COUNTY Handicap Hurdle 2021

[Stormez]

I’ve had a little interest on Le Patriote this morning. The ground has come right for him just in time, and he’s nicely handicapped now, especially with the jockeys claim

Never a surprise to see the Doc land one at a big price either.

Another one for Le Patriote here, main bet will be Edwardstone. Fairly simple case to make - gets his ground today, ran creditably in last year’s Supreme.

- All bar Saint Roi of the last seven had been beaten in a Cheltenham Hurdle

Not sure if this is right, I know Mohaayed ran in the Christmas Hurdle, cant recall a CH run
Superb Story aswell

I do think this is a decent trend to use, but the two that ran in last years CH - Darasso and Le Patriote.
0.10 pts on Darasso (120's on Betx), just in case

I’ll end up with a few like many here

on Eclair and Ganapathi antepost already

have gone e/w on Ganapathi again

I’ve won 1.8pts from free spins on betfair so have put that on Getaway Gorgeous on the exchanges, 0.9pt at 90.0 to win, and 0.9pt at 17/2 to place 6 places

I keep coming back to Ciel du Neige though, seems to be drifting a bit, but he is only 1lb higher than last year where he was backed as a good thing. Sky have given me a 2pt free bet and I’m not sure why so that is going on 1pt e/w at 22/1

Cayd Boy looks like he has been laid out for this aswell, 1pt e/w at 20/1

Finally Captain Kangaroo is an absolute cliff horse of mine so I might aswell lose more money on with 0.5pt e/w @18/1

Fancied horses: Champagne Gold/Third Time Lucki/
Outsiders: Ciel de Niege/Saint D'ouroux/Cayd Bay/Eclair de Beaufeu


1 Belfast Banter 33/1
2 Petit Mouchoir 22/1
3 Milkwood 28/1
4 Eclair de Beaufeu 11/1

I thought Third Time Lucki might do it but he ran out of gas. Hard to fancy the winner - was a 7l 5th in an Ascot Handicap in December but this was a much better run imho. Maybe the ground was a factor.

[FinalFurlong91]

Champagne gold 5/1 with the bookies 15.0 on betfair exchange

[opatcho]

OMG! I'm shaking!

[FinalFurlong91]

OMG! I'm shaking!

Think that's the biggest priced winner iv ever backed

only had a few pounds on but at 60.0 on betfair you don't need much on

Nice one FinalFurlong!!!
I could see him in midfield, and thought he was going to get blocked in and then on the way up the hill I thought he'd fade, but he kept on going!

wrong thread

[opatcho]

What a run from Petite M

That 'ran in the previous' CH trend, I just bloody remembered that PM was in it last year - my brain is fried, how did I miss that! lol

[Big Bucks]

Sometimes you just have to back something because of the name!! Not the best result but still a nice saver on Belfast Banter with a few placings!

I was shouting on milkwood then I saw him coming through, still didn't think he'd win as he never battles

But for some reason today he did

Third time Lucki would've done it if Harry hadn't gone for home 5f from the finish.
