Got to take on Cue Card with Paddy Power"s promotion of money back if it wins...a field full of unexposed novices to take him on with. The Champion Hurdle has just given me a massive headache so decided to go with 2 outsiders instead. Quevega will win the mares hurdle but can"t back it at the forecast prices. Going with 2 for most races so....

1.30 Spirit Son + Magens Star

2.05 Medermit

2.40 Caroles Legacy (NAP) + King Fontaine

3.20 Dunguib + Kyber Kim

4.00 Maljimar + Poker de Sivola

4.40 Quevega + L"accordiniste

5.15 Tullamore Dew + Tharawaat

Good luck everyone...here"s hoping for a profitable start!

A decent day, had a couple of close calls! Decided to back Bensalem after listening to a Choc Thornton interview. So ended up have the 1st,2nd,4th and 5th in that race from my 4 runners! Spirit Son would have made it a very good day, damn Ruby!

A very hard day, the ground has come wrong for my 2 antepost bets Master Minded and Star Neuville in the bumper..so hoping for live ones at big prices.

1.30 Sona Sasta, Major Malarkey, Captain Americo

2.05 So Young, Tornado Bob

2.40 Aiteenthirtythree, Wayward Prince

3.20 Master Minded, Mad Max

4.00 Lightening Strike (NAP), Solix, Orsippius

4.40 Celtus, Paintball

5.15 Star Neuville, Divine Rhapsody

Good luck everyone.

I"m feeling pretty sick at the moment....

I would imagine that there are a few bookies having a drink or two around the bars in Cheltenham tonight.  I would guess the day was carnage for a lot of punters.

But, as was posted on here by a lot of people, the card today was a really tough one to bet on.

[Chipaccrual]

Right then, had two busy days of work, but can now look forward to two busy days of Cheltenham Festival.

Going to hit tomorrows card hard, and will post up my picks either late tonight or first thing in the morning.


Bookies Beware.

Did"nt get involved much today, quite glad really or it could have been carnage.I"m sweet on Wishfull Thinking tomorrow, so there"s a good lay for everybody.

[bigredders]

As the ground was too quick for my ante-post fancies today, and i have backed Albertas Run it is bound to lash it down tonight!!!

Really is a far better horse on quicker ground as it showed last year, i just hope its fall 2 starts ago hasn"t made its mark.

Quite fancy the chances of Mr Gardener in the Jewson but not really looked in the race in depth.

Leaving the World Hurdle alone....can see Grand Crus coming to challenge as Time for Rupert did last year but Big Bucks just pulling out more, but betting at evens to find that out doesn"t appeal...i have lost enough already

Final picks to follow tommorow FWIW

[Laxie]

3:20  Restless Harry  e/w  (silly bet, but as I"m up at omg a.m. thought it was appropriate)
3:20  Cross Kennon  e/w  (liked the name - blaming lack of sleep  lol)

4:00  Quartz De Thaix  win

4:40  Fredo  e/w  (come on the Irish!!!  win would be mighty, but a place will do too)
