Cheltenham Festival 2019.

[Togo]

Here we are again, the best NH meeting in the World bar non. Awful weather will not spoil the spectacle, a tough lot these NH lads and lassies. I have done the Placepot and Jackpot and put the first 4 runners in a little bet of their own. Will see how it pans out and whether I need to do a cover later. Have had a single bet in the 2.10 to qualify for the free bet in the 3.30.

Al Dancer @9/2 1.30
Hardline @5/1 2.10
Mister Whitaker @8/1 2.50
Laurina @10/3 3.30
Lady Buttons 4.10
Tower Bridge 4.50

£1.00 Win Acca. 4 X 40p Trebles. 6 X 40p Doubles.

[Togo]

I did have a winner Ken. Bleedin Tavener at Lingfield. It was 10/1 as well when I was looking to put the ITV7 on. :((

[-Talbot-]

Just laid Bbold for one reason...there had been 6 winning favs on the trot.

It lost...the horse not the bet.

[Ken4155]

Just watched that race Talbot - had a rev f/c on the 2nd and 3rd :-(
Togo; You said that would happen. Still have a few 'live' bets but i did get Josie's Orders @ 9/2 without the fav - a long, long way 2nd (Tiger Roll absolutely hosed home), but still 2nd:-)

[Togo]

Tiger Roll looked as if it could run again tomorrow and win the Gold Cup. Superb display in what used to be a Hunters race.

[Ken4155]

Also got the last @ 7/2, returning £22.50. Which, along with the £11 from Josie's Orders and the £10 refund from the first race loser = £43.50. A very slight profit on the day and even slighter profit on the 2 days taking all free bets and refunds into account. There's always tomorrow :-)

[-Talbot-]

I thought mine was coming to win :0(

Did lay another losing fav at Huntingdon though so all in all not a bad day.

[PankySmooch]

Everyone else in the pub was having winners yesterday except me, only my e/w on Politoloque saved a complete blank.
Today’s bets are...
1.30 Defi Du Seoul
2.10 First Assingnment, THeclockisticking e/w
2.50 Road To Respect, Balko Des Flos e/w
3.30 Faugheen
4.10 Eamon An Cnoic,
Didero Vallis e/w
4.50 Emily Moon
5.30 Any Second Now, Just A Sting e/w

Good luck all

[Ken4155]

Morning and good luck, Panky. Got my sums totally Dianne Abbott last night. Yesterday's £43.50 return means that, on the 2 days, i am £19.50 down. Hoping to put that right today but have yet to look.Back later with selections that will knock the bookies bowlegged :-)))

[Togo]

You are certainly an early starter Panky. Been no better myself, but today changes that. I have stuck with the horses that have won for me before in 4 of the races with the other 2 being winners from across the water. Left the Place&Jackpots alone today and just done a 6 horse 50p E/W Acca instead. The odds are miles better even after taking extra place reduced odds, certainly on yesterdays returns anyway. The usual bet on the first 4 runners and cover later to be had probably. Have a single on the 2.50 and a free bet in the first both on the horses named.

Kildisart @9/1 1.30
Sire Des Berlais @9/2 2.10
Frodon @13/2 2.50
Black Op @11/1 3.30
Modus @20/1 4.10
Epatante @2/1 4.50

First 4 runners. £1.00 E/W Acca. 4 X 20p E/W Trebles. 6 X 20p E/W Doubles.

[Togo]

Haha Morning Ken. Someone called her Dianne Abacus last week. Gonna have a look at the ITV7 as well. It is free.

[Togo]

Did the ITV7. It is up to £300k today. The Cheltenham runners as my previous choices and the Market Rasen pair are Et Moi Alors 2.25, Lord Getaway 3.05

Forgot to add; Total stake £42.50

[-Talbot-]

Vindication
To get the free bet and that will go on...
Monalee

[Ken4155]

In response to an email from Ladbrokes informing me of a £1 free bet, i also saw that i had a £5 free bet (can't remember how i qualified) to be used on any Cheltenham race. So;

1.30; £1 FB on Lostintranslation @ 4/1 = £4
2.50; £5 FB on Monalee @ 9/2 = £22.50

I had wanted to do the Defi Du Seuil/Lostintranslation forecast but the freeby was for win/e.w. bets only.

[Togo]

What a race, what a horse, what a jockey. Bryony Frost makes history. I was surprised that you did not do Frodon Ken after it's last race when it hosed up with lumps of weight.

[-Talbot-]

I've laid Paisley Park here.

[-Talbot-]

That's bad news for my eldest lad....he won 100 on the last race and put it on Paisley Park

I told him if it won he was out on his ear...I will miss him.

[Togo]

Haha. Have you sorted an exit deal? (^_*)

[Ken4155]

Frodon didn't tick many of the stats boxes, Togo, whereas Monalee did :-(. Chose the wrong lady rider. Can't complain so far, though, with £ 20 on 3/1 winner and the f/c in the first (£1.50 rev f/c paid £22.70 odd)
