£116 up on the 4 days . I aimed for £500 profit but laid a Mullins horse today that won . That man Mullins again !

About £200 up. Disappointed that Shaneshill ran in the Supreme rather than the Neptune, Wounded Warrior in the RSA than the 4 miler and Bryan Cooper's X-rated ride on No More Heroes today. Pays your money, you takes your chance though. Don't honestly think Don Poli would have won the RSA if Coneygree had stood his ground!

27 races and profit on 26 for +£3,200. If I hadn't got caught out by the Jezski drift, would have been my best Cheltenham ever.

Best Cheltenham I have had, punting highlight was On the Fringe but the highlight of the week from a racing perspective was Coneygree. Tremendous to see a performance like that from a novice, first one to the win the Gold Cup in my lifetime.

I lost 34 grand on a certain horse,that would have been my returns.

Interesting thread because if you listened to that clown Nevison you would have thought every punter had won. Not everybody can back the shorties that win and avoid the ones that don't. I won a couple of hundred but it could have been so much better having had a win bet on Djakadam and an each-way on Holywell, both at 50/1. Beaten by a horse that wasn't even a certain runner until a couple of days ago. That's racing.

My best ever festival. Having had good 3 days and a bad Friday the last two years, I got my Friday bets sorted early and had a great day, although an offer on one I fancied helped make it. Tuesday and Thursday especially were good days already but Friday even better. Had my biggest ever win on a horse on Coneygree, was very sweet on that one and Many Clouds but went biggest on Coneygree when Will Hill boosted to 11/1 earlier. Killultagh Vic was a bonus. Could have been even better had the second not been touched off in the Triumph and the 4th come 3rd. Don Cossack and L'ami Serge were big losers for me on the downside but my best ever festival by quite some way.

I'm not a big punter on horses, but came out ahead.
Yesterday I did a 50p jackpot & placepot. One winner, 3 seconds, a 3rd & Aqalim which was 5th. Placepot down. 50p Ew acca would have paid £346.25. |

£17 up thanks to Next Sensation winning. Only other winner was Rivage D'or in running. Had 6 seconds including today Noble Endeavor which would have been a nice payday.
A great festival though. I think we have seen some fantastic performances. |

Didn't here a lot from Nevison but couldn't help but laughing at how strong he was on 16/1 shots and 12/1 shots that COULD NOT WIN. Feck me we could all stick pins in and come out with shyte like that. THen The Package came along and bit his backside

£466.99 up would have won more if I had bet level stakes and a lot more of Annie Power has stood up on Tue for the 4th leg of my Mullins/Walsh Tue L15. My big wins were Faugheen, Don Poli, Martello Tower and Next Sensation the latter was bonus win thanks to a mate. Big losers were Ptit Zig, Balders Success & Saphir Du Rhue.
Great festival this year I was a guest of PaddyPower in the Arkle stand on Tue and the atmosphere was electric best I have ever experienced live at a sporting event. The tension before the Annie Power race was something else and the gasp when she fell... I didn't get too involved in the Gold Cup this year as I felt the new guard might take over but had no idea which one. I think this years Gold Cup was probably an outstanding one and using Silviniaco Conti as yardstick (I think ran up to last years from) it sort of confirms by view that last years Gold Cup was probably one one the worst ever. |

By:
Do you paid double for winning bets at the Festival....
Just a thought. |
|
By:
Evening all. I contrived to end up £120 down, despite lots of winners and getting 2 Placepots and 3 decent Exactas. Can't decide whether I need a new staking plan, more discipline or both
 |

By:
If you are betting Exactas and placepots Tony then you should take a long hard look at yourself..

had my best Cheltenham ever thanks to being on this forum and being a Betfair geezer

I only had one winner all meeting but thankfully it was my ante post bet which brought me level for the meeting. Had that not obliged it would have been my worst festival ever. Damn Willie Mullins.

greg gory - Thanks for the sympathy.
I was up, apart from the £200 to win on Djakadam and £500 to win on Paint the Clouds (would have been £1k it it hadn't rained), so to quote Jason Robards - "I screwed up, but I wasn't wrong" .Mind, enjoyed nearly every minute of it. Not only was this year a good one, but better, promised hugely for the quality of next season and beyond. |

Greg -
Sorry to single you out, I had missed that. Makes a change from "Rovers" and racist stuff I suppose. For the avoidance of doubt. It's big, it's a barn, and its black, and its mine. HTH |

How many tons did you get for that? Richard. Just ordered a delivery to redo my Septic Tank filter bed. Coke is £50 a ton and Clinker just less. Let me know if you need a good supplier
