Welcome Bert.

I thought For Pleasure was a novice, and would be going for the Supreme?

33/1 for the Champion Hurdle is a bit tight isn't it? On balance....



Welcome On The Blind Side too

Yes sorry, wasn’t all that clear! 33/1 for the Betfair now into 20/1.

Trading at 100/1 for the champion. The trial he won was the supreme so I’m surprised too they’re not going in for that but doesn’t have an entry for it.

Entries aren't out yet are they ?

Wasn’t in the early closer.

Don't want to labour this in what's almost certainly the wrong place, but are we saying Alex Hales has been talking rubbish when specifically name-checking the Supreme?

For what it's worth, I like your pal's horse for the Supreme so me and my wallet will both be disappointed if indeed they are skipping the (up until now) obvious target.

He’s clearly got a better chance of winning the supreme. I mean it’s not like trainers to always be dead upfront and honest is it?

Hello everyone. Been a lurker for a long time.

33 years of age, huge Leicester city fan along with the horses.

Seems like there’s some very good people with lots of knowledge on here. Been into racing since I turned 18 and fell in love with Alberta’s Run. What a horse. Looking forward to a good Cheltenham, gutted not to be there this year as I’ve been to the last ten!

A friend of mine is the owner of “For pleasure” won at the last festival trials day in the Sunday. Has a champion hurdle entry. Waiting for his prep run at Newbury before making a final decision on whether he runs in it. But on it big time at 33’s.

Wait, the Bert of FoxesTalk fame? Haha, been a lurker there for many years. Always good to have another Leicester fan on the forum.

Guilty as charged my friend.

Hi All, decided to get stuck in after lurking for a while. I'm a Yorkshire resident from the Midlands and a big Stoke City fan. Love the Jumps season and probably the only upside to lockdown has been the time freed up to concentrate on it a bit more fully. I play for an amateur football team on Saturdays which has made my interest more passive than I'd like over the last couple of years, but it's been an absolute godsend lately.

Cheltenham fever is obviously high, can't wait for the week and trying to keep the twinge of regret about not actually being there to a minimum. We usually have a group of us staying closeby towards South Cerney, and our routine dictates that The Beehive in Prestbury is our stop for pre-racing entertainment.

Really impressed with the discussion on here, always plenty of healthy challenge, good debate, and very little snobbery from what I've seen. Looking forward to getting stuck in.

Cheers, BBS

Hi & welcome BBS, I like a good visit to the Beehive on Bouncers Lane, you don't usually have to leave too early!

Welcome from one Stoke City fan to another! This really is a great place. Enjoy.

Afternoon all! First started with the flat but eventually fell in love with the proper stuff and have never been the same since. Please forgive my username being a flat horse, it was my first proper big win and paid for my first lads holiday in Faliraki (which was shite, a complete sausage fest and R&B music almost exclusively). Luckily i've had some far better holidays since and even the odd bigger winner. 99% of my betting is on the jumps these days and i've been a long term fan of this place, really enjoy the antepost focus, gives the festival an all year round feel which is great given I can never take my mind off the place. Cheers!

My first lads holiday was Faliraki as well, but back in the last 90s when it was fantastic. Welcome aboard

Exactly, when some smart alec gets “one in for the road” at 12:40 you know it’s going to be a dash to catch the first...

I fear that a couple of us were finally encouraged to call it a night at around 4am last year after several for the road - none of that this year!

Hi all, having spent a bit of time over the last couple of days reading through the forums, I thought I'd take a couple of minutes to introduce myself.
I'm Aaron, been following NH racing for the past 20 years. I have good memories of lots of horses but my absolute favourite is Denman, what an era of staying chasers that was.
I can't wait to start getting involved with the discussions, WOW there's some knowledgeable folk on here. And the festival Yankee idea...Brilliant!! Let's make some ??.
