Weekend Racing

I'd like to publicly thank Mr R M Beckett.
excellent form at Newmarket :)
 
Butte Montana 8-1 PP in bumper tomorrow.
With this being fergal's only runner and him having last two winners of this race.
And him having a treble at cheltenham today.
And when this was entered the other day I'm sure it was heavily backed (might be wrong on this)
Is a good bet. I reckon.
 
that didn;t last long with paddy's
 
Eagerly awaiting Soviet Pimpernel to run up the hill

And L.31 at Cheltenham ,, -1.- Torpillo - 2-35.
2.- Blue flight - 3-00.* Kelso .
3.- St calvados - 3-10.
4.- Some chaos - 4-10.
5.- Pym - 4-55.
Good luck to y'all.
 
(Obviously) I've backed Saint Calvados to win today.

First time up last year he had Footpad beaten all ends up before that crumbled at the last. If he can do that, he can win a handicap giving weight to some pants horses, right? :highly_amused:




Not got any other bets today as it stands, I'm on New Zealand to win the RWC as part of a 6 pronged multi-sport accumulator and that hasn't started well, although I'm sure many on here want England to win anyway :very_drunk:
 
West Approach has been slashed in the market :highly_amused:

He was hammered (or cut) for that Bet365 Gold Cup and didn't win that.... a lot of people wanting there money back gone in again?


Some gamble! (probably)
 
Saint Calvados doesnt like Cheltenham and stands little chance trying to make all carrying top weight here. Vaniteu ew at 33/1 is the smart bet.

Wouldn't argue with that, certainly isn't a good value bet (Saint Calvados)

but I am obliged to back him regardless. A heart over head bet :highly_amused:
 
As for Footpad he made about 6 mistakes some of them bad before falling. He was giving the Saint weight as well and still had half a chance of reeling him in befire falling.

Awesome Performance by England to beat the Kiwi's !!.:triumphant:
 
I'm on Saint Calvados as a max bet

Why, because the rest of the field are hopeless. I can't pick out anything that will be able to keep up with Saint Calvados who has had the pace to lead an Arkle and Champion Chase. I don't think Cheltenham suits him, and always thought the hill would catch him out, however I'm hoping the wind op will help and prevent any of these lot taking advantage

Another year old, expecting to see him reach his peak as a 6-7 year old

Has the same sort of feel when Fox Norton turned up in this race, and bolted in

I've seen far worse 3/1 shots
