O/T Cheltenham Festival Thread : Sat Mar 07, 2009 12:36 pm  

As the greatest spectacle in jump racing is only around the corner, I thought this thread would enable us to discuss the main talking points about the 4 day festival running from tuesday to friday.

Therefore we can find the winners and beat the bookies

I will be adding my thoughts on the majority of the races nearer the time.

Good luck.

Who do you fancy acko ?

Kauto star is the fav 2/1 with laddies however no horse has ever regained the gold cup, Denman last years winner ran terribly last time out and is now best priced 8/1. Paul nicholls other horse neptune collognes placed in this event the last few years is a 7/1 shot however has been hit and miss and has bad jumping. If the ground is good then Star De Mohaison at 50's is a good price.

Fellow mods - I was asked if it was OK to have this as a separate thread.

Trust it's ok with you all!
