CHELTENHAM 2010 IS HERE AT LAST….O/T

[TF_MICK THE BOOKIE]

~shh ~shh ~shh ~shh.As the information from home and Ireland is filtering through,i was wondering if any of you have any 3 star naps for the oncoming festival.
Personally i am just waiting for the weights to be confirmed,and the money back “run or not” Ante post market,before i bet in ernest.Rest assured i will be giving you my selections in the very near future for those who are interested,and hope to give you all some help in finding the winners at this years prestige meeting.
There are some very good judges of horse flesh on this site,and i know they will all do their very best to put the “folding stuff” into your pockets.
BRING IT ON AND THE BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE. ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap

[glen worthingtonParticipant]

Mick are we having a little naps and points thing like last year ?
be a bit of fun if everybody posts on here say by 11 ish on the morning.Points equate to sp’s and places ie 20/1 finishes 3rd in handicap you get a quater of the odds 5/1 = 5 points.Easy enough for everybody to work out their own points ?

[TF_Dodge]

Nice one Mick ~clap ~clap

The Cheltenham Fstival certainly does it for me lol …… simply awesome stuff ~clap ~clap

I have managed to get Cheltenham week off work …. cant wait !

Dunguib absolutely destroyed the NH Flat opposition at the festival last year …… think he is first up in the triumph hurdle ?

Surely Paul Nicholls / Ruby Walsh are the team to be on all Festival ?

~clap ~clap

[TF_kev34]

The triumph hurdle is for 4yr olds and dunguib is a 7 yr old so he won`t be eligible for that race, his main aim has always been the Supreme Novice hurdle…..

Rite of passage is my E/W horse in whatever race he runs which will probably be against Dunguib….

Im there on Tuesday and can`t wait to fill my boots with Guinness.

Have to agree nicholls/walsh gonna be hard to beat….

[TF_Dodge]

Yepp, Dunguib Supreme Novices Hurdle ~clap

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

Dunguib – banker of meeting

Rite Of Passage

Big Buck’s

I see it as a good festival for favourite backers unless it comes up soft.

[TF_Dodge]

Good shout Geeps.

[TF_Dodge]

BTTT

NOT LONG NOW ~clap ~clap ~clap lol

[TF_Snooty Fox]

Kev – same bet as last year ~think

[TF_Katarino]

See my post on the other thread Mick.

Palypso de Creek is a very big price in the William Hill considering his profile and run against Our vic at Haydock and Voler la Vedette is my Tuesday nap.

I’ll post anything interesting I hear at the Monday night Plough Inn preview up by Jonjo’s.

[TF_Dodge]

1986 Gold cup(best finishes ever)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC9dRA15F9s&NR=1

Great memories..

[TF_Katarino]

Terrible loss but we were left with this memory.Best Ever Novice

[TF_caster robParticipant]

Thanks, I hadn’t looked closely at the hurdle flight in the picture.

“1986 Gold cup(best finishes ever)”

Unless you’d backed Wayward Lad and weren’t too enamoured of the mare’s allowance!

[TF_kev34]

Golden cygnet theres a blast from the past……

Think he would have beat sea pigeon/night nurse that day quite easily…..

[TF_caster robParticipant]

Good call on Golden Cygnet Roy.

Started me off thinking about some of the greats that were lost early.

One Man and Bright Highway spring to mind.

[TF_Katarino]

The Irish boys say Eddie O’Grady still says he was ‘probably’ the best he ever had. We’ll never know but I’m with you, he looked to be running over Sea Pigeon when he came down. I try not to watch that one too often though.

[TF_caster robParticipant]

Remember being there when Sea Pigeon finally beat Monksfield and Silver Buck beat Bregawn in the Cup. I think night nurse was favourite that day.

[TF_Katarino]

Would he have beaten Monksfield over the old course though? He always struck me as a Wayward Lad, he stayed so far and no further to the yard. Shorten the course by 200yds and he got home, leave it as it was and he’d get ground down in last 100 yds.

[TF_caster robParticipant]

Probably right about Pigeon, tended to come up a touch short.

Not so sure about WLad, I remember Francome saying, after winning the King George I think, that all he did was stay and they’d been riding him for a turn of foot. Nevertheless, one of the best jumpers I’ve ever seen.

Watching some of the greats from the past really makes the old flesh tingle I must say.

[TF_kev34]

Of all the horses that have died on the course the one that i remember most as a young lad was Alverton in the National…..I had my first bet on him in the Gold cup when he beat Tied cottage(he fell)….

I was 12 lol

[TF_caster robParticipant]

I remeber jonjo rode Alverton and attracted a bit of controversy at the time.

I was at Cheltenham when Tied Cottage won his Gold Cup in a snow-storm but lost it months later on some technicallity (blood test?).

[TF_Katarino]

The snow storm was the Alverton year Rob, Tied Cottage ‘won’ it in bright sunshine. Lost it due to failed drug sample traced to contaminated feed (I know, that old excuse… but probably true in that case)

[TF_kev34]

Fav jockey was steve smith eccles……..

He was a rogue lol,and See you then was my favourite horse at the time,except when he got beat at Aintree….

Im sure a woman jockey beat him as well lol

[TF_caster robParticipant]

You’ve obviously heard the tale of Smith-Eccles being locked out of his hotel and kipping in the back of his car at Aintree.

The story goes he woke up as some scally was making off with it along the mway and scared the crap out of him.

Sounds about right.

[TF_Dodge]

Yepp One Man ~clap ~clap ~clap broke my heart when died in his prime.

Martin Pipes Carvills Hill another superstar cutdown in his prime ….. badly injured when Mrs Pitman infamously had one of her horses stop him jumping …… ~naughty ~naughty

Alderbrook another superstar ( think he was another grey) ….. won a few bob on him yonks ago lol

[TF_kev34]

Yes i read his book lol,he also went dressed up as a woman to a ladies jockey convention for a laugh and got in……

Oh yes, getting mixed-up now.

I should never have followed those Youtube links, I’ll never get to bed.

Reminds me that Killiney was another unfortunate loss.

I think Mrs. P just put a front-runner up against CH to stop him dominating the race.

One man he cost me a few quid not getting home in the gold cup but he was a good horse….

[TF_Katarino]

There are some worse Ecky stories than that but can’t post them here 😉

Used to drink with him after racing in the dingy bar that was behind Newburys’ old stand. Always good company and knew that Cheltenham is one of the few courses where going round the inner isn’t the best option. They hit that level ground at the top of the hill on the far side, at least 2 of the leaders will start to struggle and next thing everyone on the inner is being carted backwards. Ecky NEVER went round inner in Cheltenham hurdles.

[TF_caster robParticipant]

Good job this sodding government can’t tax our memories.

Enjoyed the reminiscing.

Good night and good luck.

[TF_Dodge]

One of THE best jumpers ever to grace a race course One Man …. fantastic to watch unfotunately he ran out of petrol very quickly ….. Queen Mother Chase and 2 mile around aintree phenominal horse ~clap ~clap

[TF_Katarino]

*Blush*

Dodge, the year One Man won his King George run at Sandown, I was there. What most people saw was him sweeping clear and annihalating his field, what I saw was a horse stopping like he’d been shot in the final 100yds. Myself and another racing pal agreed he wouldn’t get Gold Cup trip and laid One Man to a 4 figure sum to aquantances who thought he was a certainty. 3 out we were sweating cobs but then Imperial Call swept clear and the rest is history. Good Week 😉

[TF_Dodge]

Nice one Katarino you shrewdy lol ….

Gordon Richards passed away suddenly not too long after One Mans demise ….. real gentleman and top top trainer.

Could reminisce all night but sadly time for bed lol

Nce one ~clap

[TF_Katarino]

Thanks to you lot I’ve spent a magic few hours on youtube….. but it just struck me that as lovers of your racing you could do worse than get hold of a copy of Jamie Reids book, “Days Like These”. Probably the best ever book by a non professional racing fanatic. It’s a reflection of how I came to love it so much, albeit a few years behind him, but the whole story of going to 70’s Grammar schools and being attracted to the ‘sin’ of gambling is beautifully captured along with the attraction of the Festival.

He does slightly gloss over a few facts, presumably to protect the guilty. The attempted stag do Haydock betting coup with Mel Smith was actually foiled by a Nicholson not Pipe trained runner. Also, there is a bit more to the 1987 blizzard Gold Cup Arkle Bar strippers story than he lets on but aside from minor gripes if you can get a copy it’s a fabulous read, enjoy!

[TF_MICK THE BOOKIE]

Steve Smith Eccles…..Will never forget the night we had a late evening meal at the Victoria Casino on the Edgeware road.My mate and i sat with Ecky and the Legendry Barney Curly plotting a coup on a “Nag” that was an out and out dodge,but had a little talent.
The night was brilliant,and ended in a sleazy hotel room with a couple of “women off the the night”….Minus the “Monk” of course….lol. ~shh ~shh ~shh ~shh

[TF_Dodge]

Big gamble taking place on David Pipes (David Johnson) “The Package” for tuesdays William Hill Trophy.

Been backed from 14/1 to 11/2 fav ~think ~think

[TF_herbie]

if bookie tips it ~sick it will still be running the following tuesday dodge~clap ~clap

[TF_dingdong]

the year was 1992
i was working as porter at st ebbas hospital,
£100 at 40/1 cool ground
adrian magurie
i had to borrow the money from my boss

[TF_Katarino]

Palypso de Creek is now running on Thursday and shouldn’t be ignored in your betting.~shh

Check out the Hurdle rating against what he ran against Our Vic over fences at Haydock…….

[TF_caster robParticipant]

Stop it Roy.

I’ve been trying to convince myself that Khyber Kim is value in the Champion and I’m even romanticising about Whaley-Cohen’s Long Run in the RSA, a race I don’t like to bet on.

Gonna be a long week!

[TF_Katarino]

sorry Rob but it get’s me that way 😉 It took me a long time to start spotting the obvious “non obvious” winners (Old Bridge and Ninetieth Minute for example).

Long Run will win if it stands up, much as I hate ‘rich kid’ wanabee jockeys Sam is ok.

Khyber Kim is a funny one (I always thought he was a bit of a dog) but have a look at the Boxing Day times. Go Native and Kauto ran -9 seconds standard, look at the rest of the races, it’s good form.

[London Wasp]

I have to say I’m a devotee of the ‘Flat’ but in saying that I reckon you must be dead if this festival doesn’t create some kind of enthusiasm.

13:30 At odds-on Dunguid is passed over (not a fluent jumper etc) Oscar Whisky.

14:05 Sports Line.

14:40 Ogee.

15:20 Zaynar although I have been quite taken with Khyber Kim this season since leaving Nickys’ yard and he goes well fresh!

Lets face it you only have to find one or two at this meeting and you are quids in!…….. if only it were that simple.
Enjoy and to those having a serious punt good luck.

[TF_Katarino]

Been up the Plough tonight and also been chatting to someone who went to another preview couple of weeks ago.

All the jockeys rate Dunguib a cert.

Ground had dried in Somersbys favour but he may need further.

The Package looks a good thing in the william hill.

No one has any real clue in the Champion Hurdle, take your pick.

Voler la Vedette has been backed off boards in last and should go in.

Rite of Passage is very short for Wednesday and Carberry said leave it. The one they all seem to rate is Peddlers Cross.

Carberry again on the bumper: Elegant Concorde is a light flat bred type horse and they rarely win it. Opinion of the Irish contacts is it’s between Drumbaloo, Shot from the Hip and Hidden Universe (Welds 2nd string). Follow the money on the day.

Finally, Warren Marston had been talking to Milton Harris who buys a lot of Nicholls rejects. He asked Nicholls for his absolute banker of the meeting and the response was……. Poquelin

For myself I’ll say again I think Palypso de Creek has a bit in hand in the Pertemps. Dangers are Ainama (blatant non tryer so far this season), Buena Vista (same)

Clear as mud as usual but hope this is some help. Enjoy!

[tunnel topper]

my nags for today are:

spring jim 1.30
i’m delilah 2.05

2.40-Charecter Building
3.20-Zaynar
4.00-L’ami
4.40-Easter Legend

[TF_MICK THE BOOKIE]

Only one bet for me today,although Dunguib is a certainty in the first race,but it is far to short a price for me to invest on it.

3/20…..ZAYNAR…Disregard his last run(ground and not fully fit).I have backed him at very good odds.
BE LUCKY ALL AND HAVE A GREAT FIRST DAY….MTB.

[TF_toplights]

Back from Alpa Centuri then Mick?~think ~think

[TF_Mike Herrington]

backed:

1-30 Blackstairmountain 10/1
2-05 Riverside Theatre 7/1
2-40 Theatrical Moment 11/1
3-20 Punjabi 6/1

£5 win each horse and a quid e.w. acc.

Is there any live streaming?

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

Backing two horses.

Dunguib in the first, and Somersby EW in the second.

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

What kind of ride was that???

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

ooooohhhh. Just out-paced on the turn.

Story of my life, third and second….

[TF_Paddy]

Unlucky there Geeps old son!!!
Dickie bird tells me Khyber Kim for the 3.20?

[TF_Dodge]

P!ss poor can only describe the performance of the jockey on Dunguib ~naughty

Just had a proper double bet thwarted by a nostril ….. Sizing Europe 6/1 and The Package 6/1 ~sick oh well !

[TF_welshmagic]

Guess there’s no such thing as a cert then…
I never bet on racing but put £25 on the ‘cert’ Dunguib….lesson learned….mugs game!

[TF_bremesParticipant]

Well i studied the form for 60mins & plumped for one bet EW on casey jones in the 2.40,it got shot~sick,whilst the Mrs picked 2 Chief Dan George(her late fathers name)& Amber Brook(grandaughters middle name) in the 4.40,Chief dan Goerge won at 33/1,shes had a ew crossbet n double~think lol.

[TF_Mike Herrington]

oh well, bookies are laffing at me..queueing up to take my hard earned. I think that they would even offer longer odds, cos whatever I back loses.

That’s one days match fees and brekkie and petrol down the swanny.

everyone of my horses had 4 legs, only problem was….3 of them were broke.

Picked Henderson, McCoy, Walsh, Meade…all in the wrong freakin’ order. hahahaha

MUGS GAME…!!!!!

but I will have another go tomorrow.

[TF_Paddy]

That will do for me so far – Khyber Kim 2nd at £20 quid each way.
Got another £20 each way on Paddy The Plasterer tomorrow with a sneaky double on.

[TF_Dodge]

QUEVEGA GET IN !!! Romped home …. took 2/1 this morning ~clap ~clap ~clap

Good day in the end but almost a fantastic one bar a flamin nostril !

4.40 BOTHY

Dont thank me yet lads lol

[TF_MICK THE BOOKIE]

Two bets for me tomoz lads.
First…2/05…GHIZAO…This horse was bred for the flat and has a bit of class imo.He likes Cheltenham and although he has won on the soft,i think he will relish the better ground.He travels well in his races,and the booking of T.J.MURPHY is ideal for this race.I expect him to stay on up the hill,and his flat speed will carry him home.I have had a substantial bet on him at massive prices,and i think he will be around 20/1 tomoz…..Back it e/way.~shh ~shh ~shh ~shh.

Secondly….4/00…LAKE LEGEND….A topical tip lads,as i am a legend on the lakes…..lol.
But i do fancy it strongly,and will be having a fairly big bet on it…. ~think ~think .
BEST OF LUCK….MTB.

[TF_One fish]

Not a winner today, never mind there’s 3 days left.I think I remember johnson saying on raglan road was the best horse in his yard.Think he may have had problems but could be worth an e/w.

[TF_drawbag1967]

Punchestowns tomorrow get on early it WILL start 15/8 favourite, public will dodge Long Run because of the jockey booking.

[TF_kev34]

Just got in from cheltenham,what a great day loads of ale and lots of 3 card brag………

Done £150 on dunguib

Had £50 e/w ogee 11/1 paid £160

Had £160 at 15/8 quevaga in last £300

So yes im happy,menorah won the 1st race fair and square dunguib just not good enough,he clouted the 5th from home and was never gonna win….

Quevega and ruby where awesome in the last ~clap ~clap ~clap

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

Okay well thanks to a bit of laying i managed to finish three points up.

In terms of backing, today as you know I like Rite of Passage each way.

Okay his bumper form may have taken a bit of a knock with Dunguib getting beat, but I still think that was given a poor ride and should and would have won if he’d been put in there. Don’t think the jockey gave him a chance of winning.

I also like Masterminded who appears to be back to his best. If he is, he’ll win, again.

[TF_MICK THE BOOKIE]

Congrats Kev,your the guvnor.
Just to let you know,the 2 horses i backed yesterday(didnt post because i thought i would jinx them)both finished second,so nothing changes…….lol.
One horse today,and if that doesnt win i will eat my lap-top……Anyone got any Mayonaise…lol…BE LUCKY…MTB.

[TF_Katarino]

Everyone I know down there, the mob I go with, the Irish lads I meet every year and the gang in the pub ALL did their proverbials, never known one like it. I did manage 1 winner but for the most part it was 4 days of head scratching and blank looks. Roll on next year :-).

Comic Highlight of the week was Michael O’Leary collecting his trophy for Weapons Amnestys’ win. Just as he was handed it a wag in the crowd shouted, “Charge him a pound for picking it up”. The place collapsed and O’Leary himself laughed but he didn’t like it….

[TF_MICK THE BOOKIE]

Like everyone else i did mine bigtime.
I did however back a winner yesterday….BABY RUN….But i did think for one ghastly second it was going to get caught on the line as it stopped as if shot on the run in…..He was just like the Irishman stumbling from the Guiness tent…lol.
As Katarino said……roll on next year….But you better start saving now…lol.

[TF_kev34]

Well a great 4 days but hard for punters,thursday/friday where awful for me but still ended up a little……..

My funny story from tuesday was standing at the bar for an hour in club next to Andy Townsend,we got chatting to him and he gave us a tip for the bumper….It can`t lose lads all the football lads are on it Drumbaloo it was called and it ran like a pig…

Best moments where watching tony mcoy keep getting of the ground after some awful falls and getting on with again.Makes some footballers like like big GIRLS.And Kauto star getting up unscathed after his crashing fall..

Worst moment looking for my betting slip(quevega £375) for half an hour THEN REALISNG I HAD ALREADY CASHED IT LOL

[TF_Katarino]

To paraphrase Graham Taylor, lets’s not knock it. For a start the Gold Cup winner has NEVER been beaten at Cheltenham, I backed it in Ryanair last year. IC is another REAL horse we should treasure.

Kev: O’Gradys Shot from the Hip in Bumper was backed as if “Money from America”…crashed and burnt…..

Kim Muir: 5(!!!!) were gambled and a drifter won it, that sort of year….

Usual footballers doing their nuts etc but it’s still the best racing week in the world and if you’ve never been, book now, it’ll change your life 😉
