Another day, another race where jockeys give away a soft lead then seem shocked when they can't reel it back in on the ground.

Was identical to the mares hurdle

They've gone no gallop at all and the rest of the jockeys just sitting there

First and 2nd all the way round
 
Massive congratulations to Leman14

Also, Lobos for being bullish about him the other week :applouse:

It's going to be a tough ask for myself to not to end up with a loss, the way things are going.
 
Absolute shocker from davy russell, Paul Townend following Davy and just ignoring the first two up front. Ryanair boss was right should have stayed in retirement :cower:

Stage Star was very good and it was nice to see Nicholls win a big one at the Festival again, as much as I wanted Potter to do it.

Mighty Disappointment. :sorrow:
 
Ouch! my poor pocket! worst part is its just killed my place pot and I was adamant today was the day.

Oh well.

That's the Cheltenham roller coaster for you, hopefully we'll have a few highs after the free fall in the first. :jaded:

Giving the best jockey in Britain and Ireland that easy of a lead probably not very sensible

Excellent ride good horse

Thought Appreciate it was coming to win but he started hanging badly, maybe picked up a niggle when he made that mistake

No excuses I can see for potter, jumped well just not good enough

Yep agree with all that

I thought my Placepot was still running as well.....then I remembered there were only 7 runners :upset:

Some finish to the Pertemps! Half the field with a chance come the last
 
What a great ride :applause:

Reckon we’ll be hearing some hard luck stories from those in behind.
 
great race, handicapper will be pleased with that bunch finish.
 
So close for Salvador Ziggy and a rocket boost for my week, but beaten fair and square.
 
They must've gone slow again

They were properly stacked up

So that was a remarkable performance to come from last
 
Been a tough start so far. Good Time Johnny one of many on the list but you can't back them all can you? A reminder to myself to stay disciplined today, has all the makings of a difficult one.
 
I seem to be doing last year in reverse. Got off to a flyer Tuesday but it's been difficult since. Very little interest in the Ryanair financially.
 
shishkin didn't look like a horse that wants it in the parade ring to me, hope he proves me wrong
