Cheltenham 2019 Ante-Post bets

300k ptp winner. With very good form. Very highly thought off by previous the handler.
He's a very nice horse.

But is there a quote that he’s Nickys best or is that your opinion as he’s expensive?

I didn't think to take a price for the Ultima.

Not complaining though... don't need many 18/1 winners to have a good day :highly_amused:

It's my opinion on the horse himself. The price only reflects his quality

"This is the last horse William [Codd] bought for me," When he died, Alexander rang me and told me this horse would take time but that he knew exactly the right man to train him.

"I'd never met Cian at this point but Alexander assured me he'd treat the horse like a Gold Cup winner. He's done exactly that and I really can't speak highly enough of him.

"I said to Cian that William had told me this was a serious horse, and the first thing Cian said to me was 'all owners say that', but it didn't take long before he rang me back to say 'you're right, he is a serious horse'."

"He's gone to a great owner so they'll look after him. It was a good price but he has the engine to match. He's one to look forward to."



******
The French raider however today, may or may not be a very nice horse too. The champion bumper is his target if he wins today. As per connections...

I know about the horse, what I was missing was the quote that Nicky said he’s the best he has. Now I know it’s just your opinion it’s all clear.

Added rise and dine champion bumper 33/1 nrnb

If he dosent win today he won't run.

It's a very good race today. Best of Nickys, very close to the best of Paul's. Alan kings nice ptp winner ... very strong race.

please say when you know fact or whether its just your own opinion so that people aren't looking through the posts for a quote from trainer for example
 
The point he was going well in looks very hot to be fair. A lot of big money buys + Opposites Attract ran a great debut race.

More than welcome to skip past.

Added mister Whitaker ultima 20/1 NRNB

Done this one a while back, on the basis of him being a previous festival winner, but no run over 3m for the race means he'll have to beat the trends.
 
Cashew King said:
No - only handicap entry is the Ultima

Hadn't noticed.

People were going over board saying he could be a gold cup horse but the step up should be within his grasp.

Good bet CK

Yeah - I think the Dams usually a good source of Stamina. Regarding the Plate I’ve had a stab at Happy Diva - same form lines as Mister Whitaker - again, only handicap entry so pretty sure it’s the target. 18s with the boost at Laddies.

That would be the reason to back him. Unexposed at the trip and crying out for it.
