Cheltenham 2020 / 2021

Light watering to promote grass growth when the weather's mild and sunny is good.

I just worry that he goes for 'soft' somewhere in the description for the opening day. The water table must surely be quite high still given the winter we had.
 
Guys, are we going to have 1 thread a day for each day at Cheltenham asking what we've backed etc?

Or do we think someone could start a thread now, suggesting members stick what live bets they have for the festival?

Maybe each member can update as they see fit if they back anymore?

Always nice to see who is on what etc.

Only live bets. Lets not start listing bets that aren't running because they were anti post etc.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Bet 365 have cut about 5 horses for the Ryanair in the last hour or two.

Maybe it's a sign they'll be going NRNB on some more races like the Ryanair fairly soon.

I don't know.

I thought that must have been why, Paul.

Although according to my oddschecker the NRNB tick hasn't appeared yet. I'm sure it will soon.

Was just playing around with a few databases and reports out of boredom and couldn't help but notice that Gordon Eliiot seems to have timed his horses form spot on, after a relatively quite start to the year, but if you look at the last 7 days, small sample size I know, where either Jack kennedy or JJ Codd have been riding he has an incredible 55% win rate and a 91% place - 11 runners, 6 winners and 10 places. I think it is obvious that he doid not target the DRF and everything has been geared to March. Might be value in a few of their runners that ran when the stable wasnt firing.

Never forget his first Cheltenham win. Unfancied by most but thought to be a near certainty by John Quinn and Co at Bellwood Cottage where I spent many a summer. The lads and other owner lumped on at 25/1 20/1 16/1 it was like all our birthdays came at once....You will never see a better witing ride ever. Codd had me so relaxed during the race despite for political reasons the never to be known amounts won....Best Amatuer I ever saw just made you ooze with confidence when the cash was down
 
Just reviewing yesterday and I think Tritonic is going to be the best of the home contingent in the Triumph. Whether he can cope with the Irish duo (maybe trio) is a different story!! According to the speed clock on Racing TV they hit the last at 34mph, dropped to 31mph and he put his hooves down and hit 35mph crossing the line. Doesn’t lack for finishing toe, then - mind you, it was Kempton.
 
I watched the race back this afternoon.

My initial reaction yesterday was that Tritonic looked to have quickened right away, but if you focus on the third home (Paso Doble), he reels in Casa Loupi just as fast as Tritonic goes away from him. On that basis, I’m feeling less concerned about Tritonic’s threat to Zanahiyr, and more confident that Elliott’s horse has the tools to get it done in the Triumph.

I, too, would be very surprised if anything turns up that can see off Zanahiyr. I was still impressed by Tritonic’s finishing speed, though.
 
Three Cases of the Brazillian strain Covid have been discovered in South Gloucester. Seven-day surge testing is being launched from 9 am today in five postcodes in South Gloucestershire.

The purpose is to identify anyone who may have contracted the Brazil variant and prevent it from spreading even further. Watch this space....

They aren't just going nrnb, they have added the best odds guaranteed to that stipulation too..
