Ironically Wooly, I made a list earlier with two in each race and circled three horses tomorrow as my "bankers". It was those three!
If Superb Story is fancied in the County Hurdle then Beatabout The Bush must have very good claims at 8s in the big race...........at Fakenham. Finished 14 lengths behind Skelton's horse giving it 8lbs earlier in the season and is off a 16lb lower mark tomorrow when factoring in Gethins claim.
Two usually. In the County I am on three! I am up on the week so gone a bit mad tonight. Although its been a "nearly" meeting for me with lots of placed horses in the handicaps. My biggest two bets have been on Vroum Vroum Mag and today the Vautour/Limini double, sure Beefy will pee himself if he reads that! If BARTERS HILL wins tomorrow I am pretty sure I can kiss goodbye to one of my accounts!
Very poignantly put. I won't be surprised if Don Poli does win but to say "he only just does enough" against horses not even good enough to run in a Gold Cup vs against these contenders then his current price is mad. You're assuming there's loads left in the tank when, realistically, he's facing horses a minimum 10lb better (being kind) than what he's beaten.
Final arrows: Triumph - got my ante post on Gibralfaro and hoping he might nick a place. Not backing anything else but Apple's Jade is a big price ................. County - Great Field could be absolutely anything but I think he is a lot better than 147. Win bet. Have a free bet left so might go e/w Montbazon too. Albert Bartlett - €5 e/w West Approach at 100/1 Gold Cup - am on Don Poli ante post and will have a sentimental saver on Cue Card Foxhunters - may back On The Fringe depending on price and how I'm doing. Sneaky e/w on Victoria too, love to hear stick's rant if she wins Martin Pipe - the 2 I put up in the preview (Roadie Joe and Jetstream Jack) both got in so it would be rude not to back them Grand Annual - Lough Kent to round off a memorable week for Mr Henderson and Mrs Mould. BEST OF LUCK EVERYONE !!!!
I've placed a bit on Smad Place this afternoon out of a bit of sentiment as he's won me a fair chunk over the past year. Don't expect him to win, but is a lovely looking horse.
I've got a suspicion that STD wasn't on Zubayr first time out because he'd already decided to ride Connetable in the Triumph. Had a little at 14/1
Would you guys believe me if I said I'm waiting on ZUBAYR and CUE CARD for an 8 timer?! I have the first 6 legs up and have them all in trebles and upwards. I contacted Sky for a potential cash out but they aren't willing to offer one as the bet was struck on Monday of this week and counts as antepost?! Made plenty already but I have never been this close to landing a whale - I'm fraggled and I've been up since the early hours!!
I'm in the exact same position but with Superb + Cue Card, n a few with Aupcharlie. I've got about 7 accumalators all £1-£5 consisting mainly of sprinter, douvan, annie power, vroum vroum and thistlecrack with the ones above, and 2 with cause of causes in
Best of luck to the both of you Chelsea and Drever. Would round of an excellent week if Cue Card could win the gold cup and I don't just mean from a betting perspective.
Will stick with me old Cue Card in the big one. As I said before, doesn't owe me a sausage, starting off with that bumper win at Fontwell in 2010, and that extraordinary long-odds win NTO in the Champion Bumper. Thought of having a saver, but cannot figure-out which 'Don' to back! Just had a couple of modest bets so far, both horses tried their best but were not good enough as was their punter! Some great successes on the forum this Festival meeting, very well done fellahs, keep up the good work on the last day!
