Can't be arsed checking if there's already a horse-racing or Cheltenham thread somewhere. Who's been watching it? Ireland get the first big one with Hurricane Fly putting in a fantastic ride under Ruby Walsh in the Champion Hurdle. Ruby already on 2 winners having won the first of the Festival on Al Ferof.
Picked 4 out today in a Lucky 15 Sprinter Sacre 3rd 11/1 Realt Dubh 3rd 17/2 Hurricane Fly 1st 7/2 Quevega 8/11 (Yet to run)
Shoved Laddies £1 free bet in The Sun on Nadiya De La Vega in the last here at a big price, wont give 2 shits if it doesnt win like, was free so.
What a day for the Irish. 6 out of the 7 winners trained in Ireland, including the big one, the Queen Mother Chase won by Sizing Europe.
Have made two bets so far. Carlito Brigante (Thank god for that film) yesterday and Noble Prince today. I'm a happy camper.
Get Me Out of Here and Final Approach photo finish. Great race. I think Get Me Out of Here just nicked it, but great finish from Final Approach.
Nope, Final Approach stole it on the line in the Photo Finish. Another Irish win, but great race, grat finish.
It has no chance in all fairness. I like Long Run and Pandorama for the Gold Cup, though I totally understand why Imperial Commander is favourite, he is the one to beat.
OK, the ground isn't as soft as it was predicted to be, so maybe less of a chance for Padorama. Long Run is favourite now. Kempes is getting a lot of backing in the betting. Keep an eye on him.
Cleaning up... Backing Imperial. Had Zarkandar Final Approach and and Bobs Worth backed so happy enough regardless.
