    The Gold Cup market is mega exciting from
    A punting point of view.

    Presenting Percy - prep worries
    Native River - form this year and ground not heavy enough
    Clan - trip concerns

    Then you’re into 10/1 plus.

    Surely if ever there’s a race to have a swing at a massive price it’s this one. Who’s going to be run to place? Anibale Fly, Definitely Red and Elegant Escape. All place bets.

    Win bets on Whiskey Sour, each way on Pacha, win on Magic Saint and win on Dallas Des Pictons.

    The bookies are taking the piss in the first. 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the market all shortening multiple points without any change to the favs price. They’ll all shorten before the off again. What a life being a bookie at the Festival. Do whatever you want.

    Righteo chaps, that’s me done until next Cheltenham. Good to catch up briefly with a few of you. I’ll be back on if the ones I’ve put up all win today. Otherwise i’ll see you all next year. Enjoy the racing until then.

    Bryony Frost stole the front page of The Times despite surely the blind owner of Paisley Park being more politically correct even though he would not see it.

    I have to say that I have no real strong fancy in the Gold Cup with question marks against most of the principals, so I may shove a few groats on KEMBOY, simply for an interest at a decent price.

    Having not spent all my winnings on beer because I cannot drink Black Sheep Special Ale fast enough, I am going to put some of them onto a couple at reasonable prices:

    2:10 MONSIEUR LECOQ
    2:50 BIRCHDALE
    4:10 STAND UP AND FIGHT

    Check with @Reebok and @OddDog to see if they concur with my ones to avoid.

    Now when does the flat start?... <laugh>

    Sir Erec sitting there like he's waiting for a haircut, don't see it as an issue at all

  10. Managed to get this afternoon off so had my only bet of the week:
    2-50 Birchdale

    Good luck everyone.

    You could tell in the commentary that he didn't really give it his usual real gusto...

    So sad, I thought Sir Erec could of been a real top drawer hurdler over the next few years too.
    Looked to be the same leg as the lost shoe and maybe bruised foot, any coincidence?

    Heartbreaking and a real downer on the festival.
    It was the same leg that was being respond but surely that's just coincidence. Was it all so the stone bruise leg? Who knows ....
