Cheltenham 2026

[Marble]

Croke Park in the same race now as well, so down to 7 runners and 2 places.

I'm becoming a conspiracy theorist.

Home By The Lee; my stopped clock moment of 2026.
Should have taken the 200/1 off you Euro !

 

[Frankel]

Say what the hell!

You were just waiting for the petrol to run out on the Skelton one.

Gutted Ballyburn got his ground taken at the last. He was a very tricky ride for PT and I thought he might get there until that.

 

[granger]

Apparently brokered by Davy Russell who loved to thump an opponent on occasion....

 

[Double J]

Willies fuming.

Wont be bringing his horses again on ground like this.

 

[jinnyj]

Granger - that is brilliant!

 

[jinnyj]

Bit annoyed that FTF is out as had he run it would have been a complete list from my TTF running this week....well that's providing no more are N/R

 

[Danny]

I don't think there have been many bigger Wtf moments than that in Cheltenham history.

 

[maureen]

Think this is the first year in living memory that I haven’t had an ew on Home by the Lee. Typical.

Travelled as well as Harchibald all those years ago.

Jonbon into fav for the next (what will be his 5th run of the season). Think this will be a very hard task for him, he was all out to beat Pic Dor'hy.

He is right to send out the message

They got it wrong waiting for the elements, next year's ground will certainly have soft in it

The hole was always coming.

Lay

Lay

Have backed impaire et passe with a small stake but if I had the confidence and funds I'd definitely be laying

 

[Part time punter]

Few each way fancies today, nothing silly though.

Echoing Silence - Like this one.
Ben Solo, bottom weight and would have probably won had not unseated. Horses finishing 2nd and 3rd have won off higher marks since. Place chance
Idem - no real odea why this stands out to me. Just that the yard is in form. Failed last year and yet they have come again.
Herakles Westwood - Was too far at the meeting last year where they tried to hold it up and save some energy but had nothing left in the tank. Back over shorter back to better runs and at the course. Should place.

Thought I was getting a return coming over the last from Idem. Run out of the places, had taken 80s this morning too. Rest of my picks been awful lol

 

[jinnyj]

Had a pants day today - some placed but nothing getting there in front. Bit gutted about Ballyburn as well as I think being impeded at the last cost him vital momentum.

 

[yorick]

This Waterford Whispers is bred to get every yard of this trip. It's the first they've tried on the racecourse.

He'll improve for it, certainly, for me.

Some week for Mrs William's tram.
Winner and a second from 2 runners; some return for them.

 

[granger]

Where is DO? Did not see him post all week
