    Although you have had your ups and downs, like all of us, you are absolutely amazing with the donkey races! How do you do it? Should follow you, but I love Cheltenham and if I can get just one or two winners there that'll do for me; don't expect to win, but the Festival is something else, really is. GL today, not that you need any! :smiley:

    This King's Palace turning into a massive English punt here isn't it? Will soon be challenging Briar Hill for favouritism by look of it. Massive gamble! Two unbeaten horses, both plenty of 'hype', someone going back 'tail between legs' here <laugh>

    Just took 5/1 with PP on Bobs Worth -special for a limited time so had to bite. Mullins to have at least one more winner today to clinch top trainer so Briar Hill for me too.

    The bookies will still be praying Kings Palace wins though Beefy - lots of doubles and trebles on Vautour / Faugheen / Briars Hill which could be very expensive for them

    The Triumph is a nightmare race. Had a couple of Euros e/w on the filly Adriana Des Mottes - she was fav to beat Abyssial the last day but got a little bit stuck in the mud. Hoping she will have come on for that and prefer the livelier ground today

    Cheltenham is for watching and appreciating picking a winner in a 20 runner flat race is hard , add sticks even harder.
    I'm still on small bets till the flat when the stakes change accordingly . The all weather is an important build up to the flat dust off the cobwebs from the break , and if watched you can see whos in good shape. Money wise it is not worth my stakes but knowledge is power as they say . Good luck though Mr Swan

    1:30 - Royal Irish Hussar and Tiger Roll
    2:05 - Minella Foru and Rainbow Peak
    2:40 - Massive lay on Briar Hill
    3:20 - No bet as yet but fancy Last Instalment, maybe just EW
    4:00 - Oscar Delta, Certain Flight and Tammys Hill
    4:40 - Don Poli, Vieux Lion Rouge and Royal Regatta
    5:15 - Raya Star and Ned Buntline

    I wouldn't normally back as many as 3 horses in the one race but seeing as it's the last day of the festival I'm going all out and anything that caught my eye was getting a few bob put on it.

    Horrible fall for Ruby. Wonder who'll take the ride on Briar's Hill in the Albert Bartlett if Ruby misses his other rides for the day?
