Cheltenham Festival 2014 Ante Post
Had my 1st bet Champagne Fever 6/1 in the Arkle. Quite often very few runners go to post in this with much chance. Can see this being very short on the day.

In the supreme ive got the liquidator 14/1 & Dubai Prince 25/1
Only backed dubai prince after todays run, beat total trees but was top class on the flat & liked the way it jumped today, will be good to see how he goes uped in class
In the champion Hurricane Fly 6/1 & Our Conor 5/1 can never not back the fly at chelt, backed him every year a real favourite of mine..And hard not to be impressed with the way our conor breezed up in the triumph...Wasnt impressed atall with hurricane flys comeback run, but hes sure to be only 80% at this stage, he could be on the decline but im keeping the faith.
Also like Simonsig & Dynaste to win ANY race at cheltenham at 4/1 & 8/1, as joesman knows, theres nothing worse than backing a horse big for a race, then the trainer sending it for another race..These 2 are sure to have 2/3 options at the festival, so im backing these 2 at a slightly reduced price with abit of insurance..
Thought I would take the price now,as he is running next Saturday(being ridden by Barry Geraghty)
I will also have a bet e/w on Countrywde Flame (E/W) if he is declared to run in the world hurdle at Cheltenham.
No chance of beating me neighhhhhhhhhh
Snoopy Loopy will thrash you all.
My pick for world hurdle would be GEMIX, thrashed solwit (last years world hurdle winner), by 8l on last start in france, and first try over 3m, was reciving 5lb from solwit that day, but looked winner well over 1m out and stayed very strong at the finish.
This horse does need very soft ground, so risky to back ante post, but if ground is soft/heavy on the day and runs will be hard to beat.
Big Bucks if fit will be warm favorite, but will he keep injury free this year?
At Fishers Cross, had great novice campain last year, but will he be a world champion?? Unsure myself!!

That's the last 30 seconds of the race ^^^^
Snoopy Loopy always looked knackered after half a mile but kept running and running!
I reckon he'd still beat all the picks in this thread on his horsey zimmerframe !
As I dont get many winners nowadays you have made an old man happy.
Thanks for the memory.
My Tent Or Yours 6/1
