Bit late I know but I hardly come here any more!

Half an hour to go until the Cheltenham roar goes up and today we see my banker of the week Hurricane Fly running in the champion hurdle, although 4/6 is a tad short for me.

Post your bets and tips here :)

1.30 - Tetlami (12/1)
2.05 - Al Ferof (3/1)
2.40 - Baile Anrai (12/1)
3.20 - Hurricane Fly (4/5)
4.00 - Sizing Australia (9/2)
4.40 - Swincombe Flame (14/1)
5.15 - Going Wrong (10/1)

I was just about to start a thread myself.

Here goes:

1.30 - Galileo's Choice WIN/Prospect Wells EW
2.05 - Cue Card (Sprinter Sacre should win really)
2.40 - Quantitativeeasing WIN/Mount Oscar EW
3.20 - Rock On Ruby EW/Overturn EW
4.00 - Scotsirish WIN/Dancing Tornado EW
4.40 - Shop Dj EW/Cloudy Spirit EW
5.15 - Carrickboy EW/Educated Evans EW

It's the one week of the racing year where I don't really mind losing. Great sport. Won't complain if all 3 'shorties' get beat today though! :)
 
I had Hurricane Fly, Sizing Europe and Big Bucks in an acca with McIlroy to win the golf at the weekend but he came 3rd. Would've been happy starting with a 7/1 winner!
 
My placepot

13-30 - don't fancy much in this but Cinders & Ashes if I was pushed.
14-05 - Sprinter Sacre - can't see past it (but no value)
14-40 - Quantativeasing for me in this
15-20 - Hurricane Fly (but no value)
16-00 - Scotsirish
16-40 - Quevega -odds on and can't see it getting beaten

However at least one of the Sprinter, Hurricane and Quevega will end up getting beaten.

E/w double on Quantativeasing and Carrickboy in the last.
 
Great run from Sprinter Sacre, I opposed it with Al Ferof who made a bad mistake but I don't think would have won anyway.

Lucky 15 can still return some value:

2.05 - Sous Les Cieux/Secret Edge EW
2.40 - Grands Crus/Bobs Worth EW
3.20 - Sizing Europe/Gauvain EW
4.00 - Abergavenny EW/Featherbed Lane EW/Bally Legend EW

5.15 - Moscow Mannon/Clonbanan Lad EW

Also done the Grands Crus/Sizing Europe double and Benefficient EW in the 2.05.

Too many really. :eek:

Good luck.
 
Place pot

13-30 - Allee Garde (but I do like HArry the viking aswell)
14-05 - Simonsig
14-40 - Grand Crus
15-20 - Sizing Europe
16-00 - Balgarry
16-40 - Ulck du Lin


17-15 - like the look of New years eve.

Going for a treble outside the place pot on the 2 favourites (grand cru and sizing europe) and will put new years eve in as well (17-15 race). Will do the doubles in there as well

Yes, same as the Champion Hurdle yesterday. :(

Because I put my Teaforthree bet on with Bet365, I now get a free bet on the next C4 race to the same stake as I had on Teaforthree. I've gone for Make Your Mark to have some back up for Sous Les Cieux.

Could do with Simonsig flopping here. Sorry to anyone who's backed it.
