    Just wanted to wish everyone (including myself) a bit of luck.

    Long time viewer first time poster.

    Hurricane Fly, Big Bucks, Quevega and Sizing Europe.

    All 4 in gets 200 off 20 quid. Sizing is my worry but hey, you gotta go for it right?

    Anyone got any fancies for the Supreme Novices tomorrow? I took Darlan at 14's but I certainly wouldn't have backed it at 9/2!

    Yeah why not.

    I'll have a look now.

    Do we think anything can beat Al Ferof or Sprinter Sacre tomorrow? I'm so tempted to lump on Al Ferof because of the Paddy Power special that means if SS loses all singles are refunded.

    Hello lads.

    Will be burning the old midnight oil into the small hours.

    Great card with the G1's but,for me,the 5.15 is an absolutely cracking h'cap.

    Hope my luck is better than my golf bet yesterday.I backed Keegan Bradley,as advised on here on Thursday <laugh>,at 40/1.He was trading at 4/11 after 8 eight holes but imploded and finished only eighth <yikes>.

    I was at a funeral today,I love them tbh,and picked up some info from the owners of the following.

    Waffle has progressed really well over the Winter and will win the Cammidge trophy at Donny.Also Pearl Ice has been bought by them and is with David Barron,although still listed as being with SMP and Pearl Bloodstock.He is going nicely and is expected to be much better than his mark of 89.New connections paid 90,000 for him at N'market.He too is due to reappear at the Lincoln meeting in a h'cap.

    Anyone going tomorrow have a great time and make some cash <ok>

    How many people have Tetlami, Sprinter Sacre, Quantitativeeasing, Hurricane Fly and Quevega in accumulator bets for tomorrow?

    I've backed Tetlami in the Supreme Novices - think he's got the best chance of Nicky Henderson's runners in the race. Of the other horses trained in England, Montbazon might reverse form with Colour Squadron but both have excellent form.

    PlacePot

    Cinders and Ashes
    Sprinter Sacre (I know but I'm taking it)
    Mount Oscar
    Binocular
    Garde Champetre
    Quevega (again I'm taking it)
    Hunt Ball

    and a double KGL (Without Quevega) and Sprinter Sacre 10 to win 95.

    And that's my betting for tomorrow

    Good luck to all tomorrow. I usually go on the Weds but circumstances dictate its Tuesday this year and what a cracking opening day it promises to be. With 2 of my 3 ante post vouchers not getting a run it's all about the Hurricane for me tomorrow. I went to Punchestown last year and his performance that day was just awesome. Can't lose.......can it!
    So a Fly win will make my day. Others of interest all ew and some combination are Tetlami, Fruity O'Rooney, Gone to Lunch, and an old fav in the last Vino Griego.

    Right thats me done for the night now... Placed all my bets as i have a busy morning ahead... Then i shall settle down with a few mates and watch the story of day one of the Festival unfold infront of us...

    Good luck to all who will be playing, though thats prob all of us really, and lets hope that we can see some great racing and some bookie bashing at the same time... Hope its not a total favs day, something i think stick was hinting at with his comment earlier, and may the 2012 Cheltenham Festival live up to its top billing...

    Good luck and stay lucky...<cheers>

So many tomorrow. trifolium, simenon place, cue card with pp, god knows, oscars well without, uncle junior and tally em up, ogs and tempest river without, and vino griego and nass's battle group for the forecast to slaughter the old enemy in the last!

    In all honesty, I really want to see past the short priced favourites tomorrow but I really really can't! I feel a treble coming....

    Other than the obvious, Hunt Ball is my pick of the rest, hoping for big things (and a little pay packet)

    Good luck to you all!!

    Have done a few Yankees today selections are
    Trifolium / tetlami
    Mossley/fruity o'Rooney
    Sizing Australia/ jacks island
    Bless the wings / ackertac
    Probably get a place double in each lol
    Will have single bets on same horses main fancys are 1st quoted with the savers after along with Oscar wells e/w small stakes , kentford grey lady e/w don't expect either to win but just a small bet for interest , have a decent antipost bet treble on HF,QU and SS when they were all slightly odds against bout 6 weeks ago so don't plan on getting involved much in these races, ones bound to let me down tho as this is Cheltenham after all !!

    Morning ladies

    Good morning. Good morning. In less than 5 hours, horse racing fans from here will join others from around the world, and you will be launching the largest betting battle in the history of mankind. Mankind, that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences any more. We will be united in our common interest. Perhaps it's fate that today is the 13th of March, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist&#65533;and should we win the day, the 13th of March will no longer be known as an a normal day, but as the day when the world declared in one voice, 'We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on, we're going to survive.' Today we celebrate The 1st day of the cheltenham festival!"

    Sprinter Sacre is the hotpot to get beaten for me. The Fly will have too much for Binocular and the rest and Quevega, although facing a big field, should have too much class and speed for her rivals again. The Arkle, despite being a 6 runner race, is facinating. Cue Card expected to go on, will Sprinter Sacre settle or will he pull his way to the front again? Will these 2 set it up for a Ruby Walsh special, flying up the hill on Al Ferof? Will Menorah finally put in a good round of jumping and be in the mix? Will the Irish surprise us all?

    Is anyone else dreading Friday evening withdrawal symptoms? <laugh>

    I hope this fog hangs around. Every little bit of moisture will help Zaidpour run into the first 4.
