Cheltenham 2020 - Ante post bets

One of the jockeys commented, 'It was a serious gallop with serious horses'.

QM, Ryanair and Gold Cup winners?:cool:
 
“Kemboy,*Chacun*Pour*Soi, Al*Boum*Photo, Blazer and Cadmium all went a mile and a half after*racing*and I was very happy with them,” said Mullins.

“It was a nice pipe-opener and great to get them all*a*day out. All the jockeys were happy with them.

“Ruby (Walsh) was on*Chacun*Pour*Soi, Paul (Townend) rode Al Boum Photo, Patrick (Mullins) was*on Kemboy and Brain Hayes rode Cadmium.

“We’ll try to get some more quality work into them before Christmas. Kemboy looked big, but he probably is that way anyway.”
Chacun looked to move very nicely in the gallop. Jessie had Sizing John out there too
 
Five o'clock runs tomorrow in a 2m5 maiden hurdle- have seen him mentioned on here (i think) and definitely on twitter.
 
Faugheen at 40s for the National Hunt Chase has to be the Ante-Post Bet of the year :D
 
Am I the only one that thinks Andy Dufresne is way overpriced at 20/1 for the Supreme. I was hugely impressed by his maiden win and think he is going to be a very hard horse to beat no matter where he turns up.

No, you are not. On the same slip. Post race Gordon commented on his pace, quick jumping and said the only reason he started at 2m5f is because he doesn't show much at home. Said he could go back but definitely not up. Interview here - https://www.racingtv.com/videos/watch/ondemand/79738

Hard to be too confident because its a bit of a jigsaw at the moment. JP has Andy Dufresne, Blue Sari and Unexcepted, all of which could be superb but haven't been properly tested yet. To complicate matters further, where Gordon campaigns Envoi Allen may effect where others are aimed.

Chantry house and elixir d'ainay havent recieved the hype of the above horses. And the same 3 always get mentioned or was 4 until dlauro bombed.

But I certainly think they're more than in the mix with those.

Sporting John could be another one who throw's his hat into the ring too

Does that surprise you though? Chantry House may prove in the fullness of time to better than that lot, but Blue Sari, Unexcepted and Andy Dufresne have all seen a racecourse so there is always going to be more hype/discussion about them, whether its deserved or not. Elixir D'ainay definitely overlooked, I proved that:)

The 3 (was 4), have imo, all won nothing races. Yet keep getting mentioned as if they're in a league of they're own.

Unexcepted received a load of weight and basically showed what a better horse with a light weight and hurdles experience does to avg ones without it.

Andy dufresne
Visually looked pretty good, time was poor, imo achieved less than elixir d'ainay

Blue sari
Recieved a load of weight in the bumper, diddnt jump that good first time up, but did it fine. I dont think he fell in myself, just think the gun wasnt put to his head

Chantry house bumper form and ptp form has worked out very well. We will see on friday.

Elixir d'ainay as said above, I think he achieved more on his seasonal debut than than the 3 you mentioned.
 
I cant see Envoi Allen staying over 2 miles, he is an out and out stayer in the making. I can see Blue Sari stepping up to 2m 4f, his turn of foot at the end of 2m 4f could see him run Envoi Allen close again if not beat him if he stays away from him and not go to race next to him, do him for a turn of foot.

For Unexpepted I don't buy into it at all, just not for me one bit. If Andy runs he will be fighting for favouritism.

JP owned Willie & Gordon trained winning hurdle debutantes are always going to be talked up as if they're in a league of their own regardless of form, whether it’s justified or not. I don’t think anyone could debate they won nothing races; the same way I don’t think anyone could debate they’ve all done what’s been asked of them well. I don’t think it really matters at this stage. Whilst Elixir d'Ainay’s form certainly has more shape to it with Longhouse Poet winning yesterday, I’d find it impossible to call who achieved more with Andy Dufresne winning with that much in hand.
 
Mrs Joanne Coleman double?

Klassical Dream
Lamarckise?

39/1 :triumphant:

Willie has said its back to 2m for Blue Sari moving forward, little chance of Ballymore

For the next run yes, his plan was to start at 2 and build up, but he had no choice but to run him over 2 1/2 1st time up.

I wouldnt say little chance myself, he could well go back up in trip when hes fully fit.
 
Has anyone heard much on Five O Clock who debuts for Mullins and Ricci tomorrow?
 
Might have been a bit wiser in April lol.
10/1 33/1

Nobody is wise in April.


Fast forward 8 months, only 1 of them had a run and it wad a defeat and they're now much shorter.




Ante post is dead Haha
 
Portrush Ted appears to be back after injury.

Already lost his maiden tag so be interesting to see if they try and get him a mark.
 
Could anybody help me with a technical question... I can log on fine when Im on my PC / laptop, but cant when trying on my ipad or iphone. Despite using the same log in details, it says it doesnt recognise them on those devices?

Its really annoying when Im travelling!

Thanks if anyone can help.
