Cheltenham 2019 Ante-Post bets

I’ve cashed out on my JP McManus Lucky 31 of Le Richbourg, Ok Carroll, Sire De Berlais, Sir Eric & Stand Up & Fight for a £36 profit. After reading the stats on JP’s handicap record at the Festival by some very kind and thoughtful gentleman on this thread it backed up my own doubts. I had a gut feeling Le Richbourg, Sir Eric & SUAF will bomb

Brave man!

Not sure whether that was e/way? and what prices you had? But I can easily have them all placing if nothing else at the festival, so racking up the e/way multiples must have been a decent enough return to warrant keeping it. I just hope it doesn't bite you in the back side :)
 
I’m starting to regret it now but it was one of a few multiples I didn’t have much faith in....I’m really starting to regret it now :disgust:

You should regret that, cannot see any positives in cashing at all.
If you aren't going to leave bets like that to run then it's not worth placing them in the first place.

I had no faith in the Bet, I have another JP Lucky 63 with Champagne Platinum, OK Carroll, Defi Du Sol, Champ, Blue Sari and Josies Orders that I have more confidence in so it is what it is. I think JP will win 5-7 races but think Sir Eric, Sire De Berlais & SUAF will fail. I’ve re-invested my cash out on a WM Lucky 63 and a GB Lucky 31 so not wasted I hope
 
I’d rather have the cashed out one than this one if I’m honest

For £36 profit.....what’s the point? Is that £36 going to change your life for the better?
 
Got added and backed.

Kim muir
Tower bridge 20/1 NRNB
Carter McKay 20/1 NRNB
 
backed Belargus for Fred Winter a few weeks back at 28's AP.
Backed again at 25s NRNB 365.
Mark of 129 looks perfectly ok
And when I backed it last time I mentioned the race it won last time has a good reputation for good juveniles.
Think that the stamina test of the fred winter will suit.
Might possibly be a gambled on horse which would be encouraging but might also go relatively unnoticed.
Might not run as no idea of target but looks an obvious type to try the fred winter.

no worries, watch his last run, looked useful for a 129 rated horse
 
Willie watch!!!!

2 more unplaced today. The fav in the first went off 6/5 was beaten 22L. Only other runner ran in the second race went off 11/2 and fell at the last when beaten (both jockey and horse looked to get up ok, which was good news) and was looking like she was a moderate 4th and struggling for a place, Again Im just pointing out coz of the distance his horses are being beaten when they are short in the betting, think it's worth highlighting the current stable form, though as mentioned before its a smallish sample size, which is growing.

Since Dublin he's had 15 runners 1 winner at 8/13, 14 losers, 3 x PU. 1 x Fall and others were beaten 17L, 23L, 17L, 96L, 4L, 23L, 85L, 6L, 31L, 22L

Forms looks decent aswell. If he can jump aswell again.

I like elysees and fanfan du seuil. But cant get a decent price on either unfortunately.
 
Billy, on the market price Andalusa underperformed, but if you look at the winners ratings, he was entitled to beat her. 22l is more than probably expected, but hardly a big worry.

The other didn't look to have much form either?

Is this not due to the fact WM is still running mostly his summer horses or horses that act on better ground, in which at this time of year coming up against better horses from other yards.
