Hi Joe
Well a better day but to be touched off in a photograph for the second time this week is frustrating. 🙁
However we dropped 2 points on the Down Royal bet, but Pied Piper lost in a photograph, Thomas Mor got a nice place at big odds and No Ordinary Joe got caught close home.
This means we ended up +9.4 points on the day and still managed to come out of Cheltenham with a profit. 🙂

Hi
We bypased the first Down Royal wager He Picked Us as the markets were all over the place. However we have gone with Midnight Fortune (now 80-1) but we have taken 27-1 for 9 places.  🙂

Hi
Well we scraped a place with Royal Thief but still lost 4.2 points on the day 🙁 Here are tomorrows Cheltenham pipe dreams plus a couple of each way extra’s over at Down Royal.
Cheltenham 2.10 Pied Piper @ 14-1 for 8 places
Cheltenham 2.50 Thomas Mor @ 40-1 for 6 places
Cheltenham 5.30 No Ordinary Joe @ 18-1 for 6 places
Down Royal 1.50 He Picked Us 40-1
Down Royal 2.30 Midnight Fortune 66-1
I will be waiting for the morning markets before going in on the two at Down Royal but may dabble on He Picked Us tonight as there appears to be a huge market fluctuation on this one between the main bookmakers. ?

Hi
Someday’s you just wish you had not got out of bed, all of the first three lost with Ashdale Bob pulling up. The best run was the last but Ahorsewithnoname was far too late getting going. The best result for the site was Envoi Allen from the Ten To Follow thread but as you know we cannot use those on here unless listed as a wager.  🙁
This leaves us with Royal Thief now 14-1 who as mentioned previously runs in the (so called) lucky last, it is just a question of do you feel lucky. ? The sensible thing to here is to leave it and live to fight another day but when have we ever been sensible. Apologies for anyone who has been getting an error message when logging on but just try it a second time it will work. We are tryimg to sort that out as we speak. We will update tomorrows bets later this evening hopefully when we have sorted out the site.

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.

[Mike]

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.

[Mike]

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.

[Mike]

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.

[Mike]

Hi

1.30 Mi Sueno 66-1 but taken at 23-1 for 9 places
