And the Tizzards are good people. Happy for them.

Joe_ Public · 16-03-2018 3:44pm

Road to Respect ran well. Edwulf too, was actually travelling like a winner four out.

kiers47 · 16-03-2018 3:46pm

Our Duke jumped absolutely shocking. Thats twice now in 2 big field grade 1s on bad ground he has jumped poorly.

WickIow Brave · 16-03-2018 3:46pm

Poor aul Might Bite

No complaints though.

Joe_ Public · 16-03-2018 3:47pm

Winner looks remarkably fresh and perky for a horse thats just been in a war. Wont happen but would love to see him go for the National.

mdwexford · 16-03-2018 3:47pm

Great race, glad the best horses came to the fore.

On better ground I think MB wins.
On that ground NR wasn't for stopping today.

Great ride by Dickie, eased off at the right times to leave something for the hill.

piplip87 · 16-03-2018 3:50pm

Our Duke, Kiltuagh Vic very poor nowhere near the standard.

Fawning over Richard Johnson now on ITV. In don't see it. Dodges so many big meetings to run in Egg and Spoon races in Wincantion in July. The De Sousa of jumps racing.

He has a lot of critics alright, but must say I like Dickie as a jockey well enough myself. I doubt he's ecstatic himself at missing out on some of the top meetings, but he's probably just going where the chance of riding winners happens to be. Amazing there isn't a better job for him in england, but are the horses there right now anyway?

Slattsy · 16-03-2018 3:58pm

Wonderful Charm surely too big here at 8s

I think he is a good Jockey, The fawning about being champion jockey I don't get. He rides poor horses in poor races to get his numbers up exactly what de Sousa does on the flat.

Joe_ Public · 16-03-2018 4:02pm

Unioniste has the right sort of credentials here I think. Burning Ambition looks the worst price of the week to me anyway.

4068ac1elhodqr · 16-03-2018 4:04pm

Have just discovered something called 'each way extra' 6pl available on the last 3 races, and all 1/4 odds.
ah had I have discovered that a few hours earlier....

Yip discovered this Tuesday, they dont pay SP though if you take a lower price and it drifts

Francie Barrett · 16-03-2018 4:10pm

Ridiculous to have a go at Johnson. He rides for a trainer who you wouldn't even have in the top 20 in the UK and Ireland. His string of rides for Cheltenham is so shocking I can't even think of one off the top of my head.

jamesbere · 16-03-2018 4:10pm

Going to add grand vision e/w aswell to wonderful charm

piplip87 · 16-03-2018 4:11pm

Katiebto save the day

jamesbere · 16-03-2018 4:23pm

I'm praying at this stage, need the something out of the last two to save me

Joe_ Public · 16-03-2018 4:25pm

Great stuff from Pacha there. Should probably have been 3 in a row when you think about it

ItsGoosey · 16-03-2018 4:25pm

Deal D'estruval for me in the next. If it wins I am considering throwing the winnings onto something in the last

Joe_ Public · 16-03-2018 4:25pm

Tend to agree with Brough Scott there, one of the best Gold Cups that in my living memory anyway. It was epic from a long way out.

Panrich · 16-03-2018 4:26pm

What a great Foxhunters. A wall of horses on the run-in. It was like a 5 furlong race.

circadian · 16-03-2018 4:31pm

Tommy Rapper and Deal D'Estruval here for me. Would be great to see Bridget win again, had a great race earlier.

rekluse · 16-03-2018 4:33pm

Anything for 4:50 lads I can’t pick my arse

mossym · 16-03-2018 4:34pm

bookies must be loving today...

hawkhead · 16-03-2018 4:34pm

Winning jockey in the last dislocated her shoulder on the run in and popped it back in herself. Amazing

I was thinking she had an unorthodox way of riding a horse. Unbelievable fair f**ks to her

All in a days work for a jump jock! Different breed, as the late Jimmy McGee might have said.

Slattsy · 16-03-2018 4:46pm

Someone set up a Day 5 thread.

Joe_ Public · 16-03-2018 4:59pm

The weight put me off there but group horse running in a handicap there.

jamesbere · 16-03-2018 5:00pm

Another place. Down to Dolos in the last

Slattsy · 16-03-2018 5:02pm

Thought we were looking good turning in on Early Doors. Ground a factor again there but won by a very good horse.

jamesbere · 16-03-2018 5:10pm

Well might as well try bright new dawn e/w
Last race, can't get any worse

Mad_Dave · 16-03-2018 5:11pm

Last bet Bouvreuil to win.
At this point I'm breaking even for the week, ah well easy come easy go

Joe_ Public · 16-03-2018 5:15pm

Obviously a ground issue but Rock the World is twice the price he was when winning this last year (x3 if your on the exchange). Happy to have a swing at that.

Outlaw Pete · 16-03-2018 5:19pm

I'm on Vaniteux to be in the first four home (9/2 on Betfair).

Ground not ideal, but fcuk it.

Best of luck with whatever you choose!

Come on Scudamore ya bollix!

mulbot · 16-03-2018 5:20pm

Hoping Eastlake can regain some of his old form

Slattsy · 16-03-2018 5:20pm

Last bet of the week and until Cheltenham next year Bouvreuil each way at 10s.

Torn between both of Nicholls tbh but went for the better jock.

Had backed Rule the World last year but happy to let him go at the price on ground he'll hate.

mitch23 · 16-03-2018 5:21pm

Gino trail 25/1 all over it

djPSB · 16-03-2018 5:23pm

On Bouvreil @12s.

Roundtd181 · 16-03-2018 5:25pm

Another top day... finishing of with a good lump on North Hill Harvey. Have an antepost with Three Stars at a price so either or will do lovely to finish things off.

hudhastings · 16-03-2018 5:28pm

anyone no a stream available link.

circadian · 16-03-2018 5:37pm

That was the craziest race of the festival.

Joe_ Public · 16-03-2018 5:37pm

Top Gamble backers a bit robbed there

It's rare Nicholls will come away from Cheltenham without a winner. Thinking Le Prezien might just about be one of his best shots.

Easy peasy. You've have to be braindead not to be able to make fat stacks of cash at Cheltenham :pac:

I backed it but I don't think he would have won anyway.
