If you were to have an ante-post megatron for Cheltenham...

Jayo11780

Hi all, as the thread suggest - if you were to have a lucky 15, 31, 63, Super heinz, or Goliath on the ante-post markets for the upcoming season centrepiece who would you include:

BTW i do not bet ante-post generally!

Here would be my idea of a festival megatron - E/W of course :

Supreme novices: Dodging bullets 12/1
Champion Hurdle: Grandeuet 7/1
RSA: Dynaste 5/2
World Hurdle: Monksland 8/1
Gold cup: Bobs Worth (NAP) 3/1
Champion bumper: Regal encore 14/1
Ryanair: first Lieutenant 8/1
Triumph hurdle: Blood Cotil 11/1

Oscars Well.

Lucky 15 consisting of;

Grandoeut 7/1 (Champion Hurdle)
Monksland 7/1 (World Hurdle)
Pont Alexandre 6/1 (Neptune)
Sir Des Champs 5/1 (Gold Cup)

Colonel Sanders

hypothetical each way lucky 15

Bobs Worth - Gold Cup
Aupcharlie - Jewson
Overturn - Arkle
Rocky Creek - 4 miler

ste2010

I'd do an each way accumulator

Dodging bullets 14-1
First lieutenant 10-1
Champion court/sizing Europe 10-1
...need to fill in something else here. Maybe zarkandar might scrape a place

I'm focussing more on getting value at 3 places as opposed to winning..if they win its some ridiculous turnaround like 400k with another horse if its 1/4 of the price ill let you do the maths..thinks its over a grand anyway when you do 10ew

premierstone

Did an e/e yankee today of:

Monksland
SDC
Aupcharlie
Hurricane Fly

Jewson: Captain Conan 4/1
World Hurdle: Tidal Bay 8/1
Gold Cup: Sir Des Champs 5/1
Arkle: Overturn 11/2
RSA: Boston Bob 11/2
Neptune: The New One 5/1
Ryanair: Cue Card 6/1

My Tent or Yours - Supreme
Hurricane Fly - CH
Bob's Worth - Gold Cup
Capt Conan - Jewson

rossom

Mine would be (taking prices from Bet365)

Dodging Bullets 10/1 - Supreme
Kashmir Peak 16/1 - Triumph
Son Of Flicka 33/1 - Coral Cup
Moyle Park 25/1 - Champion Bumper

Very dodgy as the last two may not even run in those races but Megatrons are meant to have an element of the ridiculous about them!

Pearlstone

Sizing Europe 7/1-Ryanair
Rock on Ruby 7/1-CH
First Lieutenant 10/1-GC
Oscars Well-12/1-Arkle

Bet 365 prices-

Doubles for 5ew,Trebles for 10ew and a 25ew accy just to sicken them!!

You think they are at it again with Son of Flicka?

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind. Its just a case of getting the race he turns up at right!

Really like this horse. Look how easy he won on it's debut over hurdles, I backed him the last day he was about to win a Grade 1 on his second hurdling start but fell at the last.

Like the RSA the best horse for the future doesn't necessarily win the Triumph, plenty of very good horses get beat because they haven't matured to get up the hill. Being a son of Dylan Thomas who has been racing on soft and heavy ground since a two year old I could definitely see him being more forward than most

After hitting the front he was all over the place that day (I had backed him also). You just knew something bad was about to happen and I'm not convinced he had Megalypos(?) beat anyway. I am relying on memory though.

Agree with your general comments about the Triumph though.

UrbanSea

So am I, I may very well be wrong

Apparently heat was found in his tendon last week and he is unlikely to run at Cheltenham unless they can get a prep run into him. Due for a scan soon enough. That was taken off Twitter and is making its way around a lot of forums at the moment but no official word and no slide in the market on Betfair. Could be completely made up but just a word of warning for those contemplating backing him now.

^^^ Pissed off I missed the 16's available on at fishers cross before today's race. The Albert Bartlett is the likely race at the festival now.

Realistically happy with a place from all o them to get a grand

fangee

Surely ye are covering these EW doubles, trebles, accums with EW ED ?

It would be a shame to have a mix of winners and places and not maximise profit ?

Some nice prices there, particularly on Pont Alexandre, First Lieutenant and Reve De Sivola. Looks like you're gonna get lucky with the ground for the latter too.

paddymayoman

Have an accumulator ofHurricane Fly, Quevaga, Simonsig and Sprinter Sacre. It works out at nearly 8.5/1. The 2 I'm doubtful of are HF and Quevaga, reckon the other 2 should win handy enough.

Backstreet Moyes

First Lieutenant
Super Duty
Sam Winner
Our Conor

Crash Bang Wall

Simonsig
Sprinter Sacre
Pont Alexandre
Un Atout
Silviniaco Conti

dirkmeister

I've an accumulator of Simonsig, Quevega, Sprinter Sacre and Bob's Worth, works out at just over 12/1

If the first 3 come up on Tuesday and Wednesday I'll have a sleepless night Thursday.


Can't wait!

prettyboy81

I've a treble that I did at Christmas pays 4/1 with Simonsig, Quevega & Sprinter Sacre think it would only pay 2/1 now.

Got out of jail with a super Friday. A great way to finish off the festival with a winner in the last. Lessons for next year, not getting involved with the bumper anymore. Not going to bother second guessing what horses are going to run or get into the handicaps.

Well done to paddymayoman, dirkmeister and prettyboy81. Very nice when those accumulator's come off.
