Tuesday 15th March 2022 Cheltenham Day 1

The DayDream · 15-03-2022 2:14pm

I don't get the drift on Honeysuckle tho Ive heard folks saying De Bromhead runners are not in good form - I don't buy into or care about that as I'm sure they'll have their supertar mare right and her partnership with Rachel seems to be a match made in heaven.

I think the drift is mainly because Cheltenham attracts a lot more casual punters who have no interest in odds on at all and the 1/2 she was at was never going to bring them in with all the other options for their fiver flutters.

In saying that, Honeysuckle is the crux of so many punters multiples that it could be the 'Annie Power' type loser the books need this year, and no mare has won this race twice. But I don't see why she can't.

Supreme is a cracker. I backed Jonbon in every race he's been in so far but Constitution Hill seems tailor made for Cheltenham's hill with the way his powerful and economical strides at the end of races has propelled him away from his rivals and that's who I backed. Ruby Walsh picked Jonbon and a lot of punters too which is understandable at the more generous price but IMO stick to the one Nico is on if picking a Henderson runner in the race.

I backed Paul Townend at 4/5 to be top jockey last month so if Dysart Dynamo wins I won't mind that either. I don't see Rachel repeating and Mullins is almost a dead cert to be top trainer, I'll be mildly surprised if any other jockey has more winners than Paul. Interestingly he's put up Gaelic Warrior in the 4.50 as his best chance of the day. I hope it wins but I avoid those 20+ runner races.

Edwardstone has drifted as well. Someone said 11/4 is skinny lol I backed it at 9/4 2 weeks ago and I'll have a bit of 11/4 if it's still on offer and Constitution wins, looks a tough nut to crack.

Tributo 6/1 in 8:30 Southwell tonight for me and that's all, PP payng 4 places, 10run, I've got no time for more.

AhFrayedKnot · 15-03-2022 2:39pm

I swear to **** do we ever get the race we want

erlichbachman · 15-03-2022 2:40pm

That was impressive, made jonbon look very ordinary at the end

PsychoPete · 15-03-2022 2:42pm

Dysart looked to be an absolute handful, Constitution Hill was very impressive there

gazza1 · 15-03-2022 2:43pm

Very impressive

The DayDream · 15-03-2022 2:51pm

That's likely the last time you'll ever get anything around 2/1 fo4 that horse. Once Dysart went down it was a formality.

rolling boh · 15-03-2022 2:52pm

certainly would not have expected him to beat jonbon that easy .

Panrich · 15-03-2022 2:54pm

He would have been booked for at best third there if he stood up. He never settled with Jonbon pressing him all the time and as you say looks an absolute handful.

I do hate talk like this there is no possible way anyone knows what would have happened and now we wont ever as nicky wont send him to punchestown and he will be off chasing next year

Was already wound up by the time they got away and pulled all the way - set the race up for the winner but he finished like he would have won no matter what happened . That was impressive.

Hucklesuckle now 5/6 so may have to dig in again ......

Lots of confidence from Elliot's yard about the end of the day so going to back these 3: Ebisary, Queensbrook & Run Wild Fred

15-03-2022 3:10pm

Honeysuckle 5/6...

Oh boy...

In the name of The Father, The Son...

TheMilkyPirate · 15-03-2022 3:13pm

You think Dysart would have beaten CH there????

Faugheen · 15-03-2022 3:18pm

No chance. CH as good a Supreme winner that we've seen in my opinion.

Dysart never settled and it wasn't a surprise when he fell.

Posh Boy · 15-03-2022 3:20pm

FFS, Saint Sam taken out, ah well ........

Dr. Bre · 15-03-2022 3:23pm

Nice start fir the Brits

15-03-2022 3:24pm

That'll do, Eddie!

Delighted for Tom Cannon.

rolling boh · 15-03-2022 3:33pm

happy for the conections especially the jock a lot of pressure on a hot pot looking for his first festival winner big weight of his shoulders .

15-03-2022 3:45pm

I had planned to avoid the race but I'm having a go on Fantastikas in the Ultima @11/1.

Haapy days, Our Power now hopefully

Father Hernandez · 15-03-2022 3:51pm

Frodon really going under the radar here.

Panrich · 15-03-2022 3:53pm

FFS. It's not a 5F sprint. It's too strict.

Xander10 · 15-03-2022 4:02pm

Irish horses getting hammered

15-03-2022 4:07pm

Another one for the Brits ; couldn't find one b & m offering handicap odds on the unders and overs for Ireland,, me wanted to back Ireland on the unders, and that was the start I would have been hoping for,, +/- 19.5 winners i think it was,,

now it'll be onto the crap talk about how folks were 'hammering' Ireland on the 'overs' , or somesuch bs, and 'potential burnt fingers' 😢

'Prestbury Cup' poster happy enuf i'd say with the 11s,, inspires hope so it does for that bet going t'distance 🙂

munster87 · 15-03-2022 4:09pm

5th, happy out again.

Only HMS Seahorse and Honeysuckle left of note for me today.

15-03-2022 4:09pm

What's this new shoite bs spoken word low budget poetry all about?

ShamoBuc · 15-03-2022 4:36pm

Well done Rachael !

Fitz* · 15-03-2022 4:36pm

Brilliant run there Honeysuckle. Well done Rachel Blackmore. Powered up the hill.

Limestone1 · 15-03-2022 4:39pm

Brilliant there when the pressure came on. Hon Rachel

15-03-2022 4:41pm

Wait for it - HUUGE PRICE bs talk 😂

15-03-2022 4:45pm

and Fitzy mentioned Epatante early doors at a 'HUGE proyce' - someone'll remind us,,, well done Mick, that equates to marginally north of an even money winner, if backing each way,,

Well Done Rachael ! 😊

15-03-2022 4:48pm

WD all who were on - at least a couple on here were,,

no bet meself, so take me time 'etiquette' wise doing t'needful, so didn't see race 😃

15-03-2022 4:59pm

Ronan Keating 🤣 from the sublime to a slime,,, pay your cleaner ya tight kernt (allegedly)

rolling boh · 15-03-2022 5:09pm

must have been really stuck for a celeb if that clown was brought on .

Xander10 · 15-03-2022 5:16pm

Nasty looking fall for Rachel

tinpib · 15-03-2022 5:16pm

Rachael on her feet apparently, that was a sickening fall. One extreme to the other, that's racing.

The judges results are in,, At the end of TTV coverage, it's a draw between The DayDream with his three winners - WD T DD !! - and the poster blackcard sitting pretty on four winners, and a healthy lead of three on t'principal pursuers 😊

Congrats lads,, prizes not on offer alas , but bragging rights assured 😃

15-03-2022 5:44pm

4.50 BELL EX ONE 28/1 ew Nap

AhFrayedKnot · 15-03-2022 6:11pm

elliots running awfully the tide turns comfortably beat brazil when they met

BQQ · 15-03-2022 6:11pm

Can't believe only 6 go to post for this last race

there's prize money down to 8th place - you could pick up nearly a grand just for showing up, but nobody is bothered

AhFrayedKnot · 15-03-2022 6:39pm

theres the national winner

SonOfGoat · 15-03-2022 6:48pm

Couple of bets elsewhere for me.

5.55 Southwell, donya, around 12/1, I've had an e.w bet on this. Horse is nothing special at all but in this race way over priced. Take away its last run and no way a 12/1 shot. Hopefully goes close.
