Did I read correctly that all the runners fell at Towcester in one of the earlier races?

Now you're tempting me!

This'll be on Segal's page tomorrow

Yeah, just seen a replay on ATR, only two left going and the leader reluctantly jumps the last, throws the jockey off, pretty much in the path of the following one, who got over the fence awkwardly and chucked off the jockey as well.


Henry Cecil has now got a winner at Cheltenham. The flags will be flying high over Warren Place on this fine spring evening.

25s gone

The Triumph could really boost its form from when it was last here plus it was 2nd in a Grade 1 in France over further then 2 miles and will go off with 10st 8lb on its back if the jock makes the wieght.

Been a good week miles better then last year 7 winners 5 second placed with few at good priced E/Ws

Gold Cup Day selections

JCB Triumph Hurdle:

Sam Winner 10/1 E/W

Local Hero 33/1 E/W

County Hurdle:

Soldatino 16/1 E/W

Albert Bartlett:

Bobs Worth 10/1 E/W

Champion Court 14/1 and 10/1 E/W

Gold Cup:

Long Run 20/1 E/W

Martin Pipe Con Hurdle:

Indian Daudaie 25/1 E/W

Done two more in the County, Blackstairmountain 14/1 E/W Alaivan 8/1 E/W

Both look like they could well in with Alaivan's form boosted yesterday and starting to look a decent horse over hurdles having been rated 112 on the flat.

Barizan 33/1 E/W Martin Pipe

Just because Williams has had said its come to life again like last year, if it goes off and gets a soft lead it would be hard to pull back.

Phew, only just found out about Junior as couldn't get to see it. Great result.

Saves the day again.

Please can I have a day where I get more than one good winner.

Can I have a day where I have ONE winner!!!

1.30 Zarkander
2.05 Dirar
2.40 Kilcrea Kim
4.00 Just Amazing
4.40 Astracad
5.15 Anquetta

Strong words for Kempes 11/1 and Dirar 13/2 backing both.

Just done a triple. Will sort out other bets tomorrow.

Grandouet, Bob's Worth, Imperial Commander

Lot to like about Zarkanders win the other day.


The Gold Cup is a bit like the Champion Hurdle was for me. I have it whittled down to a couple, and gonna do the same as I did on Tuesday and go with my gut feeling after reading the RP in the morning. No sentimental bets because I'm well up for the week either, a la Master Minded the other day.

Am done now for the week going to have a break after tomorrow before decent flat starts and Aintree/Punchs/Galway.

Over a bag of sand up on the last 3 days even with some very close ones like Caroles Legacy and Rock On Ruby going down on the line plus favs Cue Card and Master Minded could of been some major major funds, still got some nice bets for tomorrow at good prices E/W so hopefully some more coming in.

Them two Irish fancies will get very well backed weather depending am told.

Aside from the Jewson, Ryanair and World Hurdle, some of the races weren't of a great standard. A bit like yesterday.

I wish the festival was Wednesday to Saturday, with plenty of top quality throughout. The Saturday could be the extra day to run as many of the handicaps as possible, as not to dilute the other races.

Along the lines of:

Wednesday;
Supreme Novices Hurdle, The Arkle Novice Chase, Ryanair Chase, Champion Hurdle, Cross Country Chase, Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle
Thursday;
Spinal Research Handicap Chase, Neptune Novice Hurdle, RSA Chase, Champion Chase, Albert Bartlett Novice Hurdle, County Handicap Hurdle, Champion Bumper
Friday;
Triumph Hurdle, Jewson Novices Chase, World Hurdle, Gold Cup, Mares Hurdle, Fred Winter Novice Hurdle, Foxhunter Chase, Charity Race
Saturday;
Centenary Novices Handicap Chase, Martin Pipe Conditional Handicap Hurdle, Byrne Group Plate Handicap Chase, Pertems Handicap Hurdle, Grand Annual Handicap Chase, National Hunt Chase Challenge Cup, Fulke Walwyn Handicap Chase


Would stop the main days being cluttered with 'filler' races anyway and give more of a championship feel.
Either that, or run the Saturday card on the Tuesday to get people ready for the real stuff.

Think its fine as it is you can look forward to the big races in the day.

Not many would go a handicap Saturday

Depending on the ground, i will go for Denman.

If there has been the rain that has been forecast, this morning, or will be rain before the race, then that will play to his stengths more.

He is in better condition this season, and i do think Denman will go very close.

Been given a nod for Shoreacres in the last e/w at 8/1

Time for the Champ to come through. Amazed that its 12/1 with Corals this morning.

Would be alot shorter had Henderson stayed away, alot getting stuck into the big names hope he comes under the radar.

I dont normally bet but for some reason i fancied a punt. I have no clue so read a few bits on the internet and choose the following. God knows if they any good!

EW Baby Run 4pm
EW Imperial Commander 3.20
EW Zarkander 1.30

Any other tips from people on some other races?

What race is this running in? Can't see it anywhere.

Think he might mean Champion Court in the 1440

Ah fair enough thought the name of the horse was Time for the Champ



Already on Champion Court
