Cheltenham Day 3

Slattsy

No time for write ups but here's my selections today

Black Hercules (though i like Zabana!)

Missed Approach

No bet - but Vatour should win

No bet - but Thistlecrack will win (have it in a double with Don Cossack though)

Johns Spirit (backed AP)

No bet and no opinion

I like 2 in the last so im splitting my stake - The Giant Bolster(win) & The Job is Right (ew)

GLTA

Juxtapose

Have Zabana myself in the first.
2:10 is Our Kaempfer, got him at 12/1
2:50 Vatour at 11/10 (freebet of 25) and also in a double
3:30 Vatour & Thistlecrack PP enhanced 4/1
Also a treble with both them and Garde
4:10 Johns Spirit. Ante post as some have here as well, hopefully does it!
4:50 Bloody Mary - worth a shot on, got at 16/1 earlier in the week.
5:30 Cause of causes Classy horse and has been lined up for this race all year.

Best of luck today, im off to the boozer, hopefully a few quid to spend!:)

hahahaha you're joking me. Zabana fell before the race started! :mad::D

Slattsy

I'd be disgusted if i'd have backed Zabana. Started made a balls of that, disgraceful.

Juxtapose

Yeah i'm hoping because it was such a farce they offer a money back on it.

I bet with William Hill though so prob no chance of that

Black Hercules wins, Ruby's 50th!

Slattsy

I needed that winner tbf

Juxtapose

Congrats mate!

Announcer said they are offering money back on a lot of bookies but no mention of WH. Hopefully they follow suit

Edit : Just looked at their twitter, full money back.. Thats a relief!

Slattsy

Yeah i can see a lot of firms paying out, that was really was diabolical.
But was Russell paying attention?

Slattsy

Sun is shining there, ground will be quick tomorrow > Don Cossack Day

Slattsy

Never backing a Greatrex horse again

Slattsy

If In Doubt seriously unlucky there.

Taquin du Sueill for me ew

Slattsy

Def wouldnt have stayed in the GC.

Slattsy

Just beat 3 thorough stayers in a fast ground 2 1/2 mile race. Im not buying into all the hype.

Probably was the horse to lump on today - he was never going to lose that mickey mouse race.

Slattsy

Today was the day for the doubles/trebles !

Wow, that was impressive, much more so than Vatour.

Slattsy

Big Bucks wouldnt have been able to live with that.

Ha-ha someone on another thread said thistlecrack was the best staying hurdler ever! Barracuda,big bucks,inglis drever were ordinary i suppose it was a mighty impressive win todayno doubt,but he has a bit more to do before he can be called the best staying hurdler ever

Slattsy

Long way to go to best ever. But really dont think many could have lived with him today, that was serious.

droidman123

Did a small e\w nibble on tango de juilley in the next would of preferred way more juice in the ground though.

Slattsy

If Johns Spirits wins this lads.... some session saturday!

Clouted 2 fences in a row and was pulled up I think Slattsy. Id the fancy prices on him too

All ya want is a run for your money like.

droidman123

Did an e\w in girly girl @40/1 in the mares novice,I think this race is more open than the Betting suggests although Mullins has let slip on more than one occasion this week that limini is a shoe in

Slattsy

Wow

droidman123

Very nicely done

droidman123

Did Mon parrain @ 40/1 in the last for a modest interest,the Kim Muir was never my luckiest race at the festival.
