    In Response to Re: CHELTENHAM 2011:
    shazallin, I wouldnt put you off that , I did it last year. I like 4 or five before i would back Binocular. Just cant see it winning, but i've been wrong before Bye the way I have just entered Racing Post Select a stable , bit of fun around the festival if you like kind of thing. £20000 first prize Father Vaigret
    Posted by vaigret
    What are your selections, I enter this every year but never get any where.I have been out of touch this last hurdling season, normally i am up with all the info.
    So a bit of help needed.

    Thank you kaymac, devine inspiration you know, just hope the Binocular supporters did it NRNB.

    Hi Wynne

    If you are talking about champion hurdle you wont go far wrong with Menorah or Peddlers cross, with regard the Racing Post Select a stable I have had the five stables for the cost of four so too many horses to list. anyway you are probably better sticking a pin in than following mine.

    As you will see from the horses selected by the jackpot man and scoop 6 winner form doesnt count for much, its a lot of luck in the end.

    Well on the basis that someone can win £1.4m on the Scoop Six and by his own admission isn't really a horse expert, i have studied the form and give you three horses you should probably advoid for two reasons...
     1) I have selected them and 2) I am swayed by the fact they are all grey (probably wrong on that too!).
    I'm only having 25p patent so it won't hurt too much!


    Tuesday
    1.30pm AL FEROF
    2.05pm MEDERMIT
    2.40pm GREAT ENDEAVOUR

    Good luck everyone, especially those betting with 'big money!!

    Hi all, was meant to put up the goss from belfast preview night last mon nite, its pretty much wat ud expect so ill just very briefly put up 2 standout things\:

    matt chapman from attheraces said he'd done previous panels with paul townend and he was waxing lyrical to him about 'so young' in the neptune, leaving matt to exclaim if it were a woman then paul townend would marry it!! andrew mcnamara also said that PT revealed to him secretly that hes been acting slightly coy on the mount in public when quizzed on its chances, this is solely because hes scared stiff of ruby ditching rock on ruby to ride instead (and after hurricane fly arrangements who can blame him??!!) so ive taken the hint on this one.

    it was kind of what you'd expect tbh regarding main races, those higher in market being the tips.

    the other thing i want to note tho is this; when outside the hotel having a quick smoke, got talkin randomly to some young whipper snapper, said his dad owns a leg in hurricane fly, so i quizzed them on their thoughts of his chances and tbh he hardly seemed confident/excited/hopeful (please delte as appropriate)so whether or not to take this wif a pinch of salt im not quite sure, after all shouting from the rooftops isnt always a good thing either......

    tomorrows mug punter bet £2 lucky 15 done ante post:

    spirit son 6/1
    medermit 3/1
    peddlers cross 5/1 (done 3 weeks ago on sky bet, wat else can i say, great value once again cough cough 13/2 other places @ the time!!)
    garde campetre 9/2

    ill be backing spirit son in win single tomo as well and depending on how he gets on might let the others run, have a nice feeling about this!!!

    4pts e/w sunnyhillboy, huge fan of great endeavour, biggest winner last year for me in byrne plate, 18/1 but the magic sign returned it at 25's!!! sunnyhillboy has been left seeing its backside the last few timnes theyve crossed paths but with rise in trip and better off @ weights i think he'll reverse form, meetss alot of the trends (OR 144 or under, first 4 in betting amongst others)  these 2 the standout for me.

    if bensalem stays on his feet he'll b e huge danger, really nicely handicapped, however thats a big, massive even, IF, considering his fencing is shoddy at best.

    our father is going to have ocean transit vying for favourtism with quevega in the mares as i also will be having a small flutter e/w on his reasoning, however it is a much tougher race she finds herself in here.

    last race, tullymore dew @ 9's and e/w saver vino gregio (25's)

    gud luck to all heres hoping we've plenty to shout about this time tomorrow evening!!

    best wishes, hailhail88

    Hi all,

    Probably getting boring on this subject and the Mares Hurdle is terribly difficult to win with Quevega in it and according to Willie Mullins even better than last year. Also there is doubts my mare Ocean Transit, goes as well left handed and also it is not a handicap so she only gets 5lb from one of the best mares seen at Cheltenham, however at 50-1, I got 66-1, has to be given a chance. She has won twice over 2m 6f so will stay up the hill and number of winners have come out of the ludlow race, with two winning so easily.

    Also Richard Price knows how to get a mare to win at Cheltenham, I still remember this like it was yesterday

    Lets hope so
