Matt Posted 12 March 2015 Share Posted 12 March 2015 Well in my true festival form I do shite on Tuesday and Wednesday and recover it on Thursday and Friday. I was well down before today but thanks to Vautour, Call The Cops and Ma Filleule (shame it didn't win but hey ho, had it E/W so got a return) I'm now in small profit, just need to make more tomorrow! Also had Lieutenant Colonel, shame that didn't win, that would have been amazing but again hey ho, just happy to have clawed my losses back and added abit of profit aswell!

Matt Posted 12 March 2015 Share Posted 12 March 2015 Also done a yes or no coupon; AP McCoy to ride two or more winners - Yes. Faugheen to win Champion Hurdle - Yes. Irish to train 12 or more winners - Yes. Biggest winning SP 40/1 or higher - No. (Dodgy one) Silviniaco Conti to be placed in the Gold Cup - Yes. Don Cossack to be placed in the Ryanair Chase - Yes. 40/1 This ain't looking too bad. I need AP to win atleast another race tomorrow. Another 4 Irish trained winners (I think? - that might be a tough one.) No winner to be higher than 40/1. And Silvinaco Conti to be placed in the gold cup (I don't fancy him to win but think he'll be placed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchandro Posted 12 March 2015 Share Posted 12 March 2015 I'm livid at Geraghty's ride on Whisper. He came there with a great chance on the turn and he never rode him. Almost no effort whatsoever until he was already beaten. Some serious questions need to be asked about that, it was dodgy at best. Similarly I've never seen AP ride like he has for most of the week, backed him twice and his mounts dropped out very tamely without even being asked a question by him. Had Regal Encore who was going like a dream and he didn't even pull the whip out before dropping right out. Then he goes a wins the following race whilst my each way chance comes in 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 12 March 2015 Share Posted 12 March 2015 Many Clouds E/W has to be a great bet in the Gold Cup if the rain forecast comes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee7 Posted 12 March 2015 Share Posted 12 March 2015 Thinking of doing a £4 pound trixie with peace and co, many clouds and black Hercules will return £144 if it was to come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't the only one who thought it was an utter shit ride from him then! He never bothered at all until like you said he was beaten, a little reminder to the horse could have got him alot closer in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 12 March 2015 Share Posted 12 March 2015 For final day tomorrow: Peace & Co/Black Hercules EW Double EW Lucky 15 Hargam The Game Changer Djakadam Paint The Clouds From earlier in the week - lucky 15 Vautour (won) Faugheen (won) Sire De Grugy (lost) Silviano Conti So I guess either way there'll be money coming back thanks to the final bet above.

Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 12 March 2015 Share Posted 12 March 2015 Just had a proper look at the Gold Cup line up, must be the most competitive renewal in a long time. Can make cases for atleast 5 or 6 to have rock solid chances.Conti = Form horse this year, but will he get beaten by the hill again? Many Clouds = Overachieved all season, will love the rain to come down. Djakadam = Mullins & Walsh pretty bullish about its chances, again would love testing ground. Holywell = Course hero, and improved vastly last time in his prep run. Sam Winner = Will definitely stay and won 2 very solid looking races this year, will love more moisture in the ground too. And that's not even getting to Coneygree, Bobs Worth, Carlingford Lough, Road to Ritches and last years winner Lord Windermere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScouseFox Posted 12 March 2015 Share Posted 12 March 2015 Beltor & Djakadam (at numerous prices from 11/1 down to 7/1) in an e/w double and as singles. hugely keen on the latter. won about fiddy quid tonight on the footy/darts so had a few more for fun. Beltor/Hargam RFC & Djakadam/Many Clouds RFC in respective races. And an e/w lucky 15 of Beltor, Cheltenian, No More Heroes & Djakadam, 20p e/w returns upwards of £2200 it's good to dream. can't decide whether to get involved in this AP horse in the last or not. Probably missed the boat somewhat, and it's bare form figures are a joke but everyone is piling into it due to McCoy. Can't work out if they're doing so sentimentally or not though. AP in the AP McCoy Grand Annual named after AP McCoy on AP McCoy's last day at Cheltenham a month before he retires, on the fav. If anything was ever going to be fixed...

Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 12 March 2015 Share Posted 12 March 2015 At the risk of sounding silly, is this a joke? Which bit? When I say over achieved I mean ran beyond what many thought it was capable of. Not many tipped him for the Hennesey and to beat Dynaste and Smad Place was also surprsingly impressive. The rain aspect is just looking at the form, wins have come on soft, not ran well on good this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 12 March 2015 Share Posted 12 March 2015 "Many Clouds" being affected by the rain. Is it just me? Well it will give him better chances of winning than some of the others with a little give in the ground. Obviously I don't mean if it turns into a bog with puddles everywhere but a little cut will take the sting out of some of the classier horses. The market seems to agree, since the rain has started at Cheltenham it has been backed in from 10's to as short as 13/2 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted 13 March 2015 Share Posted 13 March 2015 Loved Beltors run a couple of weeks ago! And I've been looking at Holywell for a few weeks now, think I'll be back him for the Gold Cup, really like the look! Silviniaco Conti has cost me atleast 3 times, I may live to regret it but I just can't back him again, I think he'll place but he won't win.

Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 13 March 2015 Share Posted 13 March 2015 As usual with every big race meet I have a great first day and then very little afterwards. If all my bets placed lose today I will be down £30 on the week. If Peace & Co and Conti come in then I will be a few hundred up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
