1:20 - Envoi Allen

1:55 - The Bosses Oscar
Kansas City Chief

2:30 - Samcro
Melon


3:05 -Sire Du Berlais
Sam Spinner

3:40 - Farclas
Eamon An Cnoic

4:15 - Skyace

4:50 - Sizing At Midnight and Kilfilum Cross

1:20 - Still sick about this...
1:55 - Money back as I went E/W on TBO but thought KCC was unbelievably unlucky, I still think it would've won if Millie had stayed onboard. More sickened with this than Chacun and Envoi not winning...
2:30 - Samcro was shocking... Melon was as bad... Don't know what was up with them...
3:05 - Money back on SDB, Sam Spinner like I thought couldn't settle at the start and got covered up, he likes to see his hurdles and not be bunched in with other horses, would've preferred him to go ahead of a few more but probably would've been the same result... Backed Flooring Porter E/W when he drifted so happy here...
3:40 - Thought Farclas was unbelievably unlucky getting his front legs clipped by a bit of careless riding.. Might not have won as The Shunter seemed to have a lot left but would've made a more exciting finish. Eamon An Cnoic ran ok for a while but didn't last.
4:15 - Actually had to work so just saw blips of this race, backed the second E/W with another tiny bet too so nothing really of note for me here...
4:50 - Kilfilum Cross way too wide or else too far behind to try and make up for a place, no excuse whatsoever for SAM, some poor jumping but just nowhere near good enough..


I'll get sick when I think about my Envoi/KCC double and multiples and singles on KCC too... But that's jump racing for you! ;)

Flooring Porter got me out of a hole.

Not for the first time in my life am I thankful for porter!
 
What do we think Alaho ran to there fellas? The only horses you can use to rate him I think are the 2nd and 3rd. Fakir D. who was rated 162 and I think ran to that (we know he likes Cheltenham, finishing 2nd in last year's Arkle), same can be said of Tornado Flyer who ran a 3rd successive solid race at the festival and they both tie in well with Kalashnikov a few lengths back (159). You'd have to say the rest couldn't handle the pace and ran nowhere near their marks. I'd have Alaho 175P.

Timeform go 178P - now the highest rated chaser in training (until tomorrow maybe)

After 21 races, the only horses to come from off the pace to win have been Mount Ida and Black Tears as far as I can remember? 19 winners all either led, were up with the pace or were very close to the leaders before 3 jumps out..

In the 2 big races today it was very much a case of leading from start to finish...Allaho and Flooring Porter leading from start to finish. Very good performances..

Telmesomethinggirl came from well back too - was 10L off the pace coming down from the top of the hill <ok>
 
Ahh, I only saw snippets of that race, thought she was a lot closer :emoticon-0102-bigsm Absolutely romped home though!

Yep I missed it myself. My dad phoned me about half an hour ago and said "did you see Rachael's ride in the mares novices hurdle? Best ride I've ever seen" to which I replied "Dad, watch the last race" <laugh>

Okay it goes like this my brothers been doing his bets on my account because he’s going for a mortgage texting me all week doing my head it tbh €10 a day limit so today I’m going back to work leaving my phone in car 30 secs later I was gone when the text comes through treble kevin Blake’s picks itv very cheesy and unoriginal 5ew so I do it very quickly on app not sure I even hit right horses ..thought about if he won how happy but slightly sick I would be not been on especially after envoi Allen lost me a significant amount in a treble for me couple of hundred had 100 in account pretty much what I started week with. So I did it again 3ew needless to say the last two
