Cheltenham 2022 thread

I agree with Ruby. The jockey has done nowt wrong there. It’s just been very, very unlucky. 

[Jairzinho]

He was unlucky in that the horse actually jumped it pretty well and would obviously usually land it. But he's 10 clear, he simply doesn't need a jump as long as that.

Throw a fucking dart at the next list of horses.   

[sir roger]

Happened on a website last night which suggested 3 mudlarks for today so to give me an interest I threw them on as £1 doubles and a treble. Third Wind was the first of them. So with the weight of years of my hard luck betting stories a word of warning to you all. Avoid Royal Kahala in the 3.30 and Frontal Assault in the 5.30.

 

 

[Captain Turdseye]

Got a fiver on Paisley Park in the 3:30, then a small e/w on Song For Someone in the same race. 

[Captain Turdseye]

SHITE. 

 

Got two each left on the 4:10 and 5:30

 

 

[Colonel Bumcunt]

At this point I just want all the horses to fall on the jockeys and die. 

[Captain Turdseye]

NOT SHITE. 

 

That'll do for now, pig. 

[Captain Turdseye]

Now I’m up a bit. Did anyone watch the race? I didn’t see it. Probably for the best if it was a close run thing. 
 

 

[Elite]

Fucking Ballyandy!

[Captain Turdseye]

Had a sneaky £1 e/w on that winner too at 33/1. 

Edit: It went off at 40/1. Wahey. 
 

Reckon I’m about £100 up today and my footy acca is yet to run. 
 

Just going each way on long shots in the races that are paying six or seven places seems to be serving me well.

Just watched the highlights of the finish. Beaten by 1 and a bit lengths. The winner was always holding it though. 
 

Still, a decent pick. Well in. 
 

I’ve hardly put anything on yet. Keeping my powder dry until tomorrow.

Only picked it because of the jockey. Nico De Whatsisface always seems to be there or there abouts, whatever horse he’s sitting on.

One cant believe that. Can't be arsed saying anything more. 

[Captain Turdseye]

This is the day when I win fuck all. Staked £23 across various bets. 

[easytoslip]

Cormier 28/1, 2.10.

Goodtime Johnny 16/1, 2.50.

Ew singles and double. 

I had Cormier come in at a good price last week or so but my main bet is elsewhere. 

[YorkshireRed]

This is the first afternoon I’ve had chance to just sit and watch the racing. 
 

Just had a silly bet to make it a bit more interesting. 
 

 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Fancy Felix Desjy (2.10) e/w at a big price, particularly with the extra places available. 80/1. Finished just outside the places in it’s two previous runs at Cheltenham. It’s in a handicap today, but it’s previous two Cheltenham runs were in much hotter races - the Champion Bumper and the Supreme Novices Hurdle - so should find today easier. Can’t see it winning, but it might sneak into the places especially if you can get on with a bookie who pays out on the top 7 or 8. 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Pied Piper (1:30) Hillcrest (2:50) and Mount Ida (4:50) e/w patent is my main bet. 

[Jairzinho]

Immense engine on Vauban. Clattered through the last then just stuck the turbo on again and breezed away from the rest.

 

 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Had the first 3 all in different placepots and accumulators. 
 

But, Pied Piper was my main one. I was a bit disappointed with his run. Seemed to cruise up but didn’t have the speedy finish that it’s produced before. Maybe the ground didn’t help. 

[Jairzinho]

Need Billaway in the 16:10 for the treble.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

First and second on the Placepots again. 
 

And a few quid back off 5th place. 
 

 

[Captain Turdseye]

Sweeeet. Had £1.50 e/w on four horses there. Ballyadam and Cormier placed so I’m back where I started money wise, and I’ve still got loads of bets to run. 

[VladimirIlyich]

Just won a few quid on some free spins on Betfred so backed Chantry House in the Gold Cup with a whopping 1.50 ew and Mister Schnitzel 50p ew in race after Gold Cup.
