Cheltenham Bumper 2019

Don’t believe he was mentioned no, if he was I was missed it too!

I wouldn't beat yourself up about it.

If you're told a horse won't run you should cash out if you can.

He didn't say he might not run, he said he won't.

The majority of the time you'd now be sat on a non runner and have lost your stake.


I don't want Envoi Allen to win because if it, but the decision making was right in my opinion ...

I have the option to back him now, I don't think I will .... that may be the first mistake I've made with him.

I can’t go back to him now either. As things stand this will be the only race of the week I won’t have an antepost bet riding on it.
It’s quite liberating in a way and means I can look at the Racing Post on the Wednesday with no preconceived biases!
Who am I kidding, I’m not even convincing myself that it’s an advantage :highly_amused:
 
....Barnes des Mottes a strange one in this. No noticeable form that I can see, although won it’s only start, yet a big disparity in price with likes of PP only going 16-1 nrnb.

I backed the JoB favourite (Front View) in that race - was brought down in a bit of carnage on the home bend. Seemed to be going as well as the winner when it came down but too far out to tell much. BdM did put the race to bed in decent style but not sure what it beat.

...cheers, I noticed one of the ‘experts’ tipping it (“if it runs”) on a Preview Night so I assume there are positive reports, but it’s only a 4 year old so perhaps it’s not certain to go.

I was half asleep listening to FFP last night, did Harry mention Ask For Glory?

Nicholls has a job to convince the owner to let him run


Paul Barber thinking long ?
 
Paul said this weekend that Paul Barber doesnt want to run in flat races!!!!!
 
No Eden Du Houx, Barnes Des Mottes or Mt Leinster in the Bumper.

Surprised & disappointed to see Eden Du Houx not running, had been talked up at several preview nights.
 
Nicholls said it would be one of Ask for Glory or Flic running here.

The trainer of AFG would need convincing to run as he didn't like to.

Telling enough for me that PN's has won the battle.

He said it would be entered anyway.

He did? I thought he said it was between the 2, and he'd have to get convincing. Only one left in, but i'll listen again in case i've interpreted wrong.
