Cheltenham 2020 - Ante post bets

Allaho seemed to be staying on again yesterday at the finish, looks a 3miler to me and is a young horse. Another year to strengthen up should see him improve over this trip.
Carefully selected would be the obvious contender for the 4miler.
You would imagine next destination would be a rsa horse but after a season out injured nobody knows if he will retain all his ability
 
Really looking forward to seeing Chacun pour soi shortly. Ive taken a chance on him in the champion chase before this.
Glowing words from willie too on RTE

Well done KSS.

Let's hope he gets there in one piece.



Chacun Pour Soi / Min e/w double anyone :triumphant:
 
There were a nice handful of us on at 50/1 for the Arkle this year, think Folski mentioned him very early, HF defo liked him, scooby backed too...

Bittersweet when you (with hindsight) know he'd have won :highly_amused:



10s Any race seems fair enough..... if you don't mind tying money up.

Ultimately if Altior runs hes only going to be second fav but that is an IF
 
That was hugely impressive. Defi no shame in 2nd well clear of the rest.

Willie let slip before the race and spoke in even more glowing terms after...

Was a great performance from chacun there, feeling quite pleased with my 27/1 any race ticket for next year now :)
 
Gutted I missed the boat on Chancun, had a few quid on him tonight but this is the first time I’ve seen him run. Apart from a few erratic jumps during the middle of the race he travelled well and powered home. Was he classed as a Novice before this evenings win or had he already lost that status??

He lost that status, won by 31L on his chase debut for Mullins just before Cheltenham
 
I’ve got 25/1 Chacun doubled with
Delta Work 20/1
Paisley Park 7/2
Gypsy Island 8/1
A Plus Tard 20/1.

Not a bad start to the “Year of the Double” after last year’s “Year of the Yankee!” :devilish:

Some great bets there

Let’s pray he stays sound
 
Yeah that’s already looking an impressive list of Antepost bets CPC, let’s hope they get to the Festival fit and ready to run

Impressive.

Where did the idea come from to back CPS come from with those?

It's superb when one really shortens up... if Altior didn't run you'd be looking at some ridiculous bets!

UGH!

Had him at 66/1 for the Arkle.

Said Tuesday I should back him for QMCC at 50s and was so busy in meetings today, I got out of one at 6:40 missed the off and didn't back him for today or March.

Ouch.

At least you'll still get some kudos from me...

Although kudos from me doesn't put food on the table :highly_amused:
 
Heck of a performance on only his second start after a lengthy layoff. Fingers crossed they can keep him healthy into next year.

Surprised that Hills were so lax on not suspending the QM market and then keeping 25-1 available for a good minute after the race had finished.
