    I dont get the fuss here about Labaik, youll probably get your money back if he refuses but If hes such a header surely a manic Cheltenham atmosphere would sink his chances once the racing begins anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,135 ✭✭✭Gregk961


    De Bromheads in the first should outrun his odds, unlikely he will place but hes not the no hoper his odds suggest. And he has certainly achieved more on the course than Melon!

    I've changed my mind a hundred times but I've finally picked mine for tomorrow.

    1.30 ballyandy

    2.10 charbel w/o fav

    2.50 ibis du rheu

    3.30 was my toughest choice.
    I think moon racer will finish ahead of yanworth.
    Not getting good vibes on buveur d'air.

    4.10 jers girl

    4.50 a genie in a bottle

    5.30 foxtail hill

    Treble EW

    13.30 Bunk off Early 7/1
    14.10 Cloudy Dream 20/1
    Q4.50 Un Temps Pour Tout 14/1

    Treble EW

    Yanworth 5/2
    Vroum Vroum Mag 9/4
    A Genie in a Bottle 5/1

    Bets for tomorrow:

    Supreme: Melon (every bit as good as he's rumoured to be I suspect - but small enough stakes even so)

    Mare's Hurdle: Limini looks a better horse than Apple's Jade for me, despite the obvious messing last time out).

    Champion: Buveur D’Air TBP - 6/4 with Betfair (as not convinced he needs it as Soft as people say and see him involved in the finish for sure).

    You wont see a more laid back horse than him tomorrow. Hes just too smart for this game

    Cheltenham clerk Simon Claisse said: "Conditions are good to soft. It may dry out throughout the day and we could see good in places."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 9,575 ✭✭✭Backstreet Moyes


    To be honest I can see Labaik 10 lengths clear after the last and throwing Jack Kennedy off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,553 ✭✭✭✭Copper_pipe


    Ladbrokes are money back as a free bet is Limini or VVM win the mares race.

    Max 25 euro

    Is that basically a free €25 punt on Apple's Jade or what way would you work that?

    If you think that they'll win it then it's worth a punt on Apples Jade you'd think.

    Jers Girl could spoil the party too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,137 ✭✭✭gazza1

    Ha, I don't overly fancies AJ, I was just wondering if that was the smart move betting wise using the offer. Thanks.

    It's smart if you think VVM/Limini win it. AJ being next best is the safety option. If €25 is a regular stake for you than its worth it in that scenario.

    Was thinking Jers Girl but she has been poor this year.

    Hammered by Nicholas Canyon who is half the horse he was last year.

    She'll enjoy the spring ground I think.

    She could have went the handicap route but ops for this instead so she must be fairly sound at home
