wondered why I couldnt hear my horse in commentary. Do I get my money back?

Edit
Yes is the answer

Jeffhave had the last three Cheltenham winners in multiples.if Chomba Womba wins the last you will hear me in Bexley.I noticed you have selected Comba and GARDE CHAMPETRE as well.good day all round thenI will try and find out if your horse came under ordersI dont think it did so you should be ok..

Tabby
You will need to cheer louder as I am in Brussels. Chomba Womba for me too

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
