Cheltenham 2020 - Ante post bets

I don’t believe all trainer / owner comments should be near the bottom of the pile but just MY opinion

As for asking Scooby what price he thinks AM would be in the Foxhunters, its fair from unfair?

I think it would be bigger than 25/1 as a race target is NORMALLY higher than the any race market looking at them, I would have thought 33/1 at least would be its price in the Foxhunters as of now?
Scooby may have another race in mind hence he asked for Any Race Price?

Not into beating people up......I’m a Punter, not a Fighter :highly_amused:

scooby's trying to outfox the traders paz.
if he's going hunter chasing theres only one race he can run in.
the traders have fallen for it before

Correct. If you ask for the foxhunters. They know hes a 150 horse, and you just dont know what price they will give. Ask any race they think your a bit of an idiot who just likes the horse and he might run in the ultima or something. Or nowhere at all. And throw out 25s/ 33s.

In all reality. I don't know what price they would give for the fox hunters. But if you risk it, and they give 14s / 16s . All the rest will follow.
 
Carefully Selected
To make that mistake and recover , wow
Great ride by DM , switched picked up
 
be worth listening out for injuries on carefully selected.
thought he jumped ok on the whole.
 
Chevelry Park rolling double down. Ferny tomorrow with Envoi Allen (Ballymore ) 10/1
 
Thanks Sean

I was Kalashnikov’s nose away from getting a 20/1 rolling double on EA so desperate to get more on side at a fair price. Maybe I should just be happy with the 10/1 single I have but feel he won’t be a back able price after tomorrow.
 
I was in Kazakhstan last week so only just watched upping the ante. Jennings makes some odd race selections doesn't he. City Island for the Arkle which I would say is unlikely in favor of the JLT, and Thyme Hill for the Ballymore when you'd be thinking the Albert Bartlett looks possibly more winnable. I never pay much attention to his tips anyway but when the world's your oyster why tip horses that could go anywhere vs horses that have clearer targets. Long way to go but if the Ballymore shapes up anyway near as strong as predicted I think Hobbs would be mad not to have a go at the Albert Bartlett.

But, no entry for Saldier!
 
I know some in here have liked Nube Negra since going chasing.....him vs Torpillo vs Summerville Boy could be a match up!......hard to split the first two for me

Jack, correct, I am one of the fans of Nube Negra chasing over 2 Miles. I see he is being backed for the Henry VIII Grade 1 on Saturday.

None of them get my juices flowing looking towards March, reading every line on here though I know plenty will think Nube Negra is going to be the one to beat in that.

Good race, just not one that will affect the festival finishes (unless they sneak into a Grand Annual or Close Bros) :highly_amused:

C’mon Kev. It might, you can’t completely dismiss it. Any horse rated over 150 come the Tues of the Festival has a chance in the Arkle, and anything rated over 155 has a good chance. Fakir and Laurina look very good but one or both might go JLT. I wouldn’t be surprised if this group (and Mister Fisher) prove to better than Al Dancer and Getaway....
