Hey lads does RTE radio one play live commentary of the races at cheltenham?
My internet at work is fairly bad so streaming is out of the question.

Moondice.
Download the Tune In internet radio app for your phone. Then search for Time Form radio .
They provide commentary for all races.

Jesus great spot.
Said after the Hennessy it's upto JP afaik so surely that decision has been made.

8/11 Carlingford Lough runs then surely?
McManus not the sentimental sort that will let McCoy get up on Holywell?
Or is the price too good to be true?

Yep into 1/2 now. As already stated, he'll ride CL provided he runs, no question. He'd love another Gold Cup win but I think unless Holywell is tearing up the gallops that he'll stay loyal to McManus who he has such a good working relationship with.

I'm hearing about the Paddy Power daily 25 day countdown specials but I can't see any mention of them anywhere on the site. Does anyone know where they are available to view?

Some of them are not worth bothering with but some are decent and worth a bet.

Yesterday it was Lami Serge and Vautour 22/1 enhanced from 17/1 which was good value and both have live chances.

I think they usually go up around 12pm each day so it should be up in a few hours.

Is this an all day live feed (like Billy Hills radio) or does it just start when the racing starts? Clicked on it but can't hear anything!

They put them up on the website, usually around lunchtime. If you follow PP on Twitter too they tweet them every day

Starts around 10 mins before the 1st race of the day. I've used this stream since they started and it's excellent

If you have a smart phone most bookies will stream a race from ATR or RUK once you have €1 bet on the race, all the weeks racing for under €30.

If you dont bet you can use the Filmontv app if you have an android phone. On this you can watch the Channel 4 coverage will be most of the racing for free.

21/1 Douvan and Zarkandar it's alright if you like Zarkandar but i don't.

Maximum stake for Zarkander and Douvan both to win is 2.25 :rolleyes:

Re flat breds, I swore never again after getting caught up in Minsk hysteria, last year I let my mates dad who is a very astute judge convince me to back Broughton.

I wouldn't be too off put by Minsk, I don't mind backing flat breds with real stouts pedigrees. He was by Dalakhani it's just that he wasn't good enough. Bearing in mind a lot of the Triumph horses are going to be flat bred, I just wouldn't touch a lot of them. The ones I'd trust would be those by the likes of Montjeu, Monsun, Authorized, Montjeu's promising son Montmartre, Motivator, Kalanisi, Halling to an extent. Looked at the entries and saw one by Bahamian Bounty. Not to say it could never win but it'd be a peculiar one on breeding. Even Galileo I don't tend to like over hurdles, bar Celestial Halo really

roast222 · 17-02-2015 01:06PM

Don't fancy Zarkander and Douvan is far too short considering the supreme novices is a bit of a graveyard for favourites.

ohbygod · 17-02-2015 01:08PM

Supreme novices bentelimar 33/1

Paddy Power giving 8/11 that McCoy will ride Carlingford Lough in the Gold Cup over Holywell (Evs). Am I missing something or is that a great price? McManus will insist that McCoy rides his horse.

Carlingford 1/2 now.

Shemale · 17-02-2015 03:05PM

I keep getting this feeling that Douvan is going to bomb on the faster ground, the way he travelled through the heavy ground is a red flag for me.

rossom · 17-02-2015 03:14PM

My Nap of the festival Paint The Clouds makes his reappearance in the Hunter Chase at Doncaster tomorrow. Decent ground, which is essential for him, is what he'll encounter at Doncaster and I will be very disappointed if he doesn't make very light work of the 4 runners in opposition tomorrow. I'd highly, highly recommend taking the 8/1 available for the Foxhunters as he'll definitely be favourite if everything goes to plan tomorrow.

salsify for the foxhunters in my opinion he should win hands down

Good luck with him but he'll be looking at Paint The Clouds arse from a long way out. Genuinely think Paint The Clouds will demolish the competition at Cheltenham.

Mossey Joe entered in a hunters chase in Fairyhouse this weekend. Is he still eligible for Cheltenham?

I'd assume so but, unfortunately, he seems to have fallen out of love with the game. Shame as he was ridiculously talented and in another life would have achieved great things in his career.

Bit of a silly statement really about a horse who has won the race before and ran a cracking race on its comeback. Also doesn't paint the clouds need fast ground? He's had a leg before and was off for a long time but even at his best he was a decent handicapper over hurdles that was all. I've backed teaforthree!!

well said.. i have the foxhunters narrowed down to salsify and teaforthree myself.

Teaforthree not winning a weak field last time out however must be a negative.

Bangor Billy · 17-02-2015 05:38PM

Teaforthree won't qualify now. Cut off is next Tuesday and not entered in any Hunter Chases before then. Going to Aintree I think.

rossom · 17-02-2015 05:40PM

T43 unlikely to make it. Will need to finish top 2 in a Hunter Chase before the 24th of February to qualify and I don't see him running again with the Grand National his main aim.

Don't get me wrong, I've nothing against Salsify and he should run a big race. I just think Paint The Clouds is way better than a Hunter Chaser. 5 for 5 over fences, injury cut him short over hurdles when he easily won a Pertemps qualifier at Cheltenham off 130 and Greatrex has said that McCoy got off that day said he'd win the Pertemps Final. Obviously he missed out through injury but proved his health last year and his injuries are behind him.

Paint The Clouds fine on anything good to soft or better and he should get that at the Festival.

He'll definitely be favourite for Cheltenham when he wins hard held tomorrow.

Dr. Bre · 17-02-2015 05:44PM

channel 4 should show every race live!

nobody told me · 17-02-2015 05:48PM

You are a far better judge than I ever will be but I don't think he is that far clear of the field. It's all about opinions and that's what makes the game great. I know my teaforthree bet is cooked.

nobody told me · 17-02-2015 06:07PM

Paint the clouds is 4/7 tomorrow you already said he will win by half the track so in your view is the 4/7 value?

4/6 with Betfair. If you've no problem lumping on odds on shots then he's a good price. Not my style tbh so I'll happily just sit back and watch. I've backed him every week for a couple of months for Cheltenham so I've enough riding on him!
