Cheltenham Antepost

F*ck it anyway, Delta Work’s price gone to the dogs

Angliru

"Santini lost a shoe yesterday and our vet poulticed it as a precautionary measure. I have been away from the yard today but have spoken to my staff and they report him fine and we see no reason why he won’t run in the RSA. Should that change, I will update accordingly."

Nicky on Twitter. Maybe similar to the Altior scare last year. Market does seem to have corrected itself and he's just a handful of ticks away from what he was yesterday.

Anybody have any idea on Rathvinden ? Was looking at the national. 20s could be worth a few Bob.

Ruby said Benie Des Dieux is his best ride of the week so I'd imagine Laurina will defo go CH

Ruby's friends in Paddy Power are offering a special price of 6/4 on BDD for the Mare's Hurdle (max bet €200), best price elsewhere is 5/4. NRNB, obviously. As long as AJ and Laurina stay away, she looks like a good thing, in fairness.

This is their big one for the week I think. Let the punters wade in and go to town on the 6/4. If she wins then Powers have 3 full days to get their money back, if she’s beaten then their week is off to a flyer. Win win for them. Is it an online only special? If not I might venture into a couple of shops tomorrow and load up and then lay it off at hopefully long odds on in running on the day (in a perfect world that is).

Neither can I, it sounds like waffles. Paddy Power are offering 4/5 on Benie de Dieux. See link below for best price.

If something sounds too good to be true it usually isn't.

Never seen €200 max stake. Normally 20 quid

Is Limini running in the mares?

BDD special ended at 6pm in shops

Boylesports are 11/10 on Benie Des Dieux. So are Ladbrokes but they are too scared to take a good bet, in Galway anyway.

Top festival jockey looks open 3/1 +the field

Boyles have: Ruby 5/2, Geraghty 3/1, Russell and Kennedy each 5/1, Nico 10/1, Townend and Mark Walsh 12/1

cant believe Ruby is fav, though on the other hand i guess they have to do that, sucker bet imo.

I love the spectacle of Cheltenham but try not to get too caught up in it, imo it's a bookies paradise tho last year i had a good profit. the year before got cleaned.

I'm tempted to take a stab on Kennedy at 5/1

ruby and Barry are probably the 2 jockeys i have cursed at more than any but Barry's been doing well lately and he could have a big say this year.

Backed Lisnagor Oscar today for the AB. Looks to have good tactical speed and there will be no doubts about him staying. What's people betting strategy now? Is anyone now just waiting for decs and extra places etc?

Angliru

Cilaos definitely out according to David Casey. Another kick in the teeth although I was already half over it. The hope always stings ya though!

Look at the Chepstow race replay, dickie diver was the one to take out of it, I don’t know how he didn’t get it in stewards room.
He’s gone under the radar and I think he’s a huge chance.

He may have been the one to take out of the Chepstow race but that was 2 and a half miles. What Oscar came out and did at Haydock over 3miles would suggest he is even better over 3. Dickie Diver may improve for the step up in trip but I'd prefer to see him do it first. 2 hurdle runs before an AB not for me tbh.

Any chance they’d try him in the Ballymore? Big price! / less competitive?

Personally think the Ballymore is the more competitive of the two, supreme the right race for FD

Klassical Dream has shortened considerably on the exhanges for the Supreme. They must be having a re- think.

I think its the weather forecast tbh, lots of rain forecast.

Hope nobody has any antepost bets with BetBright. Seems like they just voided everything as they are closing up shop and sold their technology to 888 who did not buy the business outside of the Software.

I suspect there will be repercussions as people on twitter going wild.
Personally i am not able to bet with them but keep on top of it anybody with any bets. Do not accept a void bet!! Load of bollix.

RivetingRoger

isnt betbright Rich Ricci's ?

PhuckHugh2

Correct Roger.
They sold the technology for €15m to 888bet and the bookmaking side of it is being closed and by the press release they have sent out they will be voiding all outstanding bets from today on and anyone with an account has 30days to withdraw the funds.

He will be grand once Faugheen hacks up Thursday week!!

PhuckHugh2

Not sure if anyone has as i said but i would advise anyone who has bets pending to sit on it and keep an eye on both @gondorfhenry and @BoycottBetfred on twitter. This matter has been referred to the Gambling Commission in the UK according to Paul F.
As BetBright is an Irish entity it may be a bit messy imo but i would hold tough on cashing out those funds related to bets for the moment.

Unless of course you want to cash out your **** antepost bets in which case go quick

RivetingRoger

Don't betbright sponsor Notts Forest
and don't 888 sponsor Derby
And don't Forest and Derby hate each other!!!

pugw

Are betbright a different crowd to Betfred ?

Angliru

BetBright gubbed me after a handful of bets. Don't even think I made a profit, they're simply ***** if it looks like you're trying to take some value. They're as bad as Stan James tbh.

See Samcro has taken the tiniest amount of support on the machine and the slack isn't as big as it was. Say a prayer the beauty is going to show his face. Would piss me off stupid if he skipped and Top Notch ended up winning after switching from the Ryanair.

byronbay2

Paddy Power special today is Sir Erec @ 11/8 for The Triumph. Best price Evens elsewhere.

Balls, bet365 wont let me cash out my ap bets

The horse better hack up the RSA and Gold Cup the next two years. Heart broken :pac: I guess I should be happy they aren't trying to ruin the horse by rushing him.

We're looking at a soft ground festival again lads, the forecast is brutal for the next week or so.

Dr. Bre

Is this bad for presenting Percy the forecast?

Slattsy

Nah good for him. Really going to bring Native River back into the reckoning too.

prettyboy81

A lot of owners, trainers & maybe even some horses have been doing the rain dance. All but guaranteed soft, good to soft in places from Clerk or Course on Day 1. Then lets see what some jockey's say after the 1st race.

Soft ground, and Presenting Percy is the only possibility of getting native river beat. He holds everything else comfortably.



Percy will have to be what some think he is , anything less and Native river wins. i.e. If its soft Native river should be FAV.

Would have thought you'd be all over Elegant Escape on soft at the current prices Aido!

one of the first ruled out, i just think he is a plodder. Maybe he'll place, but if he couldn't get near percy on soft ground last year he has no chance in this race. Annabelle Fly is the same price, and far more likely . If he's near 20/1 on the day with 4 places, i wouldn't put anyone off unloading EW.



Think Native River is a hugely likely winner on soft, and im not sure what gets close. On good ill be on Myte Byte at a big price.



Anyway after all that ill be roaring Thistlecrack on .

Sorry.. I thought you were a big EE fan, obviously mistaken!

Properly run race see's his jumping improve imo and he'll plod home best of all.

Slattsy

Going by the latest forecast, it's nothing but rain rain rain. Ground already gone good to soft, soft in places.
Could be looking at soft to heavy for the week if the forecast materialises. Disaster.
