Any reason for such a big price, came like a train late on after an early mistake in the race last year, i would have thought he would be alot shorter in price
Looked a different horse this year. Past his best?
 
No antepost for Cheltenham has been a habit for a few years now, but a mate of mine from poker that I'd spoken about this place to in the past asked me if I was still here.

I said that I didn't bet, but dropped in to wish everyone luck before the festival, and he asked if I'd post up a preview evening that he's hosting at his local pub. May be something that interest guys in the area.

I didn't see the thread up yet, so will chuck it up here and then drop back in before the festival to see if I can sweat some of your picks through the week and hopefully see you all get the lot!!

Anyone remember from previous years when all the handicap markets are put up on the betfair exchange? Roughly speaking
 
Mark Walsh turns 40 this March. Not many jump jockeys in their 40s. Wouldn't be the greatest surprise to hear he's retiring soon.
TBF he does look like all the years of keeping his weight down have caught up with him, it'll do him good to no longer have to watch what he eats.
