Went for the first time last year and it was brilliant, better than I expected.
It helped that I won £400 in the car on the way down by getting a double up on the last two races of the second day, but the whole atmosphere was great. Only down sides were Cue card falling in the Gold Cup, and I had to stay in Swindon for 3 days |

As with most things in life the looking forward is the best thing but the arrival can often be a let down.When i used to holiday abroad the weeks leading up to departure were full of anticipation and excitement.After three days of laying on a sunbed and eating eggs,bacon and sausage every morning the novelty wore off and quite honestly i couldn't wait to get home to my creature comforts and routine of every day life.I feel this way about the Cheltenham festival.

I'm going Wednesday and Friday.
Wednesday is a semi-serious day to enjoy the racing and have a good punt. Friday is a pi$$ up with the lads in the Wild West (AKA Best Mate Enclosure)  |
|
By:
I will only be having a tiny bet on the last two, non ITV, races each day so I can watch them live on here.
I wouldn't want the anxiety of betting to win money. I save my anxiety for the fallers. Just willing them to get up and be alright. |
|
By:
That's extremely concerning of you M/D..not many can resist on having a punt in every race
|
|
By:
Nearly had a heart attack when Cue Card fell last year. Was so happy to see him bet up so quickly but was completely gutted for his connections.
|
|
By:
I have had a little dabble with betting. It wasn't for me. Even tho' I ended up £200 in profit from where I started.

The excitement of Chelts comes over me in waves, in the days leading up to it.
I'm quiet one minute then fit to burst, the next! At the moment I'm fit to burst! |
|
By:
I'm feeling eerily calm at the moment
Anyway, I was most upset when Sporting Life changed their website I hated the new race cards  But I have just discovered this, someone posted it on the horse racing forum . http://www.skysports.com/racing/racecards/cheltenham/14-03-2017/759762/stan-james-champion-hurdle-challenge-trophy I am a happy bunny once again  I fancy Moon Racer for the Champion Hurdle. The Champion Hurdle is my favourite race of the entire Jumps Season Oh no, I feel I'm about to burst again! |
|
By:
Calm again now.
I have bought a Tesco Finest Carrot Cake for next week. I will have a piece each afternoon before the big race |
