I know I'm a wee bit early in starting this with the festival been a week away but starting to look forward to it already.

Anybody have any interest in any of the races at it?

I went to Cheltenham last year on the Tuesday, good day out. Well it was good apart from not having 1 winner and seeing f**k all of the races except the horses head at the end of the race. But a good/drunken day out non the less. The amount of money exchanging hands there is unbelivable.

I am on the early shift at work next week, so I will settle for just watching it on tv this year and not pishing up so much money up the wall.

I've went for snow patrol 100/1 and chasing cars 50/1 £1 double, I feckin hate the band and the song but stranger things have happened

[Shawfield Stallion]

I see that Fearless Freddie has taken a £1million bet on Kauto Star. I hope it works out for him - it takes some balls to accept a bet like that.

[rydo1982]

Thats crazy.

Although having read the racing post there seems to be a very mixed reaction on Kauto's chances. Obviously Freddie think its worth opposing.

Don't think I'll be having an interest in the Gold Cup although I do think Kauto will win if he manages to stay on his feet.

Still trying to decide my own bets for the festival but I can guarantee they will be nowhere near £1m

[uberman]

Fearless Freddie is supposed to have hired a helicopter to take him to and from the races after last years carry on when he was rammed off the road and had £0.5million nicked from him, a wise move I reckon

[stuart.]

Supreme Novices - Aran Concerto

Arkle - Gemini Lucy

Fred Winter - Freezetheflame

Just going to put on an each way trixie I think - these will be my only Cheltenham bets - it's too hard picking winners here.

[The Trainbairn]

Watch out with Aran Concerto as he is likely to head to the Ballymore instead on Wednesday.

That happened on the same day JP McManus took just short of £1m off him on 2 bets I think.

Only bet I've decided on so far is Katchit in the Triumph hurdle. What I actually bet will depend on the price for it. I'd prefer to go each way if the each way price works out as an evens bet.

[Wug]

Sir Boreas Hawke looks a good each-way candidate, 33/1 (Tuesday at Cheltenham). It was 66/1 so lump on fast.

Edit: It's in the Supreme Novices Hurdles
