  • Beginning to get a little excited now. Weather turned a little, Cheltenham badge arrived in it’s little green bag and the horse is coming back in next week.

    • Yeah, I’ve started to come back on here now, having a bit of a nose…. and watch the festival highlights for the first time since the event was over

      starting to get that niggle now, especially with the dark nights drawing in. May have to dust off the laptop - no long till it all kicks off again :-)

      • Yep, roll on October. The Flat can do one!!
        Way, way behind previous season's on my AP bets but trying to just stick to quality and known targets with the majority which is proving tricky !!

        • The schools aren't open yet.... 1 more week to enjoy before reading through getting annoyed at all the prices I've missed

          ..... then posting an angry post to no-one in particular about it ....

          ...then cracking on like normal

          • Yeah, I have zero interest in flat racing. Tried a few years ago but pretty much lost any profit I made during the jumps. Just can’t get into it and miss the aspects and beauty of jump racing

            managed to avoid all flat racing this season, apart from this weekend when I flicked over to itv racing. Put £2 on, just for a laugh. Decided to go against the money - which ended up winning, the grey horse that bolted in and is now meant to be the next best thing - I don’t know, and I don’t particularly care. Was a nice little reminder that flat racing isn’t for me lol

            bring on Chepstow!!!

                Why, are we thinking there's another issue or more positive news??

                    There's a piece in the RP re him having 5 star treatment this season to keep him well so nothing untoward.

                            Iv'e got no interest in Lossie at this stage with the prices. She is a horse i definitely want to come out and get beat first time out, then i will get involved in rolling her up for a place in the CH.

                            • One i will be getting on the team sheet this week is Good Land. I will get him on board for both the Turners and BANC after Connell's comments about him expecting him to be a grade 1 chaser. That will do for me, he isn't backwards at coming forwards Barry in regards to his horses. It's worth a speculator. I will get Found A Fifty added to the Champion Chase squad too i think. Already got him on board for the Ryanair. Bar getting GDC involved yet, my Gold Cup team is done but i am waiting on two. Grangeclare West is in the Ryanair markets but i think he is a Gold Cup horse all day long. He jumps superbly and stays all day, and Cheveley Park are due another contender. One massive question mark around his well being though and Grey Dawning is in the thought process but plenty of time for that one. I would assume Skelton will go that way and let Protektorat try and retain his Ryanair crown.

                                If she gets beat pre-Cheltenham, surely they’ll revert to the weaker option and go for the Mares?
