Hi
Another frustrating day today as although American Mike lost HMS Seahorse went wrong. I Am Maximus did indeed finish placed behind The Real Whacker and Geri Colombe but unfortunately the outsider Bron got in between us and means we only get the place return instead of a win. The unkindest cut of all was watching Third Time Lucki cruising up to the last fence with plenty in hand only to be clattered into by Thyme White falling and got knocked sideways. He did manage to stay upright and also picked up a place so we did at least finish up on the day.
This puts us back to the start after two days of racing being neither up nor down, so its all to play for tomorrow. Here are tomorrows misguided Cheltenham long shots…
2.10 The Bosses Oscar @ 10-1 for 8 places
3.30 Ashdale Bob @ 22-1 for 4 places
4.50 Ahorsewithnoname @ 25-1 for 6 places
Royal Thief @ 12-1 for 6 places looks interesting in the lucky last but we will keep that one in our pocket and see how the day goes.

Hi
Energumene was the only competition winner today but he did at least appear in (Rob’s) line 2 which keeps that line in the mix for this months prize. 🙂 There are also a hatful of chances in (Suds) line 1 going tomorrow.

Hi
A tad unlucky as The Big Breakway pulled up halfway round and Zanahiyr our 100-1 shot finished third when we needed second.  🙁  To compound a bad run Love Envoi led over the last only to be caught by Honeysuckle late on. However we had best price so got the 11-1 on Love Envoi which means we only dropped 1.8 points on the day. We have a hatful of festival outsiders for tomorrow which are as follows
1.30 American Mike 40-1 but we have taken 16-1 without Impaire Et Passe and Hermes Allen
2.10 I Am Maximus 50-1 but 22-1 without Geri Colombe and The Real Whacker
2.50 HMS Seahorse @ 10-1 for 8 places
4.50 Third Time Lucki @ 14-1 for 6 places

Hi
The best Festival line we have going after day one is (Rob’s) line 2 which had the following successes which all scored points.
Jonbon Second 2-1
Corach Rambler Won 6-1
Constitution Hill Won 4-11
Honeysuckle Won 9-4
Constitution Hill, Corach Rambler, Honeysuckle and Jonbon were all points scorers in several other lines as well and we will update those over the next few days.

Hi
We dropped a couple more points yesterday but such is life and here are our Cheltenham selections
2.50 The Big Breakaway @ 14-1 for 8 places
3.30 Zanahiyr @ 100-1 for 2 places
4.10 Love Envoi @ 13-2 for 4 places
We obviously have a hatful of runners going from our Ten To Follow thread and we will update those results on a daily basis as the festival runs it’s course.  🙂

Hi
Of the weekends bets Suds Wales finally came good and the Celtics beat the Hawks but all the others had a touch of the nears. Arsenal beat Fulham but Fulham couldn’t score Libby jumped the last in the lead but was mugged late on and the golf bet was a lost cause as explained in the previous post. But if we survive Cheltenham this week we will be back for another go at the weekend.

Hi
We have dropped a couple of points over the last week but it has been a funny old week weather wise.
We are currently standing on +38.60 for the month and most of those points will be used up during the festival, however there is one cheeky each way double over at Thurles today.
3.40 Out The Gap @ 7-1
4.15 Robindeglory @ 5-1 (4 places)

Hi Suds
That’s the best way fun to approach Cheltenham and now gives you two options in each of the races one for points one for cash. There is also a reasonable chance of a cash out during the week if the luck is on your side, I will put up a cash alterantive for our best line after checking out the non runners.

Hi
Somedays you really shouldn’t bother… lol.
As I was placing the bet Chad Ramey who was two shots up in the lead was at the short par 3.
He subsequently hit two balls on target which rolled into the water and ended up taking 7 which all but ended his chances. Let’s hope this is not an omen for Cheltenham next week. On the plus side I did manage to spot the Basketball error, bet365 as previously mentioned list the away side first.
It would not be fair to claim the reverse result from last night so we have placed a new basketball fixture.

Hi
There are a couple of options over at Gowran Park tomorrow

1.30 Mi Sueno 66-1 but taken at 23-1 for 9 places
2.00 Melnick 150-1 taken at 30-1 for 9 places

Hi
Thurles was abandoned and there is nothing on for tomorrow but we hope to be back by the weekend.

[Mike]

Hi
Ella Rose 66-1 has been taken @ 20-1 for 10 places.
Sir Prince Edmond @ 20-1 for 8 places
The markets are still adjusting but as I am working today needs must.

[Mike]

Hi
Things on here maybe a lttle quiet until Cheltenham next week but there are a couple of possibilities over at Thurles tomorrow which are as follows.
3.05 Ella Rose 66-1
3.05 Sir Prince Edmond 33-1
We will update our options when the extra markets are published in the morning.

[Mike]

Hi
Another no score draw for either team his week we only managed to get two of the six bets home which were Benetton Treviso +7 to beat The Ospreys @ 1-1
PHX Suns -1 to beat Chicago Bulls 1st Quarter @ 10-11
Amazingly we had a 33-1 winner on the Winning Post Tips thread on the same day which was the only selection, so maybe I should be a bit more positive with my wagers. ?
The lottery ticket had no returns at all so its on to next week. 🙂
