Harvey is a Grade A geebag, mentioning Walsh who is showing his horse the hurdle "who had that unfortunate incident earlier", just before he starts a race.

Cumani is now Cesc as they are all BFF, McCoy and Cumani are the only two that should be presenting.

Hoiles is also a good commentator,at least he is up in the commentary area away from the muppets on the ground.

Very sad for sir Eric and all concerned.

Juxtapose · 15-03-2019 4:03pm

awful day

Clan des Obeaux to save the day

Johner · 15-03-2019 4:04pm

That was a monster performance by Minella Indo, pulled the arms off Rachel Blackmore the whole way round and still won.

Dubh Geannain · 15-03-2019 4:04pm

I'm backing Invitation Only for a place (3 places)

Doctors room ghost · 15-03-2019 4:05pm

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The time has come.

GO ON THE PERCY!!!!!

TheRiverman · 15-03-2019 4:05pm

Cue some extreme bull**** now with the Gold Cup next.I have turned down the volume.

Shemale · 15-03-2019 4:07pm

FFS backed a few of DeBromhead and Blackmore combo this week, but of course not this one!!

handsfree2 · 15-03-2019 4:07pm

It's very soft ground.

Always Tired · 15-03-2019 4:07pm

I had kinda resigned myself to this not gonna be a great day for profit but the way it's happening is annoying me.
1st horse i backed dies.
2nd horse falls at the last in front (prob would have been beat anyway tho)
Had Commander and Alhallo, and they can't catch up to a 50-1 shot.

Rachael is a great wee jockey tho, hope she wins the Irish championship.

Absolute ****e from Ruby there, allaho comfortably beat minella indo but like everything else he rode this week taking the longest way around

He was on inside of first two home entering the straight anyway. Came there on the run to the last, every chance, wasn’t good enough. Winner had a bit in hand.

hudhastings · 15-03-2019 4:08pm

Hazel hill fancied for the 4.10

Probably go BD on Sir Erec. Haven't had a big one yet. Big in my world is low 3 figures!! I've bank rolled so I've treated it as spent already. Gamble responsibly and all that malarkey.

Allaho. Of course I lost my Antepost money backing him for Ballymore. Doh.. Will back him and cover with Commander.

Uncello Conti. Another nice bet (unless I get toasted in first!) I'll throw a nice bet on him. Need to study that race though. Not as easy as other years.

Think I'll throw 50 on Percy and something on Native or CDO. Really annoyed I didn't cover Frodon today, so I'm not listening to anyone panning Paul Nicholls chance in this race. Not sure yet. Could just back Percy. This race needs something special, and Percy might be it, with his bizarre campaign and sheer talent. Percy is a legend to this forum over the years and by Jesus will I be shouting him home. I could see Anabale Fly running well but won't back him.

I'll lose hugely on the handicaps, although I'm due to hit one soon. Good few seconds already.

By the end of Friday, I'll have lost 500, drank 20 pints, talked a phenomenal amount of sxxt, but in typical style, I'll have fun and leave it all on the pitch!

Good luck.

Turn luck turn god damn it!!

getting drunker anyway. Quickly reached 250 down. Half way there.

TheRiverman · 15-03-2019 4:11pm

Johnny Francome has real hair ?

Joe_ Public · 15-03-2019 4:13pm

Miss Francome in the studio. Along with McGrath, Brough, Alastair Down etc, what a team it was. I’d happily even suffer the oaf to have it back.

Reminds me of being in the bookies yesterday. Once a year punters all mystified that Ruby couldn't do anything on Faugheen. The same ones who were wondering what happened with Min the day before. Or still giving out about BDD.

the evidence is all there, if you're gonna insist on backing him then thats one thing but to be giving out about him after is a bit silly at this stage. He's been a joke for the last 4 years. In saying that Ahallo was beaten a mile and no jockey would have made any difference.

Other than the first race and BDD, he hasnt had the best horse in the race. Dunno why people still look at him like a Cheltenham meal ticket, do they even watch racing?

unplayable · 15-03-2019 4:20pm

Davy Russell has rode a winner last 13 Cheltenham festivals. He has no winner this week and this is his last ride. Enough said

What ****e are you spouting, he's the finest jump jockey around, it was a poor ride imo everyone has them

Nulty · 15-03-2019 4:26pm

I have a feeling Mullins will win this

Davy Russel 12 year run of winners at Cheltenham under threat. Needs to win this

Andrew00 · 15-03-2019 4:30pm

You can just tell how nervous the jockeys are before the gold cup

Would love to see someone grab a wad of cash out of Brian Gleesons hand

BorneTobyWilde · 15-03-2019 4:33pm

Definitly Red brought down, that was my bet. Geez

jkbkhhho7t · 15-03-2019 4:34pm

Mullins can't train chasers

bladespin · 15-03-2019 4:36pm

Native river defo has a future in showjumping if he wants one!

Strange strange race

And another faller for me. Although leading at the time Invitation Only didn't look to be jumping at all well from the second.

Johner · 15-03-2019 4:40pm

GO ON THE PERCY.

Terribly campaigned horse.

BorneTobyWilde · 15-03-2019 4:41pm

Great win for the owner. Her first runner at Cheltenham ? Usually a nickel and dime winner of donkey derbies. DOes the owner get the 625,000 ?

Fitz* · 15-03-2019 4:41pm

Percy never looked happy there at all

Gutted for Thistlecrack, could never settle into a rhythm after being impeded by the fallers. Might Bite struggled to stay again but a brave run.

Nice one for Paul.

Slattsy · 15-03-2019 4:42pm

PP had ABP stuffed in the RSA last year. Maybe they should have gotten a run over fences this year #hindsight

TheRiverman · 15-03-2019 4:43pm

Great week for the bookies.

Shemale · 15-03-2019 4:44pm

Dunno what Russel was at, looked like he had trouble all around him for 2 miles and didn't look for a better position. Very hard to win with no competitive chase in a year.

BorneTobyWilde · 15-03-2019 4:44pm

Definitly red at 66-1 was travelling okay in 3rd when brought down, 6th last year and came her in good form, thought it could have placed at least.
Falling is one thing, getting wiped out it just frustrating.
