Ground of the festival?

Seen a pic from racecourse this morning. Was -3 and very cold but looked stunning, fingers crossed that’s how it stays. Obviously warms up a little

Going @CheltenhamRaces for The Festival is Good to Soft, Good in places. GoingStick; 6.4 on Wednesday at 10:00. #TheFestival
 
Heavy on the first day . As predicted . Racing post headline on the website. Simon Claisse has said it. Im not at all surprised .

He says: 'could feature the word ‘heavy’ in the run-up to the meeting'.

It's still 7/1 to be heavy and still odds on at 5/6 for the old favourite good to soft at the start of the Festival
 
Its forecast to rain all next week on top of the snow melt . That equals heavy in my book. I reckon that the turftrax will be 5.2 on the Tuesday.

If it's heavy maybe Samcro will go to the Supreme and I'll win enough to retire

That wouldn't be an outside chance of happening Coneygme. Then O'Leary could justify the switcheroo. After all he won at 2M on very soft easily. LTO.

No chance he goes here imo. However I'll be interested to look now and see if it gets cut as I just had £3000 on at 14/1 nrnb for a laugh.
 
There is absolutely no chance it will be heavy on Tuesday.

I don't believe it will. I also don't believe he'd go to the supreme anyway. But if he gets cut by 365 the algorithm might give me a 1k profit on the cashout. :highly_amused:

I would be astonished if they would let you have £30 on seeing as my max is £25!

In complete agreement, irrespective of the ground don't think he switches that said your point about the cashout option if his is cut is a great one, unfortunately I was just restricted to 25 GBP, you did well to get 3k on...haha!
 
If any owner or should I say corporation can do it then Giggi can. and have no qualms about it. How about Samcro -Supreme and Getabird -Ballymore. After his LTO win , WM said ' I'm surprised at the speed he showed us(over 2M on very soft going)we thought he was better over further'. It' s not beyond Getabird going for the Ballymore if Samcro switches to the Supreme.

I'm not putting a bigger ammount on. That's huge enough to me. But id be interested to see what the max bet would be and what happens when the price changes.

My opinion is mainly based on what appeared to be the connections gamble on Samcro for the Ballymore (16s into 8s) a week or so before his first race this season.
 
Small change could do that . If the faces are on. I just have a feeling that this could be the usual blindside that happens now at the Fez.
