After having a disasterous 3 days...two winners, both on their own in lucky 15's. (one was Quevega and I got a massive €3.20 back) If the last 3 years have any bearing on my situation then Friday will be better, in them years I'm up about 6K from about €400,plus I had like 185 quid on a tip william hill radio gave afterwards at another meeting) just cos of the fridays (last year I had a lucky 31 that came off so as you imagine most of that came there) . Anyways, for Gold cup day Im going for.
1.30 Royal Irish Hussar 9/1/Guitar Pete 8/1 E/W
2.05 Cheltenian 6/1/ Arctic Fire E/W (if worth it, at 6/1 its just about)
2.40 Briar Hill 5/4/ Deputy Dan 16/1E/W
3.20 Bob's Worth (unbeaten at chelts and an absolute machine of a horse up the hill) / Last Installment 8/1 E/W (could win it)
4.00 On the fringe 3/1 (has to have a decent chance OR Oscar Delta 8/1 *should have won this race last year but unseated rider on the run in and will definitely go the distance and decent form since, if your backing two horses you cant discard that form so this has to be one of them
4.40 Vieux Lion Rouge 6/1....I know this lad, who is best mates with Connor O'Farrell and he told me last week to back this....cant go against that but it is Cheltenham...
5.15 Ned Buntine 8/1 E/W ...can't pick the winner of this to be honest, should go well as he always does in the tricky courses in Ireland under Carberry.
best of luck anyway lads, really hope that Vieux Lion Rouge does the business, as I said don't take it as gospel but it's the only one that I was told to back from anyone that knows anyone in racing circles, just thought I'd pass it on.
