Cheltenham Specials....

loveracing - http://sports.williamhill.com/bet/en-gb/betting/e/10708424/sp/Day+17+Cheltenham+Countdown.html

If you go into horse racing > special markets > cheltenham festival specials

Top marks for everyone who got on that Charli Parcs special without distance. I've just had a point on. Every chance Barry will go easy on the horse and won't win by the 5 lengths with the festival so close but worth the small stake risk (imo) to have 17/1 any race after today. Certainly would have been higher than 1 point if the distance wasn't involved!!

Thanks jono
 
It's the way my betting is going at the moment. Not sure he'd have won anyway
 
That bloke at Hills just got his job back!

May mean DDS goes for the Supreme now, and another AP voucher will go up in flames. :sorrow:

Puzzling run...looked all wrong for much of the race but then got himself looking right in contention just before falling. Think I agree though in that the winner was travelling the best and would have prevailed.

I'm not sure they'll be splitting them up anymore myself. As good as Charli Parcs was on debut and however highly thought of, it's hard to be too confident now on him winning going into the festival. Splitting DDS and CP if both had leading fancies made sense but now there are big question marks on Charli Parcs I'm sure they'll play it safe and have both go for the Triumph if he still goes, especially as it is Henderson's preferred route. JP's strong hand in the Triumph isn't actually that strong anymore with the O'Brien horses disappointing (though landofhopeandglory wasn't as bad as the result looks today)

DDS and maybe CP (if he doesn't skip Cheltenham) for the Triumph
Movewiththetimes and Consol de Thaix for the Supreme?
 
I think they'll keep CP for Aintree after that run.
 
WH - Lizzie Kelly (Tea For Two) To Be Placed In The 1st 4 In Cheltenham Gold Cup - 16/1

BF - Death Duty (Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle) & Carter McKay (Champion Bumper) Both To Win 16/1
 
PP - Moon Racer (Supreme) and On the Fringe 16/1
 
WH - Bristol De Mai (GC) and The New One (Any race) both to place 15/1

Betfair - OTF and UDS both to win 15/1
 
For those who still possess a Betfair Sportsbook account that is a decent offer.
OTF is trading around 6/4 and UDS around 3/1 so to press that to 15/1 is OK...
 
I like that offer too Ista and they havent closed mine yet

Potential to be shorter nearer the time. Was there much 'buzz' around UDS today?

The quote I saw was "Un De Sceaux settling down as he gets older, can't see the trip of the Ryanair being a problem."

Aye, first special this year I'm actually going to dabble in
 
Do many of us fancy this?
 
Ive put a fiver on it Ryan :encouragement:
 
Thats my only problem with backing it, OTF could hold me back from a bit
