His price will collapse imo if beautiful sound wins the next race

good call regardless of the price

Had Junior @ 5/1
Also backed Big Bucks (@ 11/10) and a few other small winners and e/w that paid off.

I havent got involved in this race, but there has been a punt on Plato. Was 7/2 and 11/4 last night. Henry Cecil, who has expressly wanted a runner in the race as he is a great supporter of cancer charities and they have an actual jockey - well within reason - Lorna Bradbourne - sister to Mark Bradbourne - rode as a poor conditional a few years back. I have absolutely no idea that the prices at the moment (11/8) is value.

The Binocular situation might have something to do with that - not long after the Barber Shop situation too. Maybe the other horses that are running aren't getting their usual "help" - with the stable being somewhat under the spotlight at the minute.

Spirit Son, Caroles Legacy, Finian's Rainbow and Quantitiveasing all finished second on day one and Oscar Whisky and Sprinter Sacre finished third in their respective races.

It's Cheltenham so its not easy for anyone
Paul Nicholls has only had 2 winners and one of them was what many consider a banker.

What did ye think of Jason Maguires ride on Beautiful Sound yesterday?

Had a nice bet on e/w and I was well happy he got up for second in the end. A lot of people in the pub were giving out s*** at the ride but in fairness to Maguire he has never before ridden the horse or probably for the stable even as it was Davy Five Bellies Russell's ride.

Edit: Sorry, I forgot it was Gordon Elliotts... thought it was Charles Byrnes. Maguire has rode for Elliot loads of times, I think they are best-friends actually!
