will it be run this year ?
Surely the organisers could allow the GB team to join with the french and call it a european team ?

Ireland v Rest of the World on breeding ?

Much better chance of u k winning it !

It will be much closer than you think Irish.

GB could have clean sweep of the Championship races as well. Not impossible...

You biting again Hibore ? its only a fishing trip ffs

Laugh
Report Hibore March 4, 2020 11:19 AM GMT
Not biting. Just think 2/1 is a very good bet...perhaps the best value bet there is this year.

I've had a good bit on as well Mischief

Are you going this year ?
Report foxy March 4, 2020 11:29 AM GMT
Whilst I would be amazed at a clean sweep of the championship races unless you mean just the 4 main races hibore I to think it will be much closer than the betting indicates.
Report Hibore March 4, 2020 11:44 AM GMT
I was including Ryanair tbh. The CH, CC, Stayers and Gold Cup is very possible but if you add in Ryanair it's unlikely but not impossible.

When you look at the races there are 9 - 10 races that the UK have very strong chances while Ireland have 10 - 11.

2/1 will be gone very quickly if we finish day one with 3 or 4 winners. Which I think they will...

Totally agree Ireland probably have the upper hand in the handicaps,I count championship as the 5 you mention both sun alliance races the supeme and the triumph plus Albert Bartlett and bumper.good grief I nearly forgot the arkle.

No foyleswar in fact last year was a tie

To be honest with you it’s not really a good idea to bet on this it can to an extent spoil the meeting.
Report buddeliea March 5, 2020 9:25 AM GMT
I thought the draw was priced up?
pretty sure my brother backed the draw last year.
Report foxy March 5, 2020 9:34 AM GMT
Yes it is priced up bud

The very idea of it, is an anathema to what Cheltenham's all about, for me.

I think Hanx is saying he aint that keen on the idea of the PC.
Report foxy March 5, 2020 10:12 AM GMT
Thanks bud it is pretty irrelevant in the context of the racing itself.
Report buddeliea March 5, 2020 10:19 AM GMT
Quiet agree mate
It is though a bet people can have if they spot an opportunity to make money as my brother did last year.
Don't think he mentioned the bet until it dawned on him on the last day that the draw was very possible.
He just concentrated all week on the horses in each race he had backed,as he always does.

That's okay.

There's this thing called the Internet and something on it called 'The Googles' I think. It's like a big encyclopaedia where you can look things up in two clicks / five seconds / 63 i-phone re-charges.

You can even do this with one hand whilst doing something creative and Hunnish with the other.
Report Hanx March 5, 2020 10:28 AM GMT
Sorry - that was really pathetic of me.

Genuine apologies

No worries hanx thanks for the apology take care

Phenomenal performances from wm and ge. Not just the winners but almost every horse peaking on the week. Different class
Report Cash Is King March 14, 2020 4:25 PM GMT
Couldn’t agree more with MS.

Mullins and Elliott a class apart.

“Top” GB trainers - with the honourable exception of Henderson - look and learn (but deep down inside we know you won’t).

Yep, totally agree.
Different class from Mullins and Elliott.
Good to see Hendo producing again.
Report FOYLESWAR March 15, 2020 10:29 AM GMT
the brits still won 3 of the 4 championship races but in reality hendo  and to a smaller extent nicholls are the only ones with the ammo or nous to have confidence in this side of the water  the 2 you can be sure will have their horses ready on the day the others here dont seem to be up to it .
Report irishone March 24, 2020 10:16 AM GMT
Definitely UK not up to it
2\1 was put up as a good bet
One of the best at the festival i see
