List your AP tickets.....

I printed many of mine in a previous thread, however yesterday I did place with Hills...

Cue Card (Supreme) 9/4
Menorah (Champion Hurdle) 5/1
Time For Rupert(RSA) 5/2
Big Zeb (Champion Chase) 10/3

4 x £40 trebles 1 x £40 acca.

If there is already a thread like this then just let this one fall of the page. I haven't spotted one but I didn't exactly have a thourough search.

It might be on page two by now to be fair; I think it's called 'Your Ante Post Bets' or something.

I don't mind in the slightest, I like the topic and it's nice to know the result of everyone's thoughts on here...problem is I end up looking a bit of a tit, cos I change my mind everything second!lol I think you'll find me bigging up Binocular elsewhere, but now I think Menorah has everything needed to win and a better bet at the price!

Early punts - placed between 6 & 11 months ago:-

Cue Card - Supreme - 3pts 16/1
Somersby - Gold Cup - 5pts 25/1
Peddlers Cross - Champion - 5pts 25/1
Spirit River - Arkle - 5pts 25 & 33/1
All posted on various threads previously. In any case my comments on the various Cue Card/ Peddlers threads make it pretty clear where my interest lies

More recent:-

Spinal Research Chase - Great Endeavour - 2.5pts 12/1
Centenary Novices - Definity - 2.5pts 12/1
Neptune Hurdle - Backspin - 3pts 10/1
Neptune Hurdle - So Young - 5pts 9 & 10/1
Triumph Hurdle - Smad Place - 2.5pts 20/1
Albert Bartlett Hurdle - Back in Focus - 2.5pts 12/1

Waiting for NRNB before getting stuck into the h/caps although TBH the Cheltenham markets are so strong I might just wait for BOG on the day of the race.

Good luck all.

Long time no speak DD, hope you are well.

Good luck with those bets, especially with the Peddlers Cross one

Am looking at going in again on top 3 listed but probably wait till the day. Still holding out for 7s on Long Run

Will be interesting to look back at this and see how it all went pear shaped.

The Good (well here's hoping)

Day 1
Medermit @ 7 in Arkle
Menorah @ 10/1 in CH
Bensalem @ 16 and 14/1 e/w in Spinal Research Chase

Day 2
For Non Stop @ 14/1 e/w in Coral Cup
Domination @ 50/1 e/w in Fred Winter
Some Target @ 33/1 e/w in NH Novice Chase

Day 3
Barafundle @ 20.6 and 20/1 e/w in Pertemps
Chartreux @ 26 in Pertemps
Grands Crus @ 16/1 e/w in World Hurdle and 6/1 and 11/2 w/o Big Bucks

Day 4
Peak Raider @ 16/1 e/w in the Grand Annual

The Bad

Day 1
MDH @ 33/1 in the Arkle
Tarablaze @ 37 in the Spinal Research Chase

Day 2
Minella Class @ 15 in the Neptune
Zaidpour @ 14.5 and 10/1 in the Neptune

The Ugly (never made it this far)

Day 1
Arvika Legionnaire in the Arkle

Day 2
Lovethehigherlaw in the Bumper
Tarablaze in the RSA Chase

Day 3
Kerb Appeal in the Pertemps

Day 4
Storming Gale in the Albert Bartlett

Will undoubtedly add a few more along the way.

In order of placement..
8pts win Cue Card, Champion Hurdle, 12/1 NRNB
2pts win Finians Rainbow, Arkle, 12/1
5pts each way Grand Crus, World Hurdle, 12/1 NRNB
3pts each way Thousand Stars, Champion Hurdle, 100/1 NRNB
2.5pts each way China Rock, Gold Cup, 80/1
2pts each way Sizing Europe, Champion Chase, 16/1 NRNB
1pt each way Sam Winner, Supreme, 33/1 NRNB

That's the lot. No 'nons' so far, although looking like cash back on Cue Card which was always the likeliest scenario.

Still confident Thousand Stars and China Rock will outrun their odds.

Medermit & Menorah both 9/2 €416.33 e/w double

I've added Pandorama to my GC bets at 6pts win 20/1 with William Hill.

Him and Kempes are likely to shorten on the day and I really think they are the 2 with the liveliest chances of upsetting the top 4 in the betting.

£5 treble hurricane fly 5-1,big zeb 7-2,imperial commander 4-1 nrnb

why everyone using points?! ...list your ££££££!!! :-)

... i thought this thread was about everyones mccoy bets!! ...just came to have look cos i think mccoy wont win any major race at chelt ..might sneak a crapy handicap somewhere ..thats it ....but as this thread aint about mccoy i'll shut up!!! ;-P

Just for you monkey, 1pt for me is a tenner[;)].

0.25 for me is six pounds 25p[:)]

liking your bets on riverside and dunguib .... altho that £20 on dunraven is surely a waste?! ...hopefully he wont turn up for ya and get bunce back! ;-)

Spinal Research Handicap Chase - Great Endeavour at 16/1
Coral Cup - For Non Stop at 16/1 and Aegean Dawn at 14/1
World Hurdle without Big Bucks - Grands Crus some on here at 7.0 and 6.0 and more with Hills at 5/1
Champion Chase - Tataniano at 8s!!
Albert Bartlett - Court in Motion at 7s!!
Fred Winter - Qalinas at 33/1 - probs won't get a run

liking your bets on riverside and dunguib .... altho that £20 on dunraven is surely a waste?! ...hopefully he wont turn up for ya and get bunce back! ;-)

Thanks. I actually think Dunraven is under rated. He was given far too much to in the ealry part of the season (4 races in about 6 weeks from memory). He beat Recession Proof off levels weights when they had both had a prep run in the Autumn and so at the odds I think he is excellent value. I'm not sure that his 8 lengths loss to Cue Card was his best form and I know that his next run was not right. His jumping is solid and I would rather he ran than get my dough back.

In order of placement:

Gold Cup -  2 pts win Sizing Europe 25-1 NRNB
RSA Chase - 5 pts win Mikael D'Haguenet 14-1
Neptune - 2.5 pts win First Lieutenant 18.0/16.5
Triumph - 2.5 pts win Sam Winner 10-1 NRNB

The policy of using points has been on here for many years. It shouldn't take long for anyone to sort out the marks from the mugs on here and the point system clearly sets out the strength of confidence behind each selection. It doesn't matter whether a point is two pounds or two grand, what matters is your own opinion of the forumite posting.

Good point DD. Me thinks you are no mug[;)]

I'm afraid I may have over reached on Riverside now. I added another *ahem* 20 pts at 6/1 NRNB this morning. Every year I have one banker that I really fancy and back more than anything else. It's not normal for me that my banker at the festival is as big as 6 and 7/1 though. In the past my banker has been Denman in the RSA and Inglis 3 times but I have also lost when Moscow fell the year Azertyioup won the CC and I lost on Master Minded last year. It's weird but the two years my banker selection lost were the 2 years I came out the most up. RT wont be 6/1 on the day, it's the stand out AP bet for me right now. No way should Poquelin be fav if RT turns up so 6/1 NRNB looks plenty big enough.

surely the points system onlys works if everyone is using the points on the same scale??

if i was 100% confident of something ....would a put a max of 5pts? 10pts? 20pts? 100pts??

im sure everyone does it differently ... for me it was just nice to know if peoples 1pt is 10p or £10 or £25 ...guess im just nosey!!!! :-P

Thank you cruise - many on here would beg to differ

I think this will be about it for me until the day now I'd guess:-

Ryanair:-

10pts win Riverside Theatre 7/1
20pts win Riverside Theatre 6/1 nrnb

Champion Hurdle:-

Dunguib 5pts ew 14/1 nrnb
Saldatino 1.5 pts ew 33/1 nrnb (done before last run and hoping it doesn't run)
Walkon 1.5 pts ew 33/1 nrnb (as above)

Gold Cup:-

Kempes 5pts win at 23 on here
Pandorama 6 pts win at 20/1 nrnb
Tidal Bay 1.25 pts ew 50/1

Albet Bartlett:-

Back In Focus 5 pts win 9/1

Coral Cup:-

Arcalis 2.5 pts ew 50/1

Supreme Novices:-

Dunraven Storm 2 pts ew 50/1 nrnb

RSA:-

Time For Rupert 25 pts win 9/4 nrnb

Retirement bet:-

£2 ew trebles, £1 ew 4x, £1 ew 5x and a £1 ew acca on:-

1 Dunraven Storm 40/1
2 Dunguib 14/1
3 Arcalis 33/1
4 Riverside Theatre 5/1
5 Back In Focus 7/1
6 Kempes 14/1

cruise i have done a similar bet in the multiples ,but i have dropped a major boll**k, as i have big prices similar to you including 66s and 40s ect ,my acca alone comes to more than a million ,
i should have split the bets at different shops for smaller stakes ,and i suspect you have done the same looking at your prices ,still i  will worry about that IF  they come in,

Yeah I've done the same bloody thing. Max payout is £1 mill. I realised almost straight after I placed the bet, to be honest though if I'm annoyed that I've only won a million it'l be the nicest I've ever felt whilst annoyed[;)]!

Only on for a quarter of a mill here. Good luck.

yeah same here cruise i think i could get over ONLY  winning a million

One more:-

County Hurdle, Dirar 2.5pts 12/1.  I just cant get his recent "stroll" round the Kempton AW track out of my mind.

My biggest payout would be at £2 acca on

Cue Card
Bensalem
Binocular
Oscars Well
Long Run

£2 acca pays almost £16k!!

Only two so far. 30 pts running on to Peddlers, and 3 pts Zanir in Vincent Obrien.

I think this is about it for me until the day. I'll back most of my fancies for the handicaps on the day in here I'd have thought because stupid prices get layed on outsiders at times. I can't wait for Tuesday!!!

Imperial Cup on Saturday:-

Ronaldo Des Mottes 2pts win 20/1

Supreme:-

Dunraven Storm 2pts 50/1 NRNB

Champion hurdle:-

Dunguib 2.5pts ew and 5 pts win at 14s NRNB
Saldatino £15 ew at 33/1 NRNB (money coming back)
Walkon £15 ew at 33/1 NRNB(money coming back)

RSA:-

Time For Rupert 25 pts 9/4 nrnb
Aiteenthirtythree 5 pts 8/1 nrnb (may top up a little)

Champion Chase:-

Sizing Europe 5 pts win 11/1 nrnb
Golden Silver 5 pts win 14/1 nrnb
French Opera 3 pts at 30 on bf

Coral Cup:-

Arcalis 2.5 pts ew 50/1 nrnb

Ryanair:-

Poquelin 30pts 7/2 bet365 nrnb
10 pts lost on Riverside Theatre AP
20 pts on Riverside nrnb to come back

Vincent O'Brien:-

Ronaldo Des Mottes 2.5pts ew 25/1, trainer states it wont run but if he wins on Saturday I'd be amazed if he doesn't go for the bonus whilst avoiding a penalty. Looka bet to nothing now it's nrnb. If he doesn't show you get your money back, if he does show it'l be because he just won the Imperial Cup and so will be a lot shorter.

Albert Bartlett:-

Back in Focus 5pts win 9/1

Gold Cup:-

Kempes 5pts win at 23 on bf
Pandorama 6pts win at 20/1 nrnb
Tidal Bay 12.5pts ew at 50/1 nrnb

I have several bets containg a lot of the above combining ew x3, x4, x5 and x6s.

I have one decent e/w yankee out of about 15

Five four three 25/1
Sprinter S 12/1
Star Neuville 25/1
Oscar Whiskey 12/1

I wish tidal was 12.5 pts ew but sadly I got my decimal point in the wrong place there. 1.25pts ew.

Mille chief avg 20's for around 5k
Bostons Angel avg 30's for 10 k
Sommersby champion chase 10's for 5k
Kauto star 8's for 2.5k
lucky 15 will pay around 30k for all 4

Profit on ante post book here, Sizing Europe a nice winner and Grands Crus a tremendous buzz.
Thousand Stars missing three out and being broadsided by Overturn a real killer. Think he would have been third but that's racing..

.. Forgetting Finians Rainbow. That was 2 on in running too.

well done Numis.

my book was nice too.

Bensalem collecting at 14/1, Long Run winning at 6/1, and Cockney Trucker, which was my biggest wager of the week, making the frame.

Same with you on Finians, would have made a packet had he won.

Nice prices Sint, WD.
Cracking tickle on Cockney Trucker. Every chance over the last which must have been a thrill.
No excuses for Finians, just outstayed. Certainly dispelled the theory he can't leap.

yes indeed. Think he could be a good thing for the G1 novices at Aintree. He could get away with his running style around there like Tataniano did last year. It's very hard to do that kind of thing at Cheltenham. Damn Hobbsy and his late defection! [;)]

List your AP tickets.....
AP to give GMOOH a thrashing(nap) as the cash is down
