Cheltenham 2022

[Guest Lcfc82]

Nube Negra is out, not good for people backing E-W.

I’ve had put the kettle on E-W. Fancied it to get 3rd but not confident it will get 2nd.

I’ve swerved Envoi not sure what to expect from it. I think Shishkin wins got him as part of an acca.

That went well !

 

something not right with shishkin there. 40-1 shot in 2nd

[RonnieTodger]

Shishkin bloody hell

 

I could bet on a one horse race and it’d lose 

[ealingfox]

What a 'stroke of luck' for the bookies in Shishkin pulling up!

[Guest Lcfc82]

Mighty run from tiger there, gutted he couldn’t hold on.

Well my week is going as usual, up in a nice profit for days 1&2 now to lose it on the last two days

That's the spirit. 

 

I like champ today. 

 

Also doing conflated and a few really big prices in the handicaps, born patriot and slate house. 

[goose2010]

A lot better weather today thank God only just about dried out!! 

 

First race is an exciting one for me two class horses battling it out! 

 

If the cap fits looks over priced in the second race and sky bet paying top 8 might have to have a couple of quid on that. 

 

Nothing else really sticks out to me yet ..

 

Stopping over tonight so going to sacrifice the last race and try and find a pub that has the Leicester game on....

I’ve wrote born patriot down as a possible. Ballyandy with a great chance in that race along with Dunboyne. 

[The Guvnor]

Went yesterday, what a washout literally, still drying out today.

 Can't understand why they irrigated with 5mm of water Tuesday eve, what bloody weather forecast does the clerk  of the course look at there was 21mm of rain on the course Wednesday. 

[RowlattsFox]

Firstly, hope the horse is ok but secondly I think that pretty much sums up my experience of horse racing betting  

 

Had Galopin has part of a treble...

[goose2010]

That was another Annie Power moment! 

[Jaspa]

 

Got lucky with a free bet. Have no idea about horses, just stuck it on a name I liked.

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

Had the heart pumping round the bend there with slate house at 40/1 but faded down the straight. 

[Bert]

Had a treble of Bob Ollinger, Allaho and Flooring Porter. About £25 down for the day but still sitting pretty going into the last day. 

[Guest Lcfc82]

Ginto 🙁

[deejdeej]

Won on that race but means f**k all to me when a horse pulls up like Ginto did.

Totally agree, reminded me of Sir Eric breaking down a couple of years ago

[The Bear]

Bloody hell. 

 

Our betting group at work had £56 on a combo tricast of Minella Indo/A Plus Tard/Galvin. 

 

Done by a feckin nose!! Got £230 back from it but would have been much more if Galvin had ran anywhere decent. 

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

Biggest bet of the week on winged leader about sums my week up. 

[Bert]

I had a treble of 

Vauban

State Man

Hillcrest

 

Vauban

Hillcrest 

A Plus Tard 

A Plus Tard

Billaway 

Elimay 

 

Hillcrest done me out of a couple of hundred but the last treble saved the day. 
 

Took £325 profit for the week. 

[Guest Lako42]

This week is good for people like me who don't bet regularly on horses.

 

The fact I barely had a place all week just reinforced the fact I shouldn't bet on the nags. 

 

Still, only fun money bet and much like the upcoming masters it's still cheap entertainment overall.
