Cheltenham Bumper 2019

D0aPcxNW0AEjiqa.jpg
 
Just seen.

Paul Jones getting them out early.
 
If I was an owner with a decent bumper horse and my trainer didn’t enter in this I’d be fuming.
It was blatantly obvious that entries would be light and the race is winnable
Really lack imagination and finger on the pulse some of these yards
 
Only 2 Willie Mullins entries?? that has to be a record.
 
I've Sempo backed at 50-1 for this.
Delighted to see him entered.

Takes the sting out of a pair of nasty withdrawals this week....a tiny bit
 
Davy Russell was talking up Ask For Glory, hopefully Nicholls can persuade the owners to run him
 
...Barnes des Mottes an interesting selection from J Moore at a Preview Night.
 
Now then Kev, comment number 2 here. I am also on Meticulous, i think me and you could be good friends
 
Interested in seeing how Alright Sunshine gets on in 15 minutes. One I'd backed early in the season and written off being owned by the Rooneys so was a pleasant surprise to see him still entered. 2 from 3 in bumpers and the horse that beat him when he was giving weight has won since. Hopefully an Impressive win today and they might take a chance in such an open bumper this year.

Much better. Let's hope so.

Introduction... how long you been in to racing, fav horse, punting style.

Definitely going to enforce this although it might put people off

I'm an amateur when it comes to the horse racing game, i've only been into it for 4/5 years. I never win sod-all despite what research i put into it so i've signed up to FJ to sponge off you lads. Favourite horse at the moment probably has to be Laurina, she makes it look so easy and i'm backing her for the CH.

Did that nicely but found it hard to quantify what it found off the bridle due to the angle, cruised up lovely though

An excellent reason... the beauty of that is, we have so many opinions that one of us HAS to hit the target :highly_amused:

Welcome to the forum.

Apoligies everyone else...
Back to the bumper...

Yh certainly looks a bit green still, might be one for next season but happy to be on at 66s hopefully I get a run for my money.
