im starting to get a bit excited now with only 2 weeks to go come tuesday so ive had a cheeky £50.00 on irivng @ 3/1 in the supreme novices hurdle, this things a total beast in my book so will most likely back again on the day.
IT WAS confirmed on Sunday night that Annie Power will take on four-time Ladbrokes World Hurdle champion Big Buck's at Cheltenham in 11 days' time, when she will be ridden by Ruby Walsh, who rode Big Buck's to all of his festival victories.
Quickly had a bet on Quevega @4/5 with William Hill. (Now that Annie Power has been allocated a spot, Quevega's price will drop,as Annie Power was entered in the Mare's hurdle)
I'm liking my ew L15 I placed on Boxing Day. Being greedy I also placed an ew acca, and a 2nd ew acca, but equally divided. Amazing that they all look to be going in one piece, AND running in the right race for me.
Well after Terry's dip into the festival. I've just placed the following Lucky15 ew. Gone with Ladbrokes because the four prices combined are much better with them. But unlike Terry, I'm not sensible. I've picked two horses with multiple opportunities. As a result I'm getting juicier prices. Just hoping I've picked the race I think the trainer (Mullins both times) will target. Put the bet on today because two of the horses running over Xmas.
The New One - 3/1 Champion Hurdle (if it beats MTOY on B' Day on a course better suited to MTOY will defo go shorter).
Ballycasey - 12/1 RSA Chase (defo be targeted at the RSA as was running over 3 miles in PTP's as a 4 year old).
Big Bucks - 11/4 World Hurdle (if it gets to the start line prob be 1/1 or thereabouts).
Briar Hill - 8/1 Albert Bartlett (think Mullins will target this as he looks a thorough stayer, again ran over 3 miles in PTP's as a 4 year old, powered up the hill in last years Bumper, and Mullins has speedier types for the other novice hurdle races).
Goes without saying, if I was allowed just the one winner next week it would be Champagne Fever for reasons only too obvious. Just let it go from the front Ruby and grind them down ala last years Supreme Novice. Tbh there's only Rock On Ruby who can match its form over the smaller obstacles.
Cheltenham Champion Hurdle My Tent Or Yours 6/1 Posted by wynne1938
MY TENT OR YOURS has sustained a "little puncture wound" in one of his feet but the injury is not expected to prevent him from running in the Stan James Champion Hurdle next week, trainer Nicky Henderson said on Tuesday. 10 hours agoMore
DUAL Cheltenham Festival-winner Cue Card will not run again this season, trainer Colin Tizzard revealed to the Racing Post on Thursday.
Tizzard ruled his stable star out of this year's festival last week with what appeared to be pulled muscles but further investigation have revealed a minor stress fracture of the pelvis.
My 1st foray into next weeks h'cps.... Smashing in The County Hurdle. 20/1 best price with Skybet, NRNB, and if the sp is bigger, (though I can guarantee it won't be, it will be single figures) u get paid the bigger price.
With Ruby only having Mullins, only Ha Ha and hopefully he might make some wrong choices.
I have had a little bet on Tom Scudamore to be top jockey.
Pipe could have a good Cheltenham this year and with Scudamore having a squeak with The Giant Bolster and Next Sensation his 33-1 to be top jock looks good value.
