Ballyburn haha. Oh dear.

Is it just me or does Nico De Boinville look like a really weird human being. Like one of the lizard people. Saw him interviewed earlier and he just looks like he'd be a right mardy *****. 

[Innovindil]

Bookies having a right laugh. Should at least be some good offers for the last day if this keeps up 

[StanSP]

That's some recovery from Jonbon despite not winning. 

[Bert]

A fairytale win for Marine Nationale. 
 

Been another bonkers day. First two days are normally punter days. Let’s hope it’s a reverse this year. Had a nice double with the new lion and Marine Nationale. 

[adejo92]

Bookies have done us this year.

 

Don't trust horse racing anyway, corrupt as it comes.

Always people that lose say this. 

 

Events like this corrupt ? Not a chance.

Marine nationale my only winner so far, after I copied people on here  

Thought I put my mate mozzie ew but didn't  

 

Hoping for bambino fever for a double with the new lion.

Usually do alright on the horses but Cheltenham has done me dirty. 

 

Still believe there's corruption in racing.

There's bound to be some, but unlikely in huge events like this. Too many people involved.

Yeah I agree there definitely will be a bit (look at Langer Dan last year!) but definitely not at something this high profile 

[Bert]

Tomorrow is even more of a minefield. Hardest day of the lot.

The Festival is always feast or famine for me. No in between. Done my nut so many times,  but this year is very much feast (so far!).

 

6 winners over the first 2 days including the Champion Hurdle and Champion Chase and 4 ok placed horses. Had some luck but you have to take the rough with the smooth.

 

Don't bet big enough to do hot pots so long may they continue to underperform.

Very similar here. 7 winners and 2 places. Trouble is I haven't backed them all because I usually do rubbish. I typically pick slightly higher odds and go for e/w accas. I've had one horse let me down in every one so far!

I honestly lose less when im absolutely sloshed at 4am on a Saturday and going all in on an acca from the Jamaican 4th division 

[The Year Of The Fox]

Really happy I’ve not bothered betting anything this year yet

 

Doesnt sound like anyone’s really doing well 

[goody2028]

Tomorrow looks so tough. Each way acca is probably all i’ll look at doing. 

[The Bear]

Looks a bookie-bashing day to me tomorrow with some strong favourites. 

 

13:20 Sixandahalf

14:00 Springwell Bay

14:40 Win Some Lose Some

15:20 Fact To File

16:00 Teahupoo

16:40 Jagwar

17:20 Midnight Our Fred

[Bert]

Can’t believe Sixandahalf got done there. Looked so comfortable right up until the last 100 yards. 
 

Nice to see the starter being a dickhead, again. 

[EastAnglianFox]

Think I’m done for this year 

[StanSP]

125/1 Anyway in 2nd

And a 66/1 3rd place too. 

 

Good job if you had them in your picks! 

[goose2010]

If Brian Hughes rides at Cheltenham i always back him, he rarely comes south so must be for good ones and certainly didnt let me down then!
