Cheltenham Bumper 2019

Had held off cashing out Energumene until 365 brought in NRNB, but it's not effected the value at all.

That combined with no entries means I'm finally pulling the trigger on it tonight

I done exactly that. Got 50s and 33s now so can go back in if entered anywhere
 
can't see any bumper entries for Mullins for next wednesday or thursday's cards.
Do you think he's misplaced them all.
 
He's called quits on the Cheltenham bumper horses i believe....Go with what he has (minimal) if there's some rain around, i'd say Punchestown will have some even tastier bumpers!

Probably explains the significant support for Blue Sari then over the past week.

I'm coming round to the opinion he might be a right weapon ...

Wasnt keen and I don't have fancy prices but maybe they know he's really good?

Honestly have no idea on this race myself. Aside from Energumene who is now a NRNB chance and Malone Road :grumpy: at a decent price I have no real view on it.

Blue Sari certainly made an impression and maybe on the day I'll have a go, but aside from that it's not a race that excites me a whole heap.
 
.....I suppose there’s a chance one or two winners might come from this side of the Irish Sea or from a smaller stable, including here.

Or from Colin Tizzard ;)

.....yep, that would be acceptable.

I’m reminded of Mark Pitman being interviewed before the Festival some years ago. Pitman was asked why he looked so happy and he said he’d just been working his 100-1 Bumper horse. It won a few days later @50-1.

Understandably, the concentration is on Mullins, Elliott and Co but there might just be one out there that is under the radar because of who trains it. Obviously this applies to a lot of races.

what exactly was said abut andy d bobby.?
got good cash out terms
 
Sorry I should clarify - assumed we were all looking - “Doubtful he will run at Cheltenham -GE”
#AskGordon
 
cheers
can see it now, been having my tea.
looks doubtful, like he's not been given nod, but not a definite. i'll leave it for now.
like most of his other answers = match most of my bets nicely.
 
.....i’m still keeping an eye on GEs Fury Road for this, it’ll be all down to if and how it runs on Sunday.

Gordon said on that Betfair q and a that it will go in a bumper in the coming weeks, be nice if it is this sunday
 
I’ve had a decent NRNB bet at 25s on Fury Road - no brainer really....
