Thought I'd give my picks for the upcoming Cheltenham Festival next week. Don't have to take any notice of them. I know SR likes a flutter as well and I'm sure his opinion will be different. Here are the first 2 days. TUESDAY 13:30 - Un Atout (7/1) 14:05 - Overturn (11/4) 14:40 - Sire Collonges (20/1) 15:20 - Grandouet (8/1) 16:00 - Uncle Junior (8/1) 16:40 - Quevega (2/5) 17:15 - Carlito Brigante (8/1) WEDNESDAY 13:30 - Buddy Bolero (7/1) 14:05 - Pont Alexandre (6/4) 14:40 - Unioniste (7/2) 15:20 - SPRINTER SACRE (1/5) NAP 16:00 - Prospect Wells (12/1) 16:40 - Fatcatinthehat (10/1) 17:15 - Sgt Reckless (10/1) This is assuming they all run.
Stamford, you are aware of that Coral promotion, up to £20 they'll give evens on Sprinter Sacre. Toner D'Ouderaires, in whichever race Gordon Elliott runs it.
I'm still undecided on the gold cup yet as its quite an open race this year, silvianco is the one I'm leaning towards, someone said long run won't be racing but haven't seen it confirmed...
Got my bets on for tomorrow. Sire Collonges is a non-runner in the 14:40, so gone for Tour Des Champs (22/1) - first 5 places with Bet365.
Sorry to be a party pooper but the best advice I can give when it comes to gambling is, only lose what you can afford to lose. There are NO poor bookies out there. I'll look at the races but the hard earned cash is staying in the wallet.
I couldn't pick my nose Stamford. I have had quite a few punts in my day. I must be the worst gambler going. I learned the hard way to give it a miss.
Tongue in cheek, I'm going with an each way punt on Restless Harry @ 50/1 in the 5:15? Where's Eddie when we need him?
These ones Iv'e gone for, not much value there 13:30 - Champagne fever e/w 14:05 Simonsig – win 15:20 Grandouet
13:30 Puffin Billy e/w for me. Fancy a long priced winner for the Supreme Novices, been a few years since a short-priced or favourite won.
