I'm new to the forum, I was directed here from a Youtube horse racing channel. I find myself obsessed with all things Cheltenham Festival and have been going for a few years now. Although I've been enjoying a bet for about 10 years, I've still got plenty to learn about horses although I did have a very profitable Cheltenham 2021.
I could talk Cheltenham Antepost until I'm blue in the face, and I'm currently scouting the markets and placing small wagers ahead of what will hopefully be another profitable campaign.
I look forward to talking horses with all of you
Hi Jamie
You've come to the right place of you're obsessed. It's good to see the name drop on YouTube has brought in new members

Welcome Jamie. I've only been on here since March but am already enjoying the rollercoaster ride that is Fat Jockey. Buckle up and enjoy the ride!!
Hello Everyone.
Another newbie and long-time lurker. I have to say I'm in awe of the knowledge, insight and thoughtfulness on this site. Also the measured way you discuss things, and the feeling of cameraderie.
Cheltenham is the highlight of my year - it's been that way since the mid 80s. I used to go for all three days, then four. I didn't miss a day until 2012 - except for Foot and Mouth, and when the wind blew the side off a tent. Well, I was younger then. I haven't been since 2012, but one day...
I look forward to joining in, on here. In the meantime, thanks for making the past 12 months much more enjoyable.
I'm glad you decided to join us Jamie Sensible and Hill of bones.
We're a good bunch, and we pretty much work together to find the winners each March. All the chat and the genuine camaraderie is just fantastic. And most important of all, everyone's opinion matters. It's the debate that helps find the good stuff.
This place is first class if Festival antepost is your thing. There will be 28 winners next March, and between us we'll find all 28 including the big price left field ones. Not a single well known pundit will come remotely close to that.
Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.
Evening lads, finally bit the bullet and stopped lurking!
I'm 29, I’ve been watching racing for about the last 10 years. Placing my first ever bet on Neptune Collonges in the 2012 Grand National, a couple of quid each way, it didn’t return much but it was enough to ignite the fire!
I’ve been to the festival every year since 2016, it coincides with my birthday and what better place to spend it!
There’s been plenty of great on course moments but Champ winning the RSA is probably my favourite, my mate and I thought we’d just blown a tidy sum, he started making his way back to the Guinness village but soon stopped when heard me shouting at the top of my voice “He’s coming! He’s coming!” Caught him in mid air after Champ crossed the line, nearly doing my back in (he’s not a small fella haha) A properly thrilling end to a race which he had no right winning!
Well im looking forward to getting involved and learning what I can from you guys, hoping for another successful year to all!

I literally could have written that exact same experience of the RSA... Nice to know that I wasnt the only one who nearly got a broken back thanks to Champ

Welcome.
Always think high fives are best if you're mates are "carrying".
Especially these days.
And I think fist pumps are going to be the method for me from now on.
This Covid thing is a pain in the bum and I'm a mardy arse.
Hi all, I decided to introduce myself here so that no one would be surprised by my posts in other threads. Briefly about myself: I play poker, sometimes I bet on soccer. Started to show interest in horse racing.

Hi all, long time lurker who finally managed to register after numerous idiotic attempts from myself. It's not exactly rocket science!
First Cheltenham memory has to be Menorah winning the Supreme in 2010 and have been to the Festival every year since (except 2021). Really enjoy the antepost game and getting ahead of the market.
My biggest antepost win was in 2016 when I backed Yorkhill, Thistlecrack & On The Fringe in a pre-Christmas treble. Needless to say the Cheltenham Friday night was probably the drunkest I'd ever been and woke up on a drip the next morning. Wasn't all bad mind, I went and bought a new car on Monday! Swings and roundabouts!
Looking forward to getting involved on the forum going forwards and can't wait for tomorrow. The Down Royal October meeting always feels to me like the jumps season is properly underway now!

Welcome to the Forum OTF… Menorah was one of my biggest winners, the buzz of having the Supreme winner starts the whole Festival off. That horse was never quite the same over fences though, flattered to deceive like Captain Chris in the same colours!
Hi all,
Just thought I’d better introduce myself before I get stuck into the forum. Heard a lot about this mystical place from a good mate of mine (hi colty) who is the reason I’m actually so into horse racing now, this is my first year going balls to the wall with antepost betting and have been told this is the place to come to find stuff out. See you on some posts
cheers lads
