What was your biggest Cheltenham bet

SWEET WAKE.

I bought into the hype and lumped on the so called good thing.


I now have a tattoo across my forehead that reads  - 'say no to Meade'.

Denman for the Gold Cup last year! Not in one big lump, but since he'd won the Hennessey I pretty much double/trebled every bet up with him to win...had a stupid amount on by the day itself!

Rhinestone Cowboy in the bumper i was at Ascot for the horses debut it was like a knife thru butter convinced myself this was the best bet at the festival waded in too deep till this day think it should have won it in the stewards room,,,,how long did that enquiry go on for ,,,,,

I too lumped on Rhinestone Cowboy that year. I remember waiting in the queue to be paid out as I was certain that he would get the race. I couldn't get my hat on when Pizarro kept the race.

I walked back into Cheltenham with tears in my eyes...............

Dunguib

As I said in your other thread my two biggest bets were on Master Minded last year and Moscow Flyer in 04 when he unseated. Both years came with a happy ending for me though thankfully!

fiveforthree when he won the ballymore

LOSS was The french horse JAPHET in the 2002 RSA chase,was going well when fell 2 out

WIN was a five horse Acc at the 2003 festival
BACK IN FRONT
AZERTYUIOP
MOSCOW FLYER
BARACOUDA
BEST MATE
that was when i was starting in the game and was stupid enough to think that you could win 5 and 6 horse acc's at the festival,luckily it paid off

Horse9, hope your getting it back in the CH?


Financially the Arkle has been good to me.

Moscow Flyer, biggest amount to win

Tidal Bay, most satisfaction

I back Dunguib for months in the run up to last years Festival. My biggest bet ever. The rest is history! I then proceeded to place the exact same amount on Kauto in the Gold Cup. Say no more!

biggest win was barton.

most satisfaction was rooster booster as i decided it was next years winner after watching it win the county hurdle the year before...still didn't back it until october though.

biggest loss was flagship uberalles in edredon bleus champion chase.

harchibald champ hurdle...i know i know

biggest bet ever infact..the scar will never heal.

Masterminded in last years QM

Kauto for the gold cup last year, was winings rolled over from the betfair chase and king george so wasn't as bad.

Roulez Cool in the Foxhunters last year, was told it should be a gold cup horse

big bucks the first world hurdle

rainbow in last years neptune{compensation awaits this year in arkle] FINGERS CROSSED[:(]

Biggest winning bet - La Ladiere Cathcart

Biggest losing bet - Harcon in the RSA

brigust - I think my sanity would be severely stretched if he was to win the CH and I didn't have a bean on, he's the current generation of horses that I have to back at all costs every time he runs now.
Last horse I had like that was Edredon Bleu, backed it in the soft at Sandown even though I knew the thing should be 100s whilst I was clutching a 13/8 voucher !

kribensis £200 win at 6\1 for the triumph

The mighty Brave Inca for the champion, had the great Hardy to beat imo and sweeping round the final bend kicked on in all his glory...but wait..... that Sublimity is going bloody well [:o]

Remember Big Mac for months

HARCON HARCON

From memory it went head to head in a match and neither won.

Howdi, that is correct, it was billed as match between Harcon & Pipes horse Banjo, they cut each others throats and Josh Giffords Brief Gale nipped in to win easily

biggest win was HARDY EUSTACES 1st champ hurdle win i was matched on here up to a staggering @450
to £1.16 pennys i know but also was matched on the place market @55 everyone told me including the panel at haydocks preview night that he 's in the wrong race and should've been goin for the c0ral under top weight, led all the way and confirmed it was no fluke with a typical gutsy win the following year!! ei ei HARDY ilove ya!!!

BIGGEST LOSS same as a few above RHINESTONE COWBOY in the bumper, i also backed him to get the race in the stewards room, i was so stunned when placings remain unaltered was announced=still hurts!!

Direct Route when 2nd Chpn Chse.
Thought he'd won tbh.Gutted.

Biggest winning bet Monsignor in the RSA Hurdle - then had all the winnings on Flagship Uberales in the Queen Mother (carried away in the moment)

Biggest bet in terms of what the money was staked and was worth at the time was on Sea Pigeon when he won the race for the second time with Francome up.

Biggest loser was when Night Nurse got beaten into second in the Gold Cup - a tragedy he never did the double that bloody mare did a few years after.

Pigeon Islans at 50-1 with Ladbrokes for Grand Annual.

had 2k on inglis drever at 11/8 to win his third world hurdle. when he 5th turning in l was pretty confident as all he did was gallop on up that hill. great attitude, greatest horse.

Stormez in 2003 after we all bled the bookies dry up to Zenophone, they got some back

Biggest win, placepot after Nation State in 2005 just helped me to an 80p share of 7.5K.

Biggest win - Khayrawani Coral Cup (20s,16s) & Dunguib's Bumper win

Kauto, the year he fell in a two miler. Can't remember if it was the Arkle or QM. Never backed the horse again......

Istabraq in his 2nd Champion Hurdle - £4000 win.

Poquelin last year. Went through the race dozens of times and couldn't see what would beat him.

Lesson learned: It can be very expensive to ignore previous festival form! (see also hardy eustace above)

Biggest winning bet on Denman in 2007, immediately after having gotten a shout about Enforce in the maiden hurdle in some track before hand. Gave it all back in my biggest losing bet on Whyso Mayo two days later.

call it a day
that was newmills queen mother.

Thanks Duffy. Nasty memories!

In the last race on the first day saw a bookie in 1999 on the end who priced up generosa at 20/1 (was a general 10s/12s)...hada quick £50 to £1k bfore he realised his mistake.

Stormin norman rode a peach of a race to win going away...

Mayweather Did you mean 4p win?
