Cheltenham 2020 - Ante post bets

Unless they rejected the place prize-money, I doubt that even Rumpole would take the case.

Yep
Was thinking from a bettors POV, as to be expected.
Bronze is bronze
 
Both my Mark Howard’s OJA and Paul Ferguson’s Jumpers to Follow arrived today.....the wife and kids may find it easier to use the neighbors toilet for the next few days than ours

KP, I would be grateful for any words of wisdom from Mark Howard that you can pass on.
My OJA hasn’t arrived yet, and I am off to the Peak District on holiday from midday Friday, so I am going to be a week waiting to read my own copy. :grumpy:
 
Received mine today.

Fly Smart and Jon Snow are Ricci’s horses to follow. Fly Smart probably gets the better write up from Howard.

Ricci gives the impression that Min will stay at two and they will stretch Chacun Pour Soi out.
 
Does he say it in the same way he said your namesake was Gold Cup or nothing? :highly_amused:

Thanks for the updates though, I only ordered it yesterday evening so haven't received it yet.
 
I will do HF. I’ve only had a quick glance through and a number of horses mentioned have already appeared in many of these threads already but I’ll post up the main selections tomorrow. It’s the first time I’ve bought OJA but there is lots of information in there from what I’ve seen so far

If you’re copy hasn’t arrived by the time you leave tomorrow I’m happy to take pictures of the pages of his top 40 prospects and what’s app them you if you want to private message me your mobile number
 
Be absolute madness if they keep Min at the Champion Chase route and send Chacun down the Ryanair route
 
As it’s Mark Howard’s livelihood to produce these books, I think it’s only fair that large amounts of information are not shared here. The outlay for the book is reasonable and has received many positive endorsements from posters who purchase it every year.

i would second that really.

Too early to worry about things like that, back what you think, and most importantly keep an eye on the odds off PP/ BFSB. And you wont go far wrong.
 
I agree with your sentiments lads, I only offered to send information to HF personally as he stated he has already purchased the book but it may not arrive in time before he departs for his holiday tomorrow.

Or even if PP/BFSB have the horse priced up. I might be being overly cynical but I remember they only added Cilaos Emery to their Arkle market in January or something stupid and I see the two Ricci horses haven’t made their Supreme market just yet...surprise surprise

Thank you KP. I know my wife will want us to be on the road by 1pm, so I will send my contact details if I am out of luck with the post.
 
Anyone got any thoughts on Blackbow for this season?

I’m thinking he might be an Albert Bartlett type if he’s over his injury. Anyone know what best price any race is. The 14s with Skybet looks vaguely reasonable for a free bet.
 
Bet365 have a horse called Zero Ten listed in their Champion Bumper market, 200/1

A Toronado descendant currently in Aus that has finished dead last in all three runs over 5f. Is there another horse by this name or is this the most left field request a bet ever seen?
