Cheltenham 2015 Antepost Bets

  • Thread starter Thread starter Yeehaa
  • Start date Start date
As the boss ;) I have decided the official Fat Jockey Antepost Yankee for 2015 will be picked by 5:00 pm on Friday 27/02/2015. That gives us a chance to see handicap weights.

The Yankee will pick one horse from each day with the final decision being made by :

Champion Day Tuesday: Mayo
Ladies Day Wednesday: Love Racing
St Patricks Thursday: Paz
Gold Cup friday Friday: MrMcGoldrick

We need Paz to confirm - I would suggest MG if he doesnt want to do it.

I will set up threads for each day ( or work ahead if you wish ) and hopefully we can get more people involved. We might collectively unearth a gem or two.

Just a bit of fun but I would really love it if this worked :)
 
Ok lets get this ball rolling for the members to start studying.

I nomintate the following races for Day 1.

Race 1. Supreme Novices Hurdle
Race 2. Festival Handicap Chase
Race 3. National Hunt Chase
Race 4. Novices Handicap Chase

OV - do you want to start the threads in the comp forum?

Moved you to Wednesday :)
 
I know it's just for fun but I'll certainly be covering the selections, would hate to have them laid out on the forum then watch them win and not have a penny on

No Coral Cup LR :p

That's always a good race to get a big priced winner from...
 
Just realised my f**k up!

Please ignore my moronic previous post
 
Absolutely!

I'm going to take a stand here and say it's OV's fault for switching you from Wednesday to Thursday ;)

Would you prefer the Kim Muir over Ryan Air?

I think we should at least have the WH in Day 3 seeing it's wide open this year.

No I'm very happy with the Ryanair as it is possibly another one of the most open races at the festival, particuarly as the favourite cannot win left-handed
 
Not sure I wanted to be front runner either :)

LR you are up for Wednesday not Thursday.:rolleyes:

Catch up 2mrw.
