Cheltenham Festival
There is currently 1 person viewing this thread.
Just saw this priced up with Betfair Sportsbook, so thought I'd post for a bit of fun. Prices are correct as at today.
I've put in the noteable runners below (these are from memory, so I know there will be ones I've missed). Obviously JP will have a big play in the handicaps as well.
JP McManus 7/4
More of That, Jezki, Shutthefrontdoor, Gilgamboa, Jollyalan, At Fishers Cross, Alvisio Ville, Uxizandre + plots in almost every handicap, and a decent hand in the cross country.
Mrs. S Ricci (Rich Ricci) 15/8
Faugheen, Vautour, Champagne Fever, Douvan, Djakadam, Ballycasey, Annie Power
Gigginstown House Stud 5/2
Road to Riches, Valseur Lido, Don Poli, Don Cossack, Clarcam, Tell Us More, No More Heroes, Lieutenant Colonel, McKinley
Graham Wylie 20/1
Shaneshill, Black Hercules, Boston Bob, On His Own, Nichols Canyon, Briar Hill
Simon Munir & Isaac Souede 20/1
Peace and Co, L’Ami Serge, Vyta Du Roc, Bristol de Mai, Top Notch
Bloomfields 50/1
Any Other 66/1
John Breslin 66/1
Barry Connell 100/1
So how much are we all putting on Giggi then??

....although actually is Ricci the bet here?
Giggi have a lot of quality horses, but all are 5/1+. At the moment, Ricci has four at 7/2 or lower (Vautour, Faugheen, Annie and Douvan); with Faugheen and Annie likely to go off odds on, on the day. |

Just looking back at the last few Festivals to see who won it...
Last year... Gigginstown won it having started the Friday with 0 winners, they ended up with 4. Dr. Lambe was second with 3 and JP & Ricci had 2. 2013 ... Wylie and JP had 2 each, JP shaded it on countback as far as I can tell 2012 ... JP with 5 - Sychronised / Alderwood / Bellvano / Sunnyhillboy / Alfie Sherrin 2011 ... Gigginstown with 3 & Potts with 2 2010 ... Hemmings with 2, David Johnson with 2, Hammer & Trowel Syndicate with 2, draw on countback between Hemmings and Johnson with 1 second each It's probably a more interesting market this year though than any time in the past with a high concentration of horses with the bigger owners. |

Good work SYT. I was trying to find out previous winners for the last few years but had no luck (and too lazy to do it manually!)

S Such & Cg Paletta

Very true. Fancy the both to win their races, although I had to google who the owners were
Hoping one of them is a good winner tomorrow at Donny. |

aye he should win tomorrow

JP goes into most of the handicaps mob handed. Also expect a full return to form at Jackdaws Castle. Jonjo will have a lot of well handicapped/fresh horses - he might not be the daftest bet to be top trainer.
