Cheltenham 2019 Ante-Post bets

[Kevloaf]

Obviously a bit early to be thinking about the Pertemps in March but I'm going to keep my eye on Moon Racer after today at Newbury.
Stepped up to 3 miles for the first time he came a creditable 3rd so now qualified - I think he needed the run so hopefully they can keep him sound and also protect his mark which was still 6lbs below his rating when in the CH a few years ago.

Certainly an interesting project - I can't imagine he gets missed in the market at any point though unfortuantely. Pipe targetting the race, a festival winner and a pretty high profile horse all things considered. My guess is that he'll be priced up fav ante post

i'd like to congratulate Unhomme for being the first person to come up with Moon racer as an option for cheltenham next year.
Looks desperate to me, not a plot, will be ten yrs old next March and has no chance.
And like Kev said, may be priced up according to the punters who have had a love for this horse, although I'm not sure the bookies are even worried anymore.
I did put a small bet on for the county last year though, so you never know.
Thank fuck it didn't win today or they'd have gone for the stayers.

Moon Racer has been readily overrated over the past couple of seasons IMO. Another horse who has lived off winning the Champion Bumper at the festival but not up to the standard thereafter.

I wouldn't part with anyone else's money for this horse, let alone my own.

Vision des Flos hurdling tomorrow ?
Colin's at it again.

If he wins tomorrow, where does he go next? The beauty of the backing him in the any race market I suppose.

classic tizzard, well its a stayers hurdle trial. But he certainly dosent want 3 miles. He makes the any race market redundant.

Watch him take a keen hold and tank through the race tomorrow.

Funny bit of placing, If he runs really well he'll ruin a reasonable hurdles handicap mark.

Unless good old Col has a change of tact and finally starts running them in some handicaps.

Agree about not wanting 3 miles, do not get the entry at all. Think the Thistlecrack trick went to his head, now every horse gets a go at 3m over hurdles for him!

He frustates the hell out of me, as he has some very good horses. Unfortunately I get sucked in to backing the horses as opposed to relying on the trainer, who tends to mess them about!

[SeanRock]

I’d have him over fences at 2m let him tank along at his own pace. Would probably improve his jumping as he obviously doesn’t like being too restrained.

Vision des flos.

"took keen hold, tracked leaders, went 2nd before 6th, challenged next, led 4 out, headed before last, no impression on winner flat"

He’s a two miler, it’s as plain as day

I can't 2nd guess tizzard he could literally go anywhere next. Champion hurdle trial or a 2m novice chase. Logical.


But he literally could well run him in a 3m hurdle and think that was an encouraging run for a try at the stayers. He mopped up that listed race over 2m, and he put him back up in trip to the ballymore even though hed shown he dosent stay the trip. I'll never see that as making sense.
