chrisobee Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 Still a few weeks away but already plenty of interest and lots of free sites to check out. Since horse racing tips have died a death maybe this might generate some interest and maybe a 4 day tipping challenge. Any thoughts, ideas, ante-post fancies ? A few good sites/articles : http://www.attheraces.com/cheltenham/index.aspx?ref=rhspromo http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/racing/article-1359213/Paul-Nicholls-guide-runners-Cheltenham-Festival.html http://www.cheltenham.co.uk/ http://www.cheltenham-festival.co.uk/cheltenham-free-bets.php?src=yahoo&kywd=cheltenham+generic2009&OVRAW=Cheltenham%20Festival&OVKEY=cheltenham%20festival&OVMTC=standard&OVADID=6727138031&OVKWID=46179059031&OVCAMPGID=328508531&OVADGRPID=4573852419

benjii Posted 28 February, 2011 Posted 28 February, 2011 I'll be there on Gold Cup day. I have no idea who is going to win that one though! Very open.
chrisobee Posted 28 February, 2011 Author Posted 28 February, 2011 I'll be there on Gold Cup day. I have no idea who is going to win that one though! Very open. Finding the winner of any race will be hard. At present if I had to name one for the Gold Cup it would be Pandorama. Reported to be working well and has been supported on Betfair. http://www.attheraces.com/cheltenham/article.aspx?hlid=514876&lid=18+mar+2011+-+15:20+-+gold+cup&raceid=302640&title=Pandorama+delights+Meade+in+spin&ref=Race+-+Cheltenham+-+18+Mar+2011+-+15:20+-+Gold+Cup&nav=&sub=&day=Mon

Out of a group of about 8 of us we had no more than two or three wins all day. Cheers for the tip!
dickyhale Posted 28 February, 2011 Posted 28 February, 2011 Got the 17th and 18th off this year (booked days off inadvance) will bet a tenner a race on them days and watch it live on TV ........Last year done my b----ks in

chrisobee Posted 28 February, 2011 Author Posted 28 February, 2011 I think most of the forum went bust on Day 1 TBH I skimmed through the thread for Day 1, shocking. This is the final day, I have not read it again and not sure I want to !

labibs Posted 1 March, 2011 Posted 1 March, 2011 Good work on getting a thread set up Chris. I agree we all need a better performance than last year! I was on French Opera in the last, to see him pipped by Pigeon Island on the line was sickening and just summed up the whole week for me! I will be there with benjii on the Friday, but will be following the races all week. I see Paddy Power are giving a refund on all losing bets if cue card wins the Supreme Novices. That's a decent offer if you fancy one of the other horses in the race but are a little frightened by Cue Card's runs this season (much like I am with Spirit Son)
RedArmy Posted 1 March, 2011 Posted 1 March, 2011 It'll be good to see Ruby back. I don't think I'm gonna bother spending too much this year, probably a patent every day and then a bit more on the big races. Looking forward to what Peddlers Cross does in the CH. Midnight Chase e/w in the Gold Cup too, that horse loves Cheltenham.

According to MetCheck not a drop of rain predicted for Cheltenham this coming week. It must be on the soft side of good there at the moment.
notnowcato Posted 1 March, 2011 Posted 1 March, 2011 For a bit of fun, those interested should put up a selection of a horse they intend to back at the Festival. My selection would have to be Ghizao in the Arkle. Giddy up!

My selection would have to be Ghizao in the Arkle. Giddy up! I suggest you put up a selection for EACH race and then that will be one less to consider, just like the good old days PS: For any newbies Cato is the worst tipster ever on this forum, really, he is that bad

saint_stevo Posted 3 March, 2011 Posted 3 March, 2011 I am going on Ladies Day this year. Hoping for winners and a blowy. I will also be betting heavily on the other days, only working the first day of the festival and off the rest so probably be brassic by that weekend......

I'm the real winner here.
chrisobee Posted 3 March, 2011 Author Posted 3 March, 2011 FYI- I had £10ew on Punjabi @ 25's. I'm the real winner here. Yes, I was going to mention that but was in such a state of shock was unable to do so Notably in 2009 my wonderful threads and input were missing, the response on here that year was very poor, oh dear oh dear Hopefully ( or maybe not) will be able to drag Frankie back in time for the festival ! I assume the kipper man is forever banned

saint_stevo Posted 3 March, 2011 Posted 3 March, 2011 My early picks- Sprinter Sacre/Spirit Son- Festival Opener Finians Rainbow- Arkle Day 1 Minella Class- Day 2 Neptune Grandouet- JCB Day 4 Binocular- Champion Hurdle, Khyber Kim e/w
bungle Posted 3 March, 2011 Posted 3 March, 2011 Looking forward to the inevitable losing of money. Need to start paying attention to who is running in each race, but quite like Aighteenthirtythree, which I think is in the RSA.
saint_stevo Posted 3 March, 2011 Posted 3 March, 2011 ahh bungle old chap. just need the bloke with the Iain Dowie avatar and REDARMY and we will be back to the frequent 'losers' from last year Oh and Hatch
notnowcato Posted 3 March, 2011 Posted 3 March, 2011 FYI- I had £10ew on Punjabi @ 25's. I'm the real winner here. Are you sure Steve?? Are you sure it was a tenner? Eh Steve? You sure about that, Steve? Anyway, very happy memories.

Frankie could be back, has not posted ever on Cheltenham to my knowledge. Hatch might find the lure of once more showing his tipping prowess too hard to resist. Personally though purely for extra entertainment we need the kipper man to be given a 4 day amnesty.
chrisobee Posted 3 March, 2011 Author Posted 3 March, 2011 Are you sure Steve?? Are you sure it was a tenner? Eh Steve? You sure about that, Steve? Anyway, very happy memories. 10p more likely but it does not change the price
chrisobee Posted 3 March, 2011 Author Posted 3 March, 2011 FYI- my name aint Steve Yep,you have mentioned that more than once, in fact about a thousand times TBH. No one listens.
saint_stevo Posted 3 March, 2011 Posted 3 March, 2011 As long as they listen to my Cheltenham tips that is the main thing OLD CHAP

labibs Posted 7 March, 2011 Posted 7 March, 2011 I've been given a tip of Sparky May in the Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham. Anyone know anything about this horse? Is it worth a punt? Quevega will be the massive, massive favourite here and if she turns up on top form, she'll win. Sparky May is unbeaten this season and has beaten both Carole's legacy and L'accordioniste already this season. At decent odds she'd definitely be worth a punt.
saint_stevo Posted 7 March, 2011 Posted 7 March, 2011 I also had the Sparky May tip......Winchester connections i believe? Struggling to look past Quevega though
