Phhheeewwww!!!!

Just got in and watched them back without knowing the results, got a bit carried away on some of the earlier races so Hurricane Fly totally saved the day. Nearly knocked my telly over cheering him on.

Quevega & Carole's Legacy topped it up for a small profit, but it was all mainly on the Hurricane that means i've got enough to 'play out' tomorrow.

Sona Sasta ew - Pipe plotted this I think.
Habbie Simpson ew - Too big a price, place chance
Time For Rupert - Jessie's Dream not proven stayer... Time For Rupert most solid form of all novice races
(...No Bet...) - Would go Big Zeb but no bet..
For Non Stop ew - Another good form.. well handicapped imo
Celtus ew - Henderson rated this one and was looking at triumph for this but swerved
Erict ew - If hendo's running him he means business

good luck

IMO this is how I think the race will pan out Overturn and/or Thousand Stars will set a decent pace from the off, coming to 2 out Binocular, Menorah and Hurricane Fly will be travelling best I think Menorah will get out paced on the turn for home an its going to be whoever pulls the gun first between Binocular and Hurricane Fly, I reckon Oscar Whisky will battle it out for 3rd with Peddlers Cross with both being good stayers, for me the outsiders which might place if it all clicks are Dunguib and Mille Chief they both have great speed but they need the jumping to be spot on too.

Wasn't far off.

Decent day I love Hurricane Fly

Tomorrow looks like a bit of a minefield.

Re: Cheltenham Festival 2011... : Tue Mar 15, 2011 10:33 pm  

Agreed Deano.

Don't think I'm gonna be staking much tomorrow. Time For Rupert looks the banker of the day, but he doesn't have an easy task. He is up against some very good horses. I would love to see Master Minded win his third CC, but he isn't the irresistable force he once was and will have a race on his hands, the ground may suit Big Zeb more as well.

Divine Rhapsody looks an interesting runner in the bumper, only ran once (last April) but 2nd, 3rd and 4th have all went on and won since. Never usually bother with bumper races so will probably be last.

Fred Winter: What A Charm 9/1 E/W

The Irish will be all over this one, very good on the flat supposed to of been messing about with it over hurdles, nice low weight and Townend up.

Time For Rupert & Master Minded - £20 double pays £337 with Paddy Power who are best price about both horses.

Very tempted to get on this as my only bet of the day, especially with the rest of the card looking difficult to call.

Also, Victor Chandler will refund losing bets if your horse places 2nd or 3rd in the Queen Mother, so may have a £20 saver on Big Zeb.
