The golden rules of Cheltenham betting.

http://www.chart-breakouts.co.uk/cheltenham%20special.htm

Going for Detroit City in the big one today.

Got it at 2/1 but there could be some late support for others.

DYOR im only here at chelters for the beer etc.

Must dash I have a champers breakfast to attend.

Life doesn't get any tougher GF. Good luck.

MS

Hi Mickey, Ill keep it short as Ive had a few today.

In general a lousy day and all outsiders doing the business. Cant complain been a cracking day social wise.

Hope some favourites win tomorrow.

Hi GF

Did you have a rewarding week? Apart from friday it looked like a bookies week and not one for the punters. Having to drink champers at 9 in the morning is a discrace. 7 is much more acceptable. Had a few last night it was my 33rd anniversary so I'm easing my way gently into the day. Having a dinner party tonight and I'm doing the cooking so I'll be pissed again, and with friends around tommorow it gonna be a boozie week end. Fantastic.

LOL
MS

Hope your having a cracking week end MS.

Sadly didnt make any money but a fantastic week away.

Glad to be back though.

With Cheltenham upon us it is very easy to get sucked into the hype and overlook value The legendary John P McManus whos Binocular is as short as 5/4 for the Champion Hurdle with some companiesI would lay himthe field at slightly odds on looks better valueHe should run a good racehas the form in the bookbut one statistic I do not like is the record of 5yosif you take last years winner Katchit out of the equation you have to go back many years to find another 5yo winnermost fancied 5yo and best placed that have bombed include:- 2007 Detroit City (USA) SP 6/4F 6th 2006 Faasel (IRE) SP 16/1 8th 2005 Essex (IRE) SP 9/1 12th 2004 Golden Cross (IRE) SP 40/1 7th 2003 Santenay (FR) SP 33/1 9th 2002 Bilboa (FR) SP 14/1 3rd and you can go back many more years to find success.Agreed not that many have been fancied over this timebut that tells a story in itself
Here are a couple against the favourite that I like very muchPUNJABI at around 33/1 and of course the resilient little Katchet 18/1 betfairmy true price on these two is almost half the above quoted oddsand may well prove an easy trade please dyor

I never recommend favs. or short prices

Given Master Minded is officially rated at 186.this is a gimmeI am not a financial advisor but to buy 40 for every hundred you invest looks a tremendous offerif you had Bernard Madoff integrity.you could even use other peoples moneyif you dont have many hundreds to spend how about taking a look at Twist Magicit is the second best horse on official ratings on 167he was giving Master Minded at least a race before coming to grief at Sandownand he has had a nice holiday leading up to this raceat 20/1...and with most places offering a concession of odds a place 5/1 less your win stake could be a better proposition.but please dyor..

I never recommend favs. or short prices
Please use this info to help your own judgement

Good luck.

As opponents of reigning Queen Mother Champion Chaser Master Minded face an apparent mission impossible taking him on in the day's feature race (1515 GMT), a fascinating statistic comes flying to their rescue.

Examination of the record books tells us that each of the last nine title-holders was defeated when defending the crown the following season.

Master Minded was a magnificent winner 12 months ago
For one reason or another, superb horses like Flagship Uberalles, Moscow Flyer and Voy Por Ustedes did not win back- to-back Queen Mothers, with Viking Flagship (1994/95) the last that did.

Jeff I am aware of those facts.and your point is very validthe previous winners you have mentioned were good fast chasers.this thing is a machine!it will be like a Ferrari taking on a Mondeo round Monzashort of three punctures the race is a one car/horse spectacle

I should have said, they were not my words but the words of cornelius Lysett (BBC)

It's good to see you working hard to keep Fortis afloat, Jeffie.

:o)

Hils
I'm doing my bit. I will take a holiday on Friday, that should save them a few bob

Nice to start the day with a winner. Took about 17/1 EW on betfair this morning

As per my post #64, I had an e/w bet on all of Ruby Walsh's rides today.
9.30 paid 57.30. Very lucky to have got a 22/1 winner which helped the pot. But I am sure Sportingbet can afford it!!!

Not long now, anyone going?

I dont usually bet ante post, but I've had a bet on MONTBAZON in the Supreme Nov Hurdle on Tuesday.
