Cheltenham 2021 - Ante Post Bets

[Ray]

Ive had a few goes at honeysuckle for the mares now with the latest news on her staying over hurdles it wont be long u til she is alot shorter, added to a good few multis i doubt ill go single but ive have a good go with envoi allen in a double

Still amazed they let you boost these. I got curious and requested one which they’ve now added at 1000/1 and let you boost to 1500/1. Seems generous to me.

That’s an incredible bet, a massive price for a realistic possibility. I’ve had a small stake in it even though I vowed not to involve Shiskin or Envoi Allen in anymore multiples as they appear in nearly everything!! Great spot PP, I had forgot about the Hills RYO’s section. They aren’t as competitive and varied as Sky’s RAB’s but they do produce a few gems every now and then

They've cut it to 500/1 now, boost to 717/1

Ive had one added myself, went with the following -

Billaway, Fury Road, Lisnagar Oscar, Put The Kettle On all to finish in 1st 4 places any race

added it at 66s, boosted to 75/1, happy with that

Just thinking about these #yourodds bets, would there be any appetite to create a forum 'exotic' the same way we do the yankees? Might be interesting. As people have pointed out doing a straight up 'x to win x race' is kind of pointless in these bets as you can normally find better odds just by doing an accumalator. But if you stick to 'any race' or 'place only' selections you can get a nice multiple that you wouldnt be able to get on otherwise

...good idea. As you say, it allows multiples and combinations on the a/r and place markets.

You could call it "mug bet section"

Im a plumber and finished a big job this week ran my scrap copper in and got a nice “cheltenham ante post arsenal” ive had a nice go on honeysuckle and easysland double, if they both make it i think this bet is almost nailed on, benie will be 10 i think they had the best chance to beat her this year and ive seen connections of easysland havent mentioned the national at all so id imagine the cross country is more of a target for them then it is to tiger roll?

I watched the Mares Hurdle back this afternoon, when looking at Elimay's form, and BDD had a great position and every chance, Honeysuckle quickened up nicely to take enough lead to last home.

Normal progression should see her improve further past a 10 year old she has already more than matched, Ray.

Think Willie was a little embarrassing on the day and it was pocket talk, I was in the Benie camp but agree Saxon after watching best horse won

[Ray]

Had a go on a couple of each way trebles including put the kettle on in the champion chase, shes popular on the forum so thats the reason ive got her on board, backed with fury road in the RSA and Thyme hill stayers also backed in another bet with Real steel For the king george and ballyadam in the ballymore

Apologies if another member has flagged elsewhere this but I think Princess Zoe is worth a poke for the Mares Novice based off her 2 impressive wins in competitive handicaps on the flat this week at Galway. Connections believe she is group class on the flat and hopefully a campaign over hurdles will come into fruition as the owner has already backed her for Cheltenham. I've missed out on the 66s but am happy to take the current 33s.

Owner fancies own horse....better find my wheelbarrow



Just pulling your leg, I know you aren't backing her purely based on that.
