Cheltenham 2019 Ante-Post bets

[MrMcGoldrick]

Given that most people on here still want to concentrate on Cheltenham, why not do a monthly ante post yankee for the forum. Doesn't have to be big money with the prices on offer, and it would maintain a good level of interest and chatter throughout the year. If just one paid off it could be a nice pick up, if not it keeps the forum ticking over with ideas.

Good idea that Mr M, you can never have enough Cheltenham yankees....

Does anyone know if William Hills to win any race prices are available in shop? I went in last summer and the guy couldn’t find them on the system so rang up and was told they are for online customers only, seems daft

I backed Samcro in the shop at 10s any race in May so should be possible. Slightly annoying thing is as it was longer than 6 months before the event they won't payout in the shop and I have to send it off to their HQ and they'll send me a cheque.

The two hills shops near me wouldn't allow me to bet on this market in shop so it may differ from shop to shop

Like the sound of that

Scooby,

I think you put up De Bon Coeur for the Champion Hurdle as an outside chance she’d come but was a big price if she did NRNB.
Did you see her win that good race at Auteil on Sunday?
Her jockey never moved.

Such a shame she never came over

Very impressive! What are the chances of her coming over next year?

King Socks for the plate, I think will be a cracking bet, Pipes stable clearly in atrocious form, has a year to sort that. Might go for Paddy Power Gold Cup or whatever its called now, hopefully then be kept for this.

Kings Socks impressed me greatly at fest. Could be big star next season.

You must be expecting a huge amount of improvement to challenge Altior.

He hasn't done anything than Min couldn't have done yet... he'll need to be a clear stable number 1 in the 2 mile chase division for me to think he'd beat an on-form Altior

I was very impressed by Great Field the other day in beating Doctor Pheonix. A young and improving chaser to worry Altior in the 2019 QMCC. Willie will have a live chance with this one. Douvan will be trained for the Gold Cup I reckon.

I'm going through my figures for Cheltenham and other recent meetings and tweaking here and there after looking at the races again . Whilst going down the list of eyecatchers I saw this horse again although it didn't run at the Fez. I've convinced myself that Great Field is the real deal now. He won this race very easily. Unextended . The proximity of Doctor Pheonix who I consider to be a solid GD.3 horse over 2M if you just read the bare result belies the actual ease and domination of Great Field during the race. This was his first run after a layoff so it's likely that he's a deal better than this as well.Another good bit of form was easily beating Ordinary World by 11L in a canter. I think I might have a E/W bet. 20s I'm on.

Just a thought on the idea of ap yankees for the fez, maybe it would be a good idea to look at the championship races first, make our initial choice one where we can be reasonably sure of targets, then add in other races with less obvious ones, but decent prices, as the year progresses. If we agree regularly on selections I don't think it matters if we end up with more than one a month, it's up to the individual how much they spend, if you want to do a 20p yankee it's a couple of quid, probably not for most of us but the options there, what does everyone think, ideas are flowing already, we may as well try to tie them in, then we can mix n match

First bet down today, 25s on Sizing Potsie for the Supreme. Wanted to get on board before the bumper at Fairyhouse this weekend

If we do one every month, make the recurring date an agreed day?

Maybe the 1st of every month

I’m open tbh. The idea of Cheltenham Yankees throughout the year was a good one. Keeps interest on the forum high over the summer.

Sounds good, doesn't give us a lot of time to finalise one for the 1st April, but if we start with the championship races I think it almost picks itself.
Gold cup PP/might Bite
Champ hurdle BVD/Melon
QM Altior/?
Stayers Penhill/Supasundae

Only initial suggestions obviously, I'm fully open to starting with shorties, or longer priced ones, or one of each, just wanna build up a good portfolio of bets using a cross section of chances
