Cheltenham.

Anybody here attending this year? I am there tomorrow and Weds, can't wait.

Any "tips" welcome as I know naff all when it comes to the nags!

Ive booked the week off so I can watch the racing, might have a few small bets but don't really follow horse racing like I used to so I'm pretty much out of touch.

The only advice I'd give is stick to small each way bets Matty.

I'd love to do Cheltenham one year, it's a course I've never been to.

Good luck mate hope you have fun

Just had this off a mate: 13-30 Melon 15-30 Yanworth think they're both favourites....

[Bigdave]

Yeah they are both favs hubs.

Bloke at work backed Melon ages ago, think he got around 12/1 ante post.

Jack Kennedy 17 year old wonder jockey romps home on 25/1 outsider Labark. Good luck getting to the bar Matty, looks packed to the rafters

One of my ex's had a horse. She talked me into going down her stables one day and I had a go on one. After about an hour of trying to learn the rise and trot I had to give up as my plums felt like they'd been put through a mangle.
If I didn't know better I'd swear she was trying to put me off sex for a while.

Anyone who gets on one of those things and tries to make it run as fast it can deserves total respect. If they don't break their neck when they fall off there's every likelihood they'll get trampled.

Tell your mate not to bother next time Hubs mate. Neither had value and didn't have the best of days

You're right Hovis. On the old original dotorg there used to be a poster called Jules I think, and he'd come up with these great tips, always under the post heading: I've got a hoss! Wonder what happened to him?

Proper mugs game. That bloke that bet 400,000 to win 100k and then put on 500k to win another 100k lost @ what a plum. Can understand a 1-4 bet on a football team 2 up with 15mins to go with that kind of money but on a 4 legged animal, 20 plus runners and hurdles . Worlds gone mad

1/4 on a team being 2-0 up with 15 mins to go?


Im clearly using the wrong bookies

I've never understood why people with that much disposable cash (must be a near no billionaire to lay our £400k to recoup £100k!) feel the need to have a flutter?!

That same matey banged the whole £500k on Douvan the next day apparently ....
