    That result is a shocker.

    Even take out the Mullins mare and AJ still didn't win.

    Reminded me so much of the Annie Power acca situation going into the race. So much money on that odds on treble I'd imagine.

    Bookies got out of jail again.

    Perfect record so far. Unfortunately it's a 100% losing record. Only backed two races though so no real harm done.

    I'm looking forward to next two. With Mullins horses in good form Rathvinden will surely be backed very heavily. No Comment will drift and I'll snap up 12s and he will romp home.

    Tycoon price will give Kennedy a fine spin in the last race and soar me into a nice profit. People will kick themselves for not spotting it.

    Good luck for the rest of the day. Well done to those in the plus

    Trebles are for mugs at Cheltenham. Generally speaking

    She was all over the place during the race,trying to constantly jump out right and also tried to go down the finishing straight first time round.

    Disappointing run from Wicklow Brave, made a good run but came from so far back (last) and couldn't finish! On La Bague au Roi in the next, then Jury Duty and Testify. All e/w/. Apples Jade also.

    All down to testify but breaking even for the day so far.

    Im going to profess my love for Mrs Parfois. She is such a battler.

    Great race there. Fair play to Rathvinden backers

    You want to tell the mods what that stands for or are you too cowardly?

    Taking out your bad day on me. Must hurt to always be wrong.

    Just catching up on ITV+1.

    Looks like Denis Bastick was on Benie Des Dieux anyway!

    Anyway for a bit of interest backing Jack on Tycoon Prince in the 5.30. Its 20/1, but Elliot has to put some manners on this Mullins upstart.

    First real bet for Cheltenham

    Mr WHITAKER 14/1 EW Close bros

    Won at the track lto with going soft heavy in places so going won't be an issue and gets in here off bottom weight.
    5 of the last 9 winners won lto.
    12 of the last 13 had run in the last 45 days
    Trainers only runner at the festival

    BOSH !!
