alta-pete Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Pish from me. Speculated £100. Returned £17. [emoji85][emoji38]Here's hoping for a better day tomorrow! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al-be-oh-nee Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Thank god Cheltenham is over. Bad week. Lucinda Russell has got her yard in good form at the moment and had another couple of winners yesterday. 2 run at Uttoxeter today - Newtown Lad runs at 2.25 but dont fancy it up in class and rating after winning last time out. Sky Khan running at 3.00 seems like a good outside shot at 18/1. Has went well off a break before. Slightly down in class for his comeback run and has dropped in the weights slightly. Might need this run but a small each way is worth a punt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Newtown Lad was looking good until he stumbled and then fell at the next fence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Now looking at the ante post for Grand National (got Many Clouds at (I think) 33/1 a couple of years ago, that ended up a good weekend [emoji16]) and there's a lot of recognisable Cheltenham names. But also some apparently seriously short odds. Minella Rocco stands out- it was second in a race on Friday but seemingly a 10/1 JF for the National?? Alvarado and Shutthefontdoor are old soldiers and both at 40/1, probably correct. But I had Bless the Wings on Weds when it came 2nd and it too is 40/1. Seems long to me. Never much fun backing favourites. Anyone have any views? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al-be-oh-nee Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Big River 2.40 at Kelso today 4/1. Ran mostly well in 2nd on its last race (couple of dodgy jumps as it started gettting competitive towards the end). Back on ground that suits today, goes off rock bottom weight plus has the assistance of an in form 7lb claimer today. Might have some competition from Seeyouatmidnight who is potentially angling towards the Scottish national and has won some good races in its time but pulled up when last seen over 4 months ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I thought about it but thought it would be more sensible to lump on Morton.:'( 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berwick-the-unbeatable Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 It's a lottery but anyone got any thoughts on the National yet? See the value has been totally drained from Vicente and Blaklion over the last couple of days 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably about 20 mile from Newcastle, a decent sized venue though it's at the top of a bloody hill. Well worth a trip though, especially an overnight stay as there are lots of decent boozers and restaurants. Last time I went I drove down and stayed overnight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed nice friendly toon and course BUT When the wind blows it's feckn freezing. Very popular night meetings in the summer months with diy bbq s on the grass. 2nd highest course in Britain. Today in the 1st race Ian Jardine s horse was Gambled from 28s to 8s.

Just didnt look like it could handle the step up in class at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
