Excellent bah humbug.As usual Eric my biggest bet of the year was on the going and I told everyone on here that the best bet I'd ever seen was the 7/2 on good ground - the race results were irrelevant after that came in, though I still won 3 out of the 4 days. yawnhttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/29001545/back-to-nags-winning-the-gold-cup?post_id=517618795#517618795As usual Eric my biggest bet of the year was on the going and I told everyone on here that the best bet I'd ever seen was the 7/2 on good ground - the race results were irrelevant after that came in, though I still won 3 out of the 4 days. yawnFri, 16 Mar 2012 16:49:21 -0500I underestimated the horses ability to go with them and hearty congratulations to connections. I hope it doesn't sound like sour grapes but had the race been run as it has in recent seasons then I think he would at best have been second.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/29001545/back-to-nags-winning-the-gold-cup?post_id=517617299#517617299I underestimated the horses ability to go with them and hearty congratulations to connections.
