well thats pi..ed on the chips

Paying out the 1st 7 on The Supreme? More chance of refunding cash on 1st 3 consecutive losers each day at the Festival. Terrible turn out despite the conducive ground.

No Hendo or Nicholls - the top 1 trainers here. Barmy!!!!!!!

or skelton who said how easy it was to win these races in ireland,i thought the fact no owners were allowed would play a part,it seems to have had on the opening day ,fingers crossed for the rest of the week however i dont see many running in the sun alliance chase or marsh chase.

I think I'll be watching the races I've a bet on only eg Arkle/Champion H/RSA/JLT/Stayers/Gold Cup and probably Champion C (fate of Altior). Bring on the Flat. I cannot wait.

impossible people who know me will be very surprised that on the sunday of the cheltenham festival i am also thinking bring on the flat.

that said there are still some very good horses to look forward to this week.

Its sad but there you go, nothing we can do, will just sit here and drink and stuff my face and enjoy wwhat is on offer.

3 horses ie Shishkin, Monkfish and Envoi Allen I'll be most interested to watch, and possibly the (new) winner of the Gold Cup. Otherwise, please bring on the Flat. This National Hunt season has been so tedious and anti-climax I cannot wait for it to be over.

I'm hoping for an extraordinary performance from any of the above horses at the Festival to liven up interest for King George and next season.

looking forward to the ballymore and the three novice chasers



already mentioned ,was looking forward to both the arkle and the stayers.



deptford its ok planning to sit having a few drinks but have you accounted for listening to the pundits or whatever they are for 4 days ?

Yes mate, mute!! And will be having video calls with my daughter who lives in Barbados, seeing how her bets are doing.

Same here (mute) unless Walsh or Murtagh are on ITV with picture from here (faster).

thats nice deptford


not lydia impossible as well as walsh ?

one of the things i have noticed deptford since been unable to go racing is the crap the majority of this lot come out with and are only there because they get paid for been there.

i dont include lydia in that no matter what people may think of here she loves horse racing.

Lydia is fine - she talks sense. She ought to be presenting ITV Racing.

agreed

And, Lydia does not prostitute herself promoting bookies products eg fobt, bets, etc, like some of ITV Racing.

and she is a punter ,that lot on itv i dont fancy any of them putting a bet on in case they lose.
