Lt.Speirs Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Well we might as well stick with tradition. Put all the news, views and tips here in the two weeks to the festivals. Sprinter sacre and cue card out already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendoll Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I've got ?10e/w and ?6 win on Last Installment for the Gold Cup at 50/1. Glad Cue Card is out. Now just need Bob's Worth and Conti to pull out, have some kind of freak rain on the Thursday to make the ground soft, and for all the steroids to be completely out its system before it runs :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsh Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Unfortunately because mclaughlins in cannon mills has been turned into a wine bar, we will be frequenting the centurion this year, the weights for the handicaps were released today, missed the 16s for the festival handicap but took 14 with hills on Hadrians approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt.Speirs Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 The big noise from Ireland is ted veale in the johnny henderson being backed off the boards into 7/1. Has ran 3 times over frnces to get it's handicap mark, all ran on crap ground that it hates. stll running 12 pound lower over fences than hurdles. This horse will go off fav.

Kendoll Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Aye, hadn't read your post when I made mine. Nobody told me about it so I hope you all lose! Not sure it'll run to be honest. Needs to pass another drug test, then hope the trainer isn't banned from running his horses, then needs to pish it doon fairly strongly all week. Any hint of good ground and it won't run. If those 3 things happen, then it might have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmfc_liam06 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Really wanted to go this year but kind of glad I'm not now that Sprinter Sacre isn't running, would love to see that horse in the flesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Anyone going down this year? This I'd my first I've missed in a few years due to a knee operation. Going for Gold Cup day. First time at Cheltenham and really looking forward to it. Not got any ante-post bets on yet but will put some on this weekend. An inch of rain forecast for the next week so am tempted to do some e/w bets on horses that like it heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would watch with the ground Cheltenham drains liquid quicker than Ollie reed. I've been privileged to see some phenomenal horses over the last few years. Hurricane fly, bug bucks, Denman, master minded, sprinter sacre and the best kauto star, never forget him winning his second gold was right at the winning post, watching him coming back and ruby shouting ya fu..er as he went past. Great times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1874robbo Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Got a shout to watch out for a horse but it needs good ground and a distance of around 2.5 miles. It is called Creepy. The trainer is knightly I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was reading about the Waterford Cheltenham preview with Davy Russell, John Francome etc and out of 8, 7 all went with AP. The quote from Ruby was that Big Bucks can't give AP 7lbs and a beating.

Slevinkelevra Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 The question is can annie power stay the distance at cheltenham? Having said that i'm torn between the two, big bucks is a class act. Still gutted they didnt put annie power up against hurricane fly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zico Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I wouldn't discount BB he's that good. He's a great horse but for the first time, I think I'm going to oppose. Was not impressed by how Twiston-Davies rode him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt.Speirs Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 I think he was rode to see what they had. Jumped and moved beautifully cruised all the way round, jumped the last and blew up. Though I would concede giving 7 pound us alot. They also must be very confident of her getting the 3 mile. Because that is some hill tv does it no justice.

Del1812 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Not a huge fan of horse racing but love watching the Cheltenham Festival. Hopefully my recent misadventures on the football coupons (beaten by one four out of the last five weeks) are behind me and I can win some money to go baws deep on this everyday next week. Had loads of fun last year, even if ultimately I ended up down about ?25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
