National Hunt Ante-Post tipping challenge

Harry Angstrom

I thought it might be interesting if we could nominate which horses we think are going to win some of the top races this season. Just a bit of fun. Pick the horses you think will win the following races, write the best current ante-post price next to it from http://www.oddschecker.com/horse-racing-betting (not including betting exchanges). Winner is the person who achieves the best profit to a mythical €1 stake on each horse.

Races are:

King George VI Chase at Kempton
Cheltenham Champion Hurdle
Queen Mother Champion Chase
Cheltenham Gold Cup
Ryanair Chase
World Hurdle
Arkle Chase
RSA Chase
Aintree Grand National

Entries close on Saturday before racing at Newbury starts.

Not a bad idea

I'll certainly post by Saturday. Going on the beer pretty much all day Friday so may well need to have my entry in by Thursday night.

A lot will change depending on the going, with this in mind I am thinking outside the parade ring, but tomorrow I will be punting on all my picks, something I would never normally do.

I would be thankful if any of you guys were able to give some incite into my picks ( if you think they will run), I only have 1 shirt left.

Ante Post is a complete mine field and there are too many variables, if anything happens the horse, the ground doesn't suit and possible improvers. You lose your money if the horse doesn't run and all this headache for slightly bigger odds. Sure look at this year, tons of people had Sizing Europe, Hurricane Fly and Grands Crus in multiples as they were down as bankers and they all got beaten at short odds.

I am not bothering much with it anymore for these reasons but if you want to go for it.

I would only do it if I think something is way overpriced but even that that there are no guarantees, had 50/1 Go Native for the Champion and the poor fella was killed doing a piece of work. I also have Imperial Commander at 55 but he has since suffered a setback and can be got a bigger price.

Get up the yard young feller, you were on the verge of throwing in an egg and spoon race in Ballinrobe in June to their NRNB offer in December!!

BetVictor going NR No Bet at Cheltenham Festival up to £50 per horse & £100 per race. Offer also backdated for ante post bets already struck.

That's not much good when Victor has banned half the country.

I fear you might be wasting you bet on Knockara Beau, afaik, they don't want him going over those fences.

You never put the horse into your Champion Hurdle selection.

Looking back on my picks I'm very happy with Grandouet 12/1, Sprinter Sacre 11/10 and Simonsig 4/1! Would be a tasty treble.


Arvika Ligeonniere at 33/1 for the RSA would have been a nice bet but won't run in it and same with Captain Chris at 16/1 for the Ryanair.
