    And the Tizzards are good people. Happy for them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,023 ✭✭✭✭Joe_ Public


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,564 ✭✭✭kiers47


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 620 ✭✭✭WickIow Brave


    Poor aul Might Bite :( No complaints though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,023 ✭✭✭✭Joe_ Public


    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,586 ✭✭✭4068ac1elhodqr


    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,835 ✭✭✭✭Francie Barrett


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,022 ✭✭✭jamesbere


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,166 ✭✭✭piplip87


    Katiebto save the day


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,022 ✭✭✭jamesbere


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,023 ✭✭✭✭Joe_ Public


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


  • Registered Users Posts: 8 ItsGoosey


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,023 ✭✭✭✭Joe_ Public


    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.

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,145 ✭✭✭circadian


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


  • Registered Users Posts: 925 ✭✭✭rekluse


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

    bookies must be loving today...

    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.

    Someone set up a Day 5 thread.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,023 ✭✭✭✭Joe_ Public


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

    Another place. Down to Dolos in the last


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,775 ✭✭✭✭Slattsy


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,022 ✭✭✭jamesbere


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 448 ✭✭Mad_Dave


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,023 ✭✭✭✭Joe_ Public


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,423 ✭✭✭✭Outlaw Pete


    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!

    Hoping Eastlake can regain some of his old form


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,775 ✭✭✭✭Slattsy


    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 28 mitch23


    Gino trail 25/1 all over it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,299 ✭✭✭djPSB


    On Bouvreil @12s.


  • Registered Users Posts: 45 Roundtd181


    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.

    Ah bollox


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,835 ✭✭✭✭Francie Barrett


    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.
