    Cheltenham Handicaps

    Just been messaging a pal about the same thing, DO. My immediate take (as explained to him) was that there’s no bonus now, and if Cheltenham was always the plan straight after here, then he has run an absolutely tremendous trial for the County. that said, I reckon your assessment is entirely...

    I’m not feeling it....

    Yep, that’s fair. I did the Ultima yesterday, and it took a good hour just to pull the data into my spreadsheet. I’m travelling tomorrow, and I’m going to be time-limited out in Spain before Tuesday. Also, I’ll only have the phone with me, and it’s next to impossible to work with data on a...

    To be honest, the closer it gets, the more forgiving my mood becomes.

    The 2024 Longshot Thread

    You need try harder, DO. i’ve backed Gold Dancer at 1000 for both novice hurdles! :lol: Correction. It was only an average of 611 for the Gallagher, so marginally less insane.

    Been there and done it as you know, Paul. Maybe it is partially an age thing, but the Festival is an immeasurably more shitty experience now than it was 10 years ago, let along 20 years ago. Also, consider the flip-side. Perhaps your years in the Outback means you view it more fondly and more...

    Brave Inca

    Cantoris, though that was his name on the old Neigh forum. Can’t recall if he had same moniker here. Think his real name was Oran. Got into syndication for a bit after Inca, but not sure if it went too well.

    Brave Inca

    Grand yoke. Well named too - game as a pebble. It was a great time in hurdling when Inca, Hardy, Macs Joy and Houndibald were taking each other on.

    Cheltenham Going on Day 1?

    Just spotted that on Twitter/X, JamesRB. If it's accurate, it has dried-out a hell of a lot in a couple of days.

    Cheltenham Festival:Thursday Races

    Seems a bit far out to be going that negative on him, though I’ve not checked TurfTrax or forecast, to be honest.

    Cheltenham Festival: Wednesday Races

    FWIW, Ballyburn had gone a shade odds-on on exchange for the Gallagher, just before they suspended the market for Confirmations.

    Tanlic, it’s ante-post betting and the dangers are clear to everyone. There’s nae point greetin’ like a wee lassie who has skint her knee! :lol:

    Cheltenham Festival: Tuesday Races

    Garlic Warrior now Arkle fave (for buttons). The market for the first two G1s of the Festival are a fu*cking shambles. :lol:

    Cheltenham Festival: Tuesday Races

    Hunters Yarn now Arkle fave on the exchange. Market remains an absolute basket-case. Mystical Power now within 1.0 of Ballyburn’s price in the Supreme.

    FFS. Please no, Trunch. Anything but that. The hysterical overreaction would want to make a grown-man puke.

    Can only speak for myself, but a fu*ckload of winners would probably do it.
