What was your biggest Cheltenham winning bet ever ?

Won about £170 on Bensalem at the festival a few years ago.

I've got a chance of lifting £810 on the first day with Willie Mullins. A Faugheen, Douvan and Un De Sceaux treble.

:encouragement: Nice one
 
My best bet that come in was an ew double wisper/silver concorde....small stake but kept me in play for the festival. Result.
 
Biggest return was Present View last year. Was all over him from 16s down, never looked in doubt from the stands, then I went back in the bar and **** myself watching the replay, thought he was going to be chucked out !! Had him in a nice EW double with Next Sensation in the Grand Annual, both at 16s. Still cursing Johnson for going of like a scalded cat on that one, but hey-ho !

Biggest price was Something Wells in the Plate in 2009. Had him ante-post at 33s and then topped up on the Tote - paid around 51/1 !! :)
 
Biggest single priced festival winner was Medinas @33/1

Biggest winning festival bet was an e/w lucky15 last year that included Whisper (25/1), Sire de Grugy (7/2) and Balthazar King (6/1)

Biggest missed chance was actually in the 2013 Aintree foxhunters when the other half wanted to put a fiver e/w on tartan snow (100/1). I thought I'd be caring and supportive of her novice gambling status and dutifully talked her out of burning £10 on a horse making up the numbers. I now cannot go through any festival without being retold how I cost her a 100/1 winner and how she is better at finding value than I am :sleeping:
 
My biggest win was at last year's festival. Had a win double on midnight prayer (16/1) and o'faighlens boy (16/1).

Hopefully Faugheen will blow that out of the water this year. He's the last leg of a each way treble at 5/1, having already bagged 16/1 & 18/1 winners. If Faugheen wins, Annie Power would be the last leg of a small 5 fold. I'm hoping for a great 40 minutes a week on Tuesday!

:encouragement: Nice to have then all together. Heard Annie is going to Mares and not World Hurdle in spite of the story from Cork Preview.
 
Yeah, I don't think AP would be trading as big as she is for the world hurdle if there was any substance to the rumours.
