Celestial Halo at 12s in 2008.
The last leg of an ante post trixie with Captain Cee Bee at 10s and Albertas Run at 33s. Picked up just shy of 16K. A great days racing featuring Denman/Kauto Mk I. The best atmosphere I've experienced at the races bar none. |

Good few years back (99) on Celtic Giant of Len Lungo's in the Fulke Walwyn/Kim Muir Amateur race.
Bet it at 33's and 25's...Bruce Gibson sent it out in front and was 30 lengths cleat at one point. Came home well ahead of the field. Bet it at 4's to win small Novice Hurdle one day at Ayr (Fri of Scottish National meet) from memory and watched for it after that. |

Was going to write Exotic Dancer, but the horse that really knackered my Festival antepost doubles & trebles that year (2007) was Ashley Brook falling at the last fence in the Champion Chase. Had he just stood up and finished 3rd I would have won a significant amount - but he didn't.

Read that thread completely wrong - thought it said lost you the most money!
My biggest winner was SPIRIT RIVER last year, with BUENA VISTA a close 2nd. |

By:
Forpadydeplasterer - Arkle Chase (backed him at all rates starting after he ran in the old Royal and Sun Alliance Hurdle when beat by Fiveforthree)
Denman - Gold Cup (bet him a year in advance of the race and just kept putting more on) Denman - Royal and Sun Alliance Chase (had biggest horse bet ever on him in this race) Moscow Flyer - Champion Chase (bet him big both times, also bet him big the year he unseated too) Weapons Amnesty - Royal and Sun Alliance Chase (good ground, 3 miles, he was a good thing, because he was getting beat on soft ground in Ireland the price stayed nice and big) when does the horse that has lost you the most money at the festival go up  |

Collier Bay in the CH. Backed at 20/1 ante post and again on the day. I backed the Supreme winner £5 at 25/1 that day to give me some more ammunition for CB. Ventura Canyon denied me an opening 3 race treble by beating Arctic Kinsman in the Arkle.
Biggest flat win was Piccolo at 33/1 in the Kings Stand. I had it in an each way double with Venture Capitalist at 50/1 in the Wokingham who was fourth. I stood to win £18k on the win double but still cleared over £1000. |
