Cheltenham Gold Cup 2020

Backed one here the other day as the definition of a ‘bet to nothing’. Sizing John is wildly overpriced here NRNB if running any sort of race at the Dublin festival. He won’t run if he runs poorly you’d imagine but will be a much shorter price if he runs a big one next month. 50/1 just seems like a bet to nothing knowing he won’t be much bigger as a previous winner and you can cash if you wish or if he doesn’t run, get your money back anyway.

Had a point each way at 50s with Bet365 with full cashout and NRNB.

I'd already backed him but when I saw 365 didn't cut him when they went nrnb I cashed out for full return and replaced the bet.
 
Delta Work entered in the Cotswold Chase on Saturday at Cheltenham, yippee, come on over.

Santini, Bristol De Mai, Slate House, De Rasher Counter, Mister Whittaker, Top Ville Ben, Alpha Des Obeaux, Ex-Patriot.

This could be a good fit for Delta Work, get Davy on board too.
 
The 15/8 wont last long on Santini. Will surely go off heavy odds on by Saturday. May get 2/1+ when the others price the race up, only Hills pricing at the moment.

I wont be backing a Henderson horse antepost though its probably a very good bet.

...100-1 with PP to win both Gold Cups.
 
Presenting Percy will not run in the Galmoy, will instead run in the Irish GC
 
Thank you Muswell for posting the link on Road to Respect being out for the season. I got my cash back from PP before they woke up. A favourite of mine so sorry to hear.
 
Yeah a shame a horse who doesn’t get the credit he deserves for me
 
Just a quick stat in case anyone fancied Presenting Percy for the Dublin racing festival or for this
It is now a full year,365 days since Trainer Pat Kelly has had a winner
88 consecutive losing horses

Noted, but they said the same about Jim Culloty just before Lord Windermere won his Gold Cup...

I don’t think lord Windermere would be winning this gold cup if he were still around
Definitely one of the worst gold cups I can remember
Lucky to keep it too
