It's pretty much the only time I bet on horses now, bar the National. Any tips anyone? I'm going for Definitely Red as an outsider in the Gold Cup, should suit the soft/heavy ground. Plus, I'm definitely a red.
Have been a few times, enjoyed the days up there. Don't really follow racing all year round but will have a few bets this week. The day out is basically just a massive piss up with gambling involved. So yeah the lager louts in tweed thing rings true.
Couldn't imagine anything more boring than drinking Fosters out of plastic cups with a bunch of orange faced sluts with £10 in their purse.
Got a couple of bets on today. Will have a few more during the week but I'm really looking forward to Friday. Playing golf in the morning with 3 mates then we're all back to the pub to meet some more mates and my 2 lads for an afternoon watching the racing Oh and a few pints of guinness!!
I don't think I'd go along again, been 5 times now. It is ****ing packed, think they said about 60,000 people will be there today, and whilst a good laugh if there is a group of you I'd rather just go sit in a pub, watch it and bet on my phone.
Ch'tibello has form of staying on soft/heavy ground and he's 40/1 for the Champions Chase so I've had a couple of quid E/W on that. I've got a nice treble that I fancy too. Kalashnikov (w/o Getabird), Saint Calvados (w/o Footpad) and Faugheen (w/o Buveur D'Air). Fiver returns 130 odd. Sam Spinner wins the Stayers for sure. Currently 7/2 but will be backed in heavily on race day.
Plenty of no lose bets available on the first race I notice. I’ll pick an outsider on an e/w as I’ve not a clue about the horses, but a free punt and I’m in lol.
Just missed placing some on Coo Star Sivola and it ****ing wins. Forgot what time it is. Champion Hurdle next, going to go each way on Faugheen.
