Channel 4 coverage on TVN!!!!!!!!!!
You lot are in for an absolute treat, this is racing coverage at its best, thank fck we
finally get some fair dinkum coverage here at last, I am fkn amped!
What to look out for on day 1-
The roar as they com out on the track for the Supreme Novices (R1)- this is the race that decides the champion first
season hurdler over the calssic hurdlers distance of 2m- it's a race that should theoretically throw up the future
Chamipn Hurdlers' Willie Mullins tends to bombard the race and have an untested false fav. who has been hacking up
on soft tracks in Ireland. Look for the master himslef Dermot Weld to go close with Galileo's Choice but any 1 of 8 could win.
The Arkle and the Champion Hurdle make up the other 2 Championship races on day 1- a day for the speedsters, (in broad terms stayers race over 3m plus while the speed horses race over 2m. )
The Arkle is not a vintage renewal but nevertheless there are some high class jumpers on display who will run and gun over 2 miles- a jumping display which is nothing short of breathtaking.
Hurricane Run goes off odds on as a winner of 12-14 over hurdles and the defending Champion hurdler, the 2010 winner Binocular will expose any soft underbelly the reigning Champion may have in only his 2nd run of the season.
Finally, don't miss the cross country and go no further than Edna Bolger the Bart ****s of this niche jumping division. In Nina Carberry
you have the finest female jockey ever to sit on a racehorse in my opinion.
Sit back and enjoy the Festival that all UK racing purests put head and shoulders above the 1 our Caviar will be gracing in June

I thought Cheltenham was in South Australia, seems a crazy time to be having races on a course that has been closed for years.

It's Karma, you should never back SIZING AUSTRALIA nor should ure buddy, MAX 
which horsies should I be investing my new found bags of Sterling on tonight , TF?
I was hoping you'd tell me Spoon...
FWIW i shall be backing Monksland in the second.
I shall be opposing the fav in the third [RCA chase]as although he travels quite strongly during a race i think he might be the sort to empty quickly once under pressure.
Instead i will take a chance with Lambro at a big price.
The big race today is the Champion chase and Sizing Europe cannot be opposed.
Ridden by a good friend of mine 'Sizer' is head and shoulders above anything else in the race.
HTH

Right on the money with Sizing Europe farrier, have followed this horse from day 1 and only time he hasnt delivered was when he was clearly not right in the Champion Hurdle.
Just watching the races now, couldn't stay up past the Arkle, eyelid weights inevitably won over
The Arkle winner is as impressive a horse as I have seen since Denman won his Novice staying crown the year before he won the real thing. The horse jumps like a freak and no better man to look after him than Nicky Henderson.
little bit dirty I didnt lay Hurricane Fly in the Champion, arrogant to only give him the 1 run on at flat Leopardstown on a soft track. Horse underdone.
Spoon, Si

Just watched the Arkle again, forgot Barry compared him favorably to Moscow Flyer after the race, wow.
Geez and Nicky who I know doesn't mind gushing genuinely thinks he may be a superstar. Start backing him for the 2013 QMCC now and call it a turbo savings account.
Pure athlete, only problem is the exuberance might lead to a fkn shocking fall while he is still such a novice.

Agree with you regarding SS btw absolute monster.
Match between him and Sizer next year.

Well only had 2 antepost bets and 1 of them is Join Together in the Sun Alliance, seems to be going the right
way and liked the way he jumped and stayed on up the hill in his trial. Respect the fav. though.
Tempted to break the 'odds on back something for a place instead' rule for S Europe.
I'll have a bit e/way on Nina in the 1st. Haven't kept up with the form enough this season and already given
myself the fkn rev up to not do the same thing again next year!
Reckon Kauto might just go out with a massive bang on Friday, still remember so clearly sitting at work wand watching
that Exeter race they showed last night.
Think I'll have a double Sizing/Grand Crus, gotta respect the fact they almost went GC route,reckon that the ghost of Gloria Victis may have swayed them to the novice route.

incredible the flucs within a market with 8 mill exchanged so far
gee I hope that photographer is ok..... talk about a close up
are the running rails designed to do that or was that a fluke he went through the rail
so "easily"?

They old wooden rails were nasty.
That final fence ****-up by the flag man was a disgrace wasn't it?

I don't know what the norm is over there but if they were waived around it because part of it
was down? Strange.
No-one ever stands and waves a little flag on a track here

Old rails and supports would have killed that rider I reckon , prob the horse too
Typical of the English.
Can't even be trusted to wave a fkn flag properly.

Just saw the slo mo, rail design ... fantastic. Hardly an issue with that , sprung back up.
Nothing wrong with the jump at all.... not sure why they thought the rail was a prob at all.

Won't be to upset if Big Bucks wins though..

yeah, thought that too, but the other one towed it's rider up to nearly draw level and he
decides to turn 45 degrees for no reason? Did he lose an iron?

Anytime a horse challenges BB he just pulls out a bit more so Andrew wanted to challenge wide of him but Ruby clocked this and pulled BB left at the final hurdle thats why Andrew then switched right to keep away from him.
Andrew actually gave her a brilliantly tactical ride she never knew she was in a race until the second last.

Fair enough, TF. You know the beasts, I don't. Was only dumbfounded by his actions near the
finish. The 1.80 seemed generous in hindsight when they mentioned it was his 16th
consecutive win???!!!
Mind you, if his opponents continue to feel the need to pull a circus/ rodeo stunt when they
travel up to him (on the bit), he has them bluffed and may win 50 straight. imo

I can understand why you would think that Spoon if it is the first time you saw him.
But you have understand that the horse is a freak,every year he goes to the last looking beat and
as soon as a horse arrives upsides him he comes back onto the bridle and starts laughing at them.
That fact that the mare only went 1.90 will tell you a lot about BB.
At least it shows that Jockeys are trying to figure out how to beat him.

Actually i think Andrew Lynch might have a decent chance of winning the first with HISAABAAT
although the Triumph is always a tricky race to get right.
Might be a job for your 'lucky pin'....

cancel the question. Just saw his record on TV
Two commentators said "the greatest jockey of all time" and "the greatest jockey has ever seen".
Gee, I'm ignorant..... never heard of him

ooops............. "the greatest jockey this country has ever seen".
Nice of you finally wake up Spoon.
That was Kautos last race..
Going ok today backed two 20-1 shots e/w second and third.
Next race is a nightmare and i go with 13.
Get to have a laugh at the amateurs at least!

Good stuff, amazing contrast to what we call jumps racing here. The "fox-hunters" race
Not even sure they'd let you name it that here

Once again, ignorant.... the trainer interviewed last night... Sir somebody had the "happiest" looking
horses I've ever seen (as a group). Trains from the Isle of Man? Looked like horse heaven.
He, himself, also looked like he could hardly contain a smile at all times... maybe it's contagious

Ignorance is bliss Spoon...
The Sir somebody you're referring to to is Sir Robert Ogdon,a self made billionaire.
He is not a trainer btw just an owner albeit a very good one who as you saw buys foals rears them until racing age which for a NH horse is four and then sends them to different trainers.
I think that piece of filming showed his pre-training base in the Isle of Man and the one in West Cork.
Quite impressive aren't they? a horse couldn't wish for a better start in life.
An absolute Gent by all accounts.
