Just got a job to No 1 Cheltenham Ave.

It's a sign.

Another Cheveley monster. Zanahiyr has less pace than me.

Tongue tie on, keen early, drying ground. Was a lay all day. Lovely ride from Rachael Blackmore again there though.

Selected the wrong horse of the two I backed for the comp but happy with the results! Had Vanillier at 20s and happy with the drift for Streets of Doyen.

Won really well, thought it had gone too early.

Would Al Boum Photo have won? Doubt it but Townend just had his pants pulled down.

Twat !

I'll still get paid out many times but really needed a win for a big chunk of dough.

He didn't jump well at all so that took something out of him definitely and he had to get off the rail to give him a run just unlucky that he was squeezed in.

Blackmore slammed the door on him when they were really going some, cost him a few lengths that he never recovered from. Not the first time Blackmore has shown him up this week. Think he cost Kilcruit a win and he could definitely have been closer there.

Just got my first pay out and looking forward to see my balances shoot up in the next 10 minutes or so.

Oh yeah I agree but I don't think he had much of an option though had to get him out. Jack Kennedy is an absolute superstar he'd never let him sneak up his inside.

Cheers. If it would've won I reckon I would've won well over £750 with all the bets I've been doing it in since Christmas. Ah well. Iam deffo up for the week.

Rachel has made a mug of Townsend several times this week.

Really annoyed to see minella Indo do that to be honest, was a big fan of his but the RSA and
his last two races really put me off.

liversaint · « **Reply #4214 on:** March 19, 2021, 03:39:35 pm »

Half an hour before the race, someone posted on Betfair that not riding Minella Indo is the only mistake Rachel Blackmore will make today. Fair shout.

kesey · « **Reply #4215 on:** March 19, 2021, 03:51:55 pm »

Had Porlock Bay at 16/1 in an EW treble .

De Bromhead always maintained he'd win a gold cup but you couldn't back him after those 3 races.

The second leg was Colreevy but Betfred won't let me view my open bets again. I think it's Gabynako .

It is Gabynako .

Me arse has gone .

kesey · « **Reply #4220 on:** March 19, 2021, 05:02:38 pm »

Hit the post again but boxed clever and backed the winner 8/1 ew . Second ew and the third ew.

Can't complain.

FlashGordon · « **Reply #4221 on:** March 19, 2021, 05:05:03 pm »

Boooooooom great end to a great week. Back the best jockey in the race in the Martin Pipe and you won't be too far away.

Had a well weird day yesterday, backed a 56/1 winner and a 28/1 winner and still only finished about level.

Took 56/1 Belfast banter but only £1 EW, and 28/1 Vanillier, also just a quid each way, but had so many bigger bets go down.

Jonbon, Douvan’s brother starts out under rules today at Newbury. He’s odds on but you’d be wanting to see something nice for 570k.

I wouldn't back one of Henderson's to win a donkey derby at the moment

In all seriousness though, hopefully he lives up to the price tag.

Global Heat out in the Dubai Gold cup

Been following this horse for a few years but has disappointed

backed it at 10/1 anyway.

edit: ah well

Unlucky Pete. Hate Meydan personally, not sure I've ever backed a winner there. Some horses absolutely despise the kickback.

Like Top Rank in that race, step up in class for him but I really like him. Surprised he's that short against Kameko though, not sure I'll be backing him at those prices.

Speaking of horses you've been following

kesey · « **Reply #4229 on:** March 29, 2021, 01:01:55 pm »

I've been doing trebles the past week . The first two are footie bets and the last is a horse in the National. So far I need Cloth Cap for £67 , Lord Du Mesnil for £188 , Kimberlite Candy for £180 and Yala Enki for £322. All EW. I need to get Burrows Saint and Any Second Now in some bets . I've got Potters Corner too in an EW single.

kesey · « **Reply #4230 on:** March 30, 2021, 11:30:00 am »

Burrows Saint is on my list now as two footie ones won last night.

It does take a bit of the excitement out of it but it's all about profit. I need to get Any Second Now into one . You watch ... not one will get placed and an 80/1 shot will piss it.

Discorama and The Storyteller for me I think.

I've been reading up on the latter so I may have to shoe horn that one into a bet too .

Mark Grant just rode his last race at Newton Abbott; I was expecting Luke Harvey to interview him.

Instead, Luke interviewed Dickie Johnson - the reason? He’s just announced HIS retirement. A brilliant jockey and a brilliant bloke. Happy retirement; so many memories of so many great rides.

Crouch Potato · « **Reply #4236 on:** April 4, 2021, 03:00:08 pm »

Just watched Echoes In Rain absolutely hack up in a 2m novice hurdle at Fairyhouse, i'd be shocked if it's not a major contender at Cheltenham next year.

Some bookies already going as short as 8/1 for Mares Hurdle next year.

kesey · « **Reply #4237 on:** April 4, 2021, 06:08:42 pm »

You can add Any Second Now to my list .

I got lucky with a horse today and a footie bet in a treble.

50/1 .

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #4238 on:** April 4, 2021, 07:04:02 pm »

Shark Hanlon said Skyace was a certainty before she won today and he’d told the owners to have what they wanted on her. Don’t know why I didn’t listen to him.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #4239 on:** April 5, 2021, 05:41:22 pm »

Guess we’re all counting our winnings after backing the Irish National winner at 150/1.
