into this novice thing - they are either good enough or they ain't. And I think he IS good enough. I also have Lord Windermere at a still available 14-1
One ap bet that needn't have been placed, but ho-hum, is Carningli at 100-1 and is still 100-1 :)

Along with Carningli, I have Tea for Two at a tasty 33-1 ew, two in the Pipe race - both Pipe Jr's runners Vueax Lion Rouge at 18-1 and Balgarry at 25-1 (he MUST win it one day!) In the McCoy race I'm liking Next Sensation at a useful 14-1

But best of all - Salsify in the Foxhunters. A dual winner of this previously, his recent spin after over 400 days off should have him spot on for this and 10-1 is an each way MUST bet :)

Shame I didn't do the tricast! Still happy enough that I swerved Beltor :D
 
Very disappointed chap here!

Just before 3 out Beltor got stuck for room as he looked to be cutting his way through past a few horses. I'm not trying to look for excuses but I think if he'd got through and been better placed coming to the last three he might have finished better than 5th. Still not too bad a run the first three look pretty decent

Probably one of the hardest races of the week next - each way bets on Sort it out and Violet Dancer
 
It's good to see Nicky Henderson with 3 good juveniles to go forward with. As quality was beginning to look thin on the ground in his yard :biggrin:
