MikeKeymasterHi
I have been patiently waiting for one of my ante post wagers to run in the hope of pulling off a stroke and Rob goes and beats me to it with Jingko Blue today which he advised at 20-1 (a while back) on his QUALITY RACING 2026 thread. He still has a few to go so if you have not been following the thread there are still two days to go so get your reading glasses out and follow the link.
MikeKeymasterHi Rob
“What can you say about Jingko Blue” how about “Great shout”…lol. That plus Il Etait Temps in the Ten To Follow thread made for a nice day at the office of Rob. I will link the exact page on the Ante Post Wagers thread for you as it is a well deserved mention. It must be nice to be in that position with two days to go.
MikeKeymasterHi Rob
If Majborough jumps cleanly he wins in my book. But there’s the rub if you one of the many who have gone all in on Majborough you will be praying every time he leaves the ground. But again your eagle eye has spotted a profit before the race has started and that’s the way it should be. You must remind me to get in touch over the exchange markets, I have dabbled but…. ?
MikeKeymasterHi
A late update from the sick bed sees Mgame going in with Final Demand (using the second £5 free bet option) but without Romeo Coolio and has been placed at 5-2. I am definitely seeing some tactical betting here lets hope it works as they could technically both come out with a win.
MikeKeymasterHi Suds
No worries I have taken 5-2 on Romeo Coolio (Bog attached)
Points wise Suds was the only winner but what a win with +21.4 for the race which means the monthly competition now stands at
Suds +21.4
Moi +9.5
The overall competition now stands at
Mgame +193.43
JoeH +172.00
Suds +170.91
Rob +137.96
The cash competition now stands has a couple of winners in it
Suds now on +37.88 with Lossiemouth winning bit Anzadam losing.
Mgame has joined the fray by virtue of Brighterdaysahead @ 9-4 W/O Lossiemouth +16.25 and one unused £5 bet
Rob 1x unused £5 bet
JoeH 1X £5 unused bet
Tomorrows Cheltenham runners are as follows
2.00 Romeo Coolio (Suds)
2.00 Final Demand (Steve, Andy, Mgame & JoeH)
2.40 The Yellow Clay (Rob & Moi)
4.00 Majborough (Mgame & JoeH)
4.00 Il Etait Temps (Rob)
MikeKeymasterHi Rob
The moment of truth arrives…lol. best of luck and thanks for all the input especially with Kel Histoire who is beginning to look like great shout.
We have both gone with Paul Nicholls runners in the 2.40 today and I know Harry Cobden has plumped for Porquoi Pas Papa having won comfortably on Bibe Mus four days ago but I believe with Sam Twiston Davies on board I still have a squeak.
The concern was the timing of his last run being so close to this race but I believe he needed the mark to get off the right weight to run. So it may prove to be a stroke of genius or a predictable disaster waiting to happen.
Either way best of luck as the kit kat is awaiting the winner especially as Suds has gone also gone with Bibe Mus with Madness d’Elle as the option. Intersting that nobody went for the fancied runners. ?
MikeKeymasterHi
Even I am getting confused now (I think its getting tactical) we have everybody piling in on the 4.00…lol. But at least it will be an interesting race to watch.
Lossiemouth (Suds)
Anzadam backed to win without both Lossiemouth & The New Lion (Rob & Suds)
The New Lion (Steve)
Brighterdaysahead without Lossiemouth (Mgame)
MikeKeymasterHi
This is going to get interesting as Steve has just contacted me to say he is putting his £5 on The New Lion. This means we now have three members in a kit kat challenge on the 4.00 and I would hate to call it.
The NewLion has been taken at 11-4 (with BOG attached)
MikeKeymasterHi
I have been left with three of my ante post bets running and have my money back on all of the others which leaves us with the following wagers left standing.
Thursday sees Absolutely Doyen @ 14-1 for 4 places in the Pertemps Hurdle
Friday still has Celtic Dino @ 25-1 looking good value now in the County Hurdle
along with Newbrook Diamond @ 33-1 for 4 places in the Martin Pipe Conditional Hurdle
I will put a couple of others up on the To “CAP” the season off. ? thread which I will be looking to use in each way doubles along with these in my usual 5 horse Cheltenham each way doubles etc but obviously the price on Celtic Dino has dropped to 16-1 for any new bets.
MikeKeymasterHi
I have placed the Lossiemouth win bet @ 15-8 and both Anzadam win bets @ 9-1 without (both Lossiemouth & The New Lion). If anyone has any other bets let me know by 11am tomorrow latest as I am visiting Mgame who is laid up in hospital and the reception is lousy.
The TTF runners for the first day at Cheltenham are as follows
2.00 Kopek Des Bordes (Rob)
2.00 Lulumba (Mgame,JoeH & Moi)
4.00 Lossiemouth (Suds)
4.00 The New Lion (Steve,Rob,Andy & JoeH)
4.00 Brighterdaysahead (Andy & Mgame)
4.00 Anzadam (Rob & Suds)
MikeKeymasterHi
Can Happen let the side down but we only lost a point so we start today on +19.11 as we head to the 3.43 at Gowran Park for a 100-30 bet builder which we hope will keep the pot boiling.
Miss Mini Bee for 5 places
Hillstar Blues for 7 places
There are no To Follow horses today but Miss Mini Bee is an extra markets horse and Hillstar Blues won for us in the Ridiculous Ideas for 2025 thread but is now stepping up in trip and may help us out again.
MikeKeymasterHi

Navan 1.18 Moulin Labbe @ 11-8 Won
Navan 1.50 Galileo Dame @ 1-1 Won
Navan 3.00 Hens Tooth @ 3-1 Won
Navan 4.08 Found A Fifty @ 8-11
Kelso 5.10 Push the Button @ 11-8
Ospreys +5 to beat Ulster @ 10-11 Won
lets see if we cannot get go one better this week.
Sandown 1.15 Bibe Mus @ 9-4
Gowran Park 1.58 Manoir De Mirande @ 5-4
Ayr 3.20 Triple Crown Ted @ 13-8
Gowran Park 3.43 Miss Mini Bee (without Ag Obair Go Crua & Minority Interest
Ayr 5.05 Jet Of Stars @ 6-5
Chelmsford City 8.00 Desdemona @ 5-2The lottery numbers will be the usual 4,7,16,23,26 & 50.
MikeKeymasterHi
I was going to bypass this one today as he was 9-2 last night and technically is a bet builder/ extra markets horse but I can now get 17-2 for 4 places this morning so will take a punt.
Thurles 4.38 Can Happen
This one is not a to follow horse but is a handicap debutante today is stepping up trip and is worth a 1/2 point each way dabble.
MikeKeymasterHi
Surprise, surprise I finally had a runner that troubled the judge. Daydream Nation won at 11-2 and including the bonus points gave me +9.5 on the day and makes me the only point scorer this month (to date). This will only last for a few days but I will take my five minutes of fame as its all I am going to get…lol.
The next runners are likely to be next week when all the big guns come out and it should be a very interesting week and I will update the scores each day as although there is still Punchestown to come Cheltenham could well decide the competition. -
