Hope this isn't the sign of things to come with a 2nd. Least I get my stake back from Ladbrokes for it though.

Do The Dance

Was on Cinders and Ashes and Galilaeo's Choice for the win.

 

Not alot, but more money towards the weeks funds!

That'll be JM's doing. He'll be hoping to 'pick' the winners after the races and then use the clock to suggest that he picked them before the race had started.

Jealousy is a terrible thing :P

 

 

Right, onto Al Ferof with Paddy power next, if Sprinter Sacre wins then it's another refunded stake :thumbsup:

 

(still not been refunded my stake at Lads for the first race yet though) :(

Wow!!! :woot: :woot:

 

What a performance by Sprinter Sacre there, even if Al Ferof didn't mess up at one of the jumps he would never have beaten that, incredible!

Outstanding performance from Sprinter Sacre there, never even left 2nd gear. A star for years to come that horse

Just did a wee lucky 15 e/w today, 7/1 2nd in the first so all to play for. thumbsup.gif

 

Still, at least I'm ahead of champion tipster Mr Mitchell in the Telegraph League. whistling.gif (although 1 of my stables is sitting at -10)

It's a marathon, not a sprint mate, which is what Caroline keeps telling you :whistling:

Hold On Julio in the next race. I'd prefer it if I didn't get a hat-trick of 2nds.

2.40 - Tullamore Dew

3.20 - Hurricane Fly

4.00 - Sizing Australia

4.40 - Quevega

5.15 - Mic's Delight

 

20p candian bet, need 2 winners to get something back.

Ladbrokes still not refunded the stake as promised for the first race, and yet Paddy Power have done it already for the 2nd race, time to change my bookie I think :angry:

That would be a help :D

Wouldn't have even given that winner a second look, that was one for the bookies and if Hurricane Fly bolts up in the next then they're going to need results like that one.

Hurricane Fly to beat Rock On Ruby in a straight forecast in the next, I was gonna do Zarkander to fill 2nd place but he's got a wee bit to find with Ruby.

Glad I talked myself out of that treble now.

 

One of them was always going to lose. It just isn't ever that easy at Cheltenham.

Pretty much my reasoning behind it.

 

Quite annoyed though, had Rock on Ruby on the Telegraph league, wish I'd went and backed it at the bookies :down:

 

 

No doubt Swincombe Flame will win the 4.40 as well seeing my luck so far today.

That's what I said too, all the favourites never come in at this meeting.
