Cheltenham 2020 - Ante post bets

[BigChaang]

This isn't relevant or that exciting but.... I've jsut changed the format that 'dates' are displayed from previous posts, so instead of the annoying US Month-Day-Year

We now have it written out.... go back a few pages and look :applause:

I like it ... You'll have to have a poll i think ??:applause:

Best thing you’ve ever done that Kev
Old way used to annoy me.

You’re gonna change it back now aren’t you ? :highly_amused:

Been away all weekend so just catching up with things.

I notice B365 have BDD, EA, PP and Tiger Roll priced up at 18/1. Best price 14/1 elsewhere.

 

[moneymurdoch]

Ladbrokes have enhanced double Champ (RSA) and Appreciate It (Bumper) at 15/1 (or 16/1 with boost).
Best price on Oddschecker 11/1

Ok the three horses that i seem to of argued the most for on here and feel like im swimming agains the tide with (most members not all) and I accept its a price thing as all bets are:

Champ -RSA
Solo - Triumph
Ferny Hollow - Bumper

Think we've pretty much done or doing these to death, but here I go.
Despite Champs far from ideal prep I still dont think hes a "bad" jumper, hes certainly not perfect but I do strongly believe if he gets round without any major mistakes he will win.
Solo I was blown away with how he powered up the straight and as mentioned elsewhere the stable knows what its got and the money looked significant before the off and since, the 4/1 looked a great bet to me as I argued over the weekend. Indeed the 4/1 has gone now and he is really a 3/1 shot (10/3 with BFSB if anyone can actually bet with them) so although this doesn't mean the 4/1 was a great bet, I think im allowed to claim it as a moral victory lol. I dont like the ones at the head of the market and been waiting for something to shake this up. Worth considering that Joseph and Willie would have a few potential superstars in here which are missing this year so it might be a weaker renewal, although that is far from certain and we wont find out till the race.
The last selection Ferny Hollow has been underestimated slightly coz hes been getting beaten. He has been pulling far too hard and not giving himself much chance of getting home. I still believe that his run at Leopardstown behind Forged in Fire might turn out to be the strongest piece of form when he was giving 7lb to that horse (coz of Bashfords claim). Id imagine Patrick will ride Appreciate it and hopefully Codd will take the mount on Ferny although i havent heard as much but it would be an upgrade in my opinion. Ferny did seem to be still learning when he won last time out and still looked a shade green but its hoped he will of learnt plenty and the strong 2 mile pace of the champion bumper will be to his advantage. He does need to settle though and if he can I think he will win.

So what im getting round to is its Trico time (ew)!!!!! I do very few multiples but no point in wasting time arguing for a horse on here if I aint going to put my money where my mouth is so here goes!!!!

Champ RSA 3/1
Ferny Hollow BUMPER 8/1
Solo TRIUMPH 3/1

*all profit from the bet are earmarked for Vegas, if my misses lets me......

‘Mick Pastor and a Wave of the Sea probably lack the quality for the Triumph and have too much weight for the Handicaps.’

‘Champ is a classy individual, and touch wood his jumping seems to have sharpened up.’

Sorry if in the wrong thread, but I’ve just learnt of SkyBet only doing money back offer of £10 on the Supreme only, heartbroken as I’m lucky enough to have friends and family let me use theirs so can have a lovely free bet 1st race each day. Gutted!!

Me and my mates had actually discussed this after last years festival and thought this might be the case this year. They had a hard time of it last year with Klassical Dream and Defi winning. Gutted myself as it's bookie offer of the year just in front of free each way for the National that 365 offer.

Betway are another who usually do £10 first and last race but money back as free bet. Unfortunately they've taken a dislike to me this past year.

Bazza keeping a straight face whilst critiquing Champ's jumping - wouldn't want to play poker against him!

Appeal successful

Makes you wonder why Skelton did not appeal against Marracudja’s rating

I'm most small time punter in the world and they restricted my account within 6 months. It hadn't even won any money

Just posted about this, hadn't seen it mentioned.

It's Any Race, and it is NRNB too.

I do want a piece of it, even though I'm resigned to history telling me one will get beaten, I fancy them all and it's better value than doing it yourself...

I had similar they don’t like people who take their offers rather than just shovel money at them

I like that double Kev, I thought Two for Gold did well behind Copperhead and the extra mile may be more in comfort zone before the final 2 furlong dash in the 4 miler.
