Cheltenham Festival 2008 starts tomorrow!
- Thread starter el_dazza
- Start date
el dazza has taken a gamble on that one, and its a good price at 20/1. There are only 12 runners in this race, and you need to be looking at this bunch for the winners.
Kauto Star 10/11
Denman 2/1
afistfullofdollars 20/1
Exotic Dancer 9/1
Halcion Generladais 14/1
Although I have heard people getting excited over Neptune Collonges.
I am going for:
1. Kauto Star
2. Denman
3. afistfullofdollars
Is it worth betting on anyway of 100-1 + runners EW?
Honestly, not a chance, but with what has happened so far this week it could be a miracle. If you have to, and its a mad if, then the best bet would be Celestial Gold or Iron Man.
Not really but you never know, 1 of them may place. My wife's put £1 e/w on Contraband at 1000-1 because she liked the colour of the jockey's silksIs it worth betting on anyway of 100-1 + runners EW?
She did Exotic Dancer as well for a similar reason!Personally I've gone for Denman and backed Halcion Generladais e/w - glad I did him at the start of the week before he'd come in to 14s like he is now. afistfullofdollars did tempt me but decided against him.
There's a sweepstake at work and I picked Knowhere - at least not a complete outsider but can't see him getting involved with the leaders.

contraband is 250/1 now on LB
He was 1000/1 till about 10 minutes ago.
Good luck to all in this race, its going to be a classic if they all run to form. I have a lot of cash on Kauto so obvious where my bet is going, unless Halcion comes home, have a fair wad (freebie bet) on him too.
You'll get a result, and thats only if its good news.
Got no way of watching either - and no radio
