Saturday Cheltenham / Ascot

Slattsy

Lets get the ball rolling.

Really fancy Gordon Lord Byron at Ascot. Everything in his favour, including jockey. Serious chance.

Might give Chiqcuita a chance to bounce back in the fillies race, no idea why they ran her in the Arc, maybe it was to bring her fitness on for this!! Forget that run and she has a big chance, as does Seal of Approval.

Hard to oppose CDA in the Champion.

Over at Cheltenham i like:
In the Rough in the first will take some stopping. The Nicholls horse making him a decent price.

Calipto should have the beating of this lot, esp getting weight from Tiger Roll. Though Elliotts horses are flying.

And gonna chance the hobbs second string Roalco Des Farges . Plenty of ability but worried he might need the run so i'll wait till close the off and see how he fares in the betting.

baccarat @ 20/1 looks a great e/w bet for me.

Heavy ground might produce a few shocks at ascot and it is bit early in the season for getting stuck in at chel with many form choices out for the first time and fitness has to be taken on trust.
I am backing Estimate ew in the 1 45 and Noble Mission ew in the 4 05 Ascot,2 ew singles and an ew double.
Both go on the ground and may be capable of causing a minor upset.

Good man Slattsy. Kicking us into debate. Tough week in the office. Shaking it off with a few pints and cocktails. Time to make a few quid. No interest in Ascot. I said it yesterday. Ground gone and late season is punters graveyard. Cheltenham on the other hand...

Dunston

Ya Newmarket yesterday was a minefield. Don't think any of those winners will go near to winning a classic next year. Conditions even worse today but its hard to not get involved! I like Chicquita aswell today and Integral must have a big chance.Both older horses but both lightly raced career wise and could still be progressive

Slattsy

Im surprised Weld is running Free Eagle, really thought he's be pulled.
He might just win this.

droidman123

Some great racing at Cheltenham, disappointing c4 are not showing any live.they could of easily fitted in a couple between ascot races.anyway, calipto for me to turn over tiger roll,very unlucky in the triumph and a lump job today. Apart from an e/w on baccarat at ascot,I will be leaving it alone,though looking forward to watching.

Another lump job is the mighty hammers away to Burnley @ 13/8.

Yeah was impressive but I wouldn't be rushing to back it for next years gold cup,horse is very ground Dependant and the chances are against him getting soft for next years gold cup.

Slattsy

I concur. Weld running Free Eagle.

Slattsy

BOOM GLB

Dunston

Slattsy

Well done me ol mucker!

Slattsy

All the money for Seal of Approval here. Went for Chicquita, who's on a serious drift.
Looks like i went for the wrong one!!

Slattsy

WTF happened there

Dunston

That was shocking, looked to be going really well. Thank f^ck she held on for the place!

BumperD

Good looking finale at Cheltenham. Going for How about it ew 4/1. Curtis won this last year with a decent one. Fav too short imo.

Slattsy

If she stayed straight she wins, gutted

Slattsy

She's done it before, headcase lol

Slattsy

STD done again close home
Getting his fractions all wrong.

Dunston

Jesus she sold for 6M after doing that??

Its laughable how bad STD is

Slattsy

She could well be a decent mare though, 6 million to coolmore is peanuts!

Today could have been a great day. On another day both Calipto and Chicquita would have one, small details.

Slattsy

Backed Roalco De Faeges, got 12s. backed in.

Slattsy

BOOM

Jaysis lads 3/5 won, and the other 2 you could call unlucky... could have been some day, but i wont turm my nose up at 11/2, 9/4 and 12/1 winners.

You want to win money, this is the place to be! :P

BumperD

Some shooting tex

Slattsy

small bet on ROTW here.

Slattsy

Wouldnt have touched that!

BumperD

Who won?

Slattsy

Noble Mission.

BumperD

I would never have backed him. Ever.

BumperD

Surely you have enough money won today

Slattsy

Never!
West Ham winning, Droidman will be happy.

Slattsy

Backed Gabriels Kaka last time but leaving him today.

Going for Dream walker.

Put a bit on Bold Thady Quill 25/1 EW in the next at Ascot. Fantastic old horse, and always shines in a big field.

BumperD

I've stuck a small ew on baarweez

BumperD

Lottery of a race.

Slattsy

Purposely went for highly drawn horses after previous results, and low wins!
How was thhat allowed go off 20/1 anyway?

tinodz

Bold Thady Quill was no where. Still like that horse though.

27 runner field hence the price. You can fancy half the field in those handicaps and still not find a placed horse.

droidman123

And the mighty hammers go marching on

13/8..what a juicy price!

BumperD

You'll have to have a beer to celebrate the hammers win.

How About It @ 4/1
Paolozzi (To Place) @ 11/2

...are my only other shots of the day. One has B Gerrathey aboard, and the other is the most experienced horse in the lineup

Both in the Cheltenham 5.30

Slattsy

Thats me done for the day !
