Cheltenham Festival

[Pentyrchjack]

Anyone going this year and, if so, what days?

I'm going Tuesday and have a big lump on a No Run No Bet basis on Constitution Hill in the Champion Hurdle.

Like the look of The New Lion who is now entered in the Turners Novices Hurdle on Weds (switched from Supreme on the Tuesday).

You’ll never see a race quite like that Champion Hurdle.

 

[stevethejack]

That was crazy

That was crazy

Complete carnage. But I had an each way on Burdett Road 66/1 so it could be worse.

Just WTF was that?
All Nico had to do was school the fave out the back and win by 10 lengths.
Gotta love live sport eh.

Signs were there in his last race when he clipped the last hurdle and only just managed to stay on his feet. If he stays upright he wins every race.

Indeed. But just pop him round FFS.

Oh aye, agree. He outpaces every other hurdler out there he should be the easiest ride in racing. Just nurse him over the hurdles as you said.

Henderson dropped a bollock, after his mishap last time, should have put some headgear on him, the arrogant tw@t.
But the race tactics were awful.

Nico's 2nd successive blunder with him, FFS, needs dropping.
Glad Constitution and State Man are OK.

Lost 50 quid on Constitution but had a cheeky each way on the winner....

Incredible champion hurdle. Nobody expected that!

Not convinced Constitution Hill is as good as he was as a novice but still an incredible horse.

Just hope this convinces trainers that it isn’t all about Cheltenham. Horses like Constitution Hill should be seen far more than they are.

2 for me today.

13.20 New Lion
17.20 Kalypso Chance

2 singles and an ew double.

Normality after yesterday be good.
