2 wins and 2 places yesterday (Sizing Europe & Captain Cee Bee and Carlitto Brigante & Bothy) meant i was a few quid up yesterday........about £10 dow for the festival thus far.

[bungle]

1.30 Mr Cracker e/w

2.05 Rivage D’or e/w

3.40 Big Buck’s

4.00 Hollo Ladies

4.40 Galant Nuit

[SNSUN]

2:05 Duke of Lucca or Alfie Spinner e/w, I'm undecided as of yet. Mike make a last minute judgement call based on odds.

 

2:40 Voy por Ustedes e/w and/or Poquelin to win.

 

Undecided if I'll bet on the others, I'm taking it easy after an expensive two days...

[SNSUN]

Big bucks is evens for the 3:40, so an each way call in that race would be more sensible. Any ideas?

2.40 Poquelin

3.20 Grands Crus

After a terrible week with only one winner on the first day, I'm pinning all my hopes on Kauto Star in the Gold Cup. Every last penny I had in my Ladbrokes account is on this horse now, he may be older but I've always admired him, a horse people will talk about long after he retires.

 

Go on Kauto, and Ruby!

[Rusaldo]

Pandorama in the Gold Cup. My last bet of the festival, come on!

[Thedelldays]

a mate reckons Long Run

[Hatch]

This has the potential to be one of the best Gold Cups ever.

 

I've done a sneaky e/w on Kempes as well.

[saint_stevo]

1:30- Zarkander/Grandouet (got both at 8/1)

2:05- Ski Sunday

2:40- Kilcrea Kim

3:20- Pandorama

4:00- Gone to Lunch

4:40- Rose of the Moon

5:15- Pigeon Island

Your mate was right was tipped on here before

[Thedelldays]

Yea. He had £100 to win at 7-1.

I was going to lob £50 on it but bottled it lol

His Dad owns the horse so the 500K prize money will do him alright.

[GenevaSaint]

oooo, on a whim I backed Long Run to win and Denman E/W, wish I put some more on now :-) Easy in hindsight.

[Pancake]

Spur of the moment ew on Denman paid off again.

[notnowcato]

3 2nds today, including Denman e/w, one of those days. On Anquetta in the last.

[chrisobee]

Doing well in the Telegraph league i see.

 

53rd .

 

Was I !? That was as good as it got ! Thanks entirely to Stevo I spent the last 3 days watching from my sick bed, bringing his man flu on here

That is surely the ONLY thing I will ever get from him except never ending earache;)

[saint_stevo]

Depending on who u sleep with around Southampton, u could also catch a dose
