Cheltenham 2020 Analysis - What did I learn, with 2021 in mind

[Quevega]

Thanks Joleg, and the Eurovision bit is true

Iceland could have been a 100 pointer this year I reckon and surpassed your Frankel bets.

Kev, thats some effort. Fair play sir, to drill it down so much and to be so open with the forum. Delighted you had a fantastic festival, the effort you put in throughout the year deserves that.

I'd say i rivalled you on the Min front for the person who was cheering him home the loudest (i prob need to get stuck in more on the forum to prove my loyalty ha). Absolutely love the horse, would be my favourite in training alongside Faugheen.
Well done again Kev.

Good to read there is another Min fan out there. Right little club he has going on here now

Wow, that was a lot to digest. Some very pertinent and sound feedback and advice from you there. I think most of us experienced many similar paths and outcomes. It was brilliant though wasn’t it. I too had planned to take it easy until the season restarts but I’m happy aiming a few small stakes at the roll over doubles & trebles to secure a few fancies in the AP market. Congratulations on your successes and hopefully next season is as enjoyable and lucrative

In the lay column perhaps

I hadn't actually seen it but have heard plenty of opinion on it! I purposfully go into the Semi Final's blind and back my judgement.


My mate has created his own cersion of it this year, using each nation's "best ever" and he's got people to cote and send in their scores. He's putting a video together and we're all going to watch as the mock Eurovision happens with us only knowing our own results.



He has put some SERIOUS effort in, I'm really looking forward to it

Haha, open and honest... I have nothing to prove to anyone It's a miracle I've lasted so long on this forum given how much of a gobshite I can be, but thanks, very kind words.

Certainly wouldn't have guessed Sprinter Sacre wouldn't have made your top 2 horses in training though! You looking for a name change or something

We don't actually have anyone named after 'Min'!

Good to read there is another Min fan out there. Right little club he has going on here now

The ironic thing for me regarding Min is I was an absolute menace on here when people fancied him to beat Altior in the Arkle and beyond.

[KingSprinterSacre]

Ha, by that i meam horses that are still in training (though that statement may need to be revised again if Faugheen is now retired).
Nothing will ever touch Sprinter but i do love me some Min

Great save

[riccirich]

Might be worth having a Eurovision thread each year actually, its a great opportunity for a big windfall. I had Cyprus to win it it at 500/1 on the exchanges a couple years ago, only for that fucking chicken song to beat them on the last vote haha

[Rhinestone_Cowboy]

Min was probably my favourite winner of the Festival. Interestingly I was positioned down at the finish line for the Ryanair yet I found the finale so gripping I couldn’t take my eyes of the big screen despite him crossing the line in front of me.

Sorry should add great write up Kev, will try and muster some responses to your questions over the next few days

Oh yes, don't I know it

But you was also correct re: Min/Altior, much to my disappointment!

[Lobos]

No way Min will get up that hill, hates Cheltenham. Who the duck said that.............

I was so fed up of the Min 'love in' on here that I actually had a nice saver on him on the day. Can't believe I did that !!!

I thought Min was done for, when I saw Saint Calvados come to challenge, Townend saying not today
