Cheltenham 2019 Ante-Post bets

Agreed. Complete tosh. The only one worth listening to is Kealy

The PP rep isn't as abhorrent as "Binners". Every word that man mutters angers me

They should keep it to Kealy and Frank Hickey. Hickey is excellent.
 
Guy on upping the ante put up Waiting Patiently Gold Cup. Swear it's just a joke.
 
That racing postcast on champion hurdle and gold cup with Pricewise and the kid from PP is a bag of shite.
Tom tips up Verdana Blue - but needs good ground, followed by won't be anything like good ground on day one as they'll water heavily due to safety concerns ???
Tom;s summing up of the gold cup runners beggars belief for me.
Then the PP guy tips up Ifthecapfits for the champion hurdle and Wonder Laish ???

It just killed an hour for my commute home.

'Wattsy' crabbing Laurina and bigging up Sharjah. Almost crashed over the Second Severn Crossing!
 
Suffice to say that anyone who could sell his expertise wouldn't give it away.
 
Of all the pundits "Wattsy" is the one i think is stealing a living. He comes on the Monday Postcast having not watched some of the biggest weekend racing and saying that his misses wouldnt let him watch it!! Jesus
 
Not usually an acca anteposter.
But had a dabble with an each way trixie seeing as hills going five places antepost in handicaps.
Kapcorse 20-1 close bros
Glenloe 20-1 kim muir
walktofreedom 33-1 pertemps.
 
First Time posting to the site, I have been keeping up with the site the last 2 years on and off. Only have a few antepost bets throughout the year at small stakes, seems to make the festival a bit more enjoyable!

8 Weeks away till Ruby Tuesday, I feel antepost punting has been difficult for most of this year, with the novice hurdler races being hard to judge. I am still unsure of the likes of Champ and Angels Breath - with nothing really showing a spark over in Ireland.

However, I am sitting on some nice bets:
JLT Vinndication 33/1
RSA Topofthegame 25/1

Hopefully, Kim Bailey will send Vinndication to the JLT at Cheltenham. I do hope this horse comes through this year well and gets targeted for the 2019 King George.

Sounds like an intelligent man. Might have to start listening to that one.

Nice bet on topofthegame he's a solid chance. And goodluck

Welcome to the forum Jacob :) Good man getting involved!

Best of luck with both of those, fan of both myself.
 
They should keep it to Kealy and Frank Hickey. Hickey is excellent.

Kealy did a good interview with Star Sports not long back, and he seems like a really decent bloke.

Maybe I just relate to him more than any other pundit, because he's a self confessed degen, and he loves drinking.

Agree on Hickey, always good to listen to. That Charlie Parcs pod was great value, even though it didn't age quite so well :highly_amused:

Welcome to the forum, Jacob!

If Santini doesn't win the RSA, I hope that TotG does :)

Picking back up on this given the entries came out today !!!
makes this postcast even more redundant
And proves the Lad from PP had definitely been sniffing bags of glue

Last year I had a bit of a success with an each way ante post lucky 15 backing horses who'd won or placed at the previous festival (Monalee, Melon, Might Bite & Willoughby Court RIP)

Been looking at this again for this year, but coming up with similar names (prices with Betfair)

Melon - 10/1
Monalee - 10/1
Mengli Khan - 16/1
Penhill 5/1 (cowardly - I really want to put Black Op in here but a) i'm sketchy on failed chasers going back that season and b) the form of the Ballymore looks less strong this season)

12341/1
 
��WILLIAM HILL - we will not be going Non-Runner No Bet this year, we are paying extra places on all the handicap races and we have gone best odds guaranteed on all races at the Cheltenham Festival from now

Don't understand the logic?
