    Day 3 Yankee - Nortonscoin200

    Sorry @robith - but love to hear the case anyway and maybe there's room for the alternative-far more exciting-day 3 yankee.

    Day 3 Yankee - Nortonscoin200

    Right, no more messing around - here we go. The Day 3 Fat Jockey yankee is: SIXMILEBRIDGE: (Jack Richards) 9-1 with 365, Lads, BFred, Victor, MGM He's a slick jumping trail-blazer who's been in terrific fettle this season. He's got course form and can give Fergal his first taste of Festival...

    Day 3 Yankee - Nortonscoin200

    Decision made: BOB OLINGER is team captain.

    Day 3 Yankee - Nortonscoin200

    Thanks a lot @Guinness Village - why do you think JDR is so far ahead.

    Day 3 Yankee - Nortonscoin200

    Decent shout Craigy - weights will almost inevitably rise making it harder. All of his wins this season have been on heavy but he's in the form of his life. Older horses do well in this and he ran well in the Coral Cup last year on good to soft (beaten less than 9 lengths). Sire Du Berlais...

    Day 3 Yankee - Nortonscoin200

    Apologies for dereliction of duty today but back on shift now till bedtime. All the balls are still up in the air, absolutely nothing has been decided so let's start taking a few boring boring Arsenal corners and find the back of the net. Here's the story so far - a list of the horses...

    Day 3 Yankee - Nortonscoin200

    One more thought before lights out. If we go rogue and take the Millstream Lady (40-1 Pertemps) route how about Protektorst at 25-1 in the Ryanair. Both nrnb with 365. Both have place prospects and throw in Sixmilehigh (10-1 nrnb JR also with 365) and you have the makings of a bet which gives...

    Day 3 Yankee - Nortonscoin200

    Sixmilebridge on the radar of @Eudipe and @Lobos and he's still 10-1 with 365. But I don't imagine that'll still be around at the weekend. He's the only horse I've backed for the race and his Cheltenham form this season looks strong. Including Sixmilebridge at that price would also give us...

    Day 3 Yankee - Nortonscoin200

    Thanks @ComplyOrDie - this one surely has to be on the short-list. Were we to include him on the team sheet maybe we should be looking at a win yankee rather than going each way. Thoughts anyone?

    Day 3 Yankee - Nortonscoin200

    Love the price @BuckingThe Trend and she's obviously in the form of her life. Got a decent weight too and assume she'll be claimer ridden again. Very exposed after 21 hurdle races and maybe that's the downside. Can she improve again off a mark of 136? But definitely one to consider, thanks a...

    Day 3 Yankee - Nortonscoin200

    Ok, let's get this show on the road. Great to be given a shot at FJ Festival yankee redemption after my total eclipse of the scoreboard in 2020. Big thank you to the crane for hauling my ball out of the swamp, to Kev for not ordering a redraw and Eggs for asking if I fancied going for gold...

    2026 Hunters Chase

    Agree with @Istabraq and @Eggs - they’re the two I’ve sided with. Panda Boy is such a tough competitor and he doesn’t seem to have lost any of his zest. He could outstay them all. And if there’s gonna be a new kid on the block Golden Son could well be the one. His level of form this season puts...

    Calling yankee managers.....

    Yes, I'm certainly up for it Eggs if required. But I did have a go once before and it didn't start or end well. Seem to remember the middle wasn't up to much either.

    Hi all, I've got a spare Club ticket for Gold Cup day if anyone needs one. I'm at the track today and tomorrow - any reasonable offer accepted. Cheers.

    Making the most of 6 and 7 places each way

    With Skybet 7 places on the Ultima and several firms 6 places on the Boodles I thought there might be a bit of scope for some fancy each way doubles involving long-shots. There will no doubt be similar extra places throughout the week so all sorts of combinations possible. I've just done an...

    Dark horses for Cheltenham 2021

    With the Festival less than seven months away - and serious action not too far over the horizon - maybe it's time to talk about some dark horses that could emerge as serious contenders next March. One that interests me is Cedarwood Road who was last seen winning a listed 2m novice hurdle race...

    Analysis - Previous Festival Form

    So how important will previous Festival form be in determining who wins at next year's edition? The answer is that more than half the races will probably be won by horses who competed at this year's Festival. If you ignore the Bumper, Triumph Hurdle and Fred Winter it's likely 10 of the other...
