Hi
We will be heading back to the Beat The Lotto Thread today but it was nice to see Robyndeglory grab sixth at 22-1 which at least kept the last few days honest by making us a +3.2 point profit on the day. 🙂

Hi
Nothing doing today as both ran unfortunately to form but such is life.
We will keep this thread alive just for fun over at Kilbeggan tomorrow then we will lay this thread back to rest and head back to the Beat The Lotto thread for the weekend.
There is not much to go on but Presenting Dylan in the 7.00 at 20-1 for 5 places looks worth a second glance. If this becomes a non runner or you fancy dipping your toe in the water elsewhere you could try Robyndeglory at 16-1 for 6 places in the 5.00. 🙂

Hi
It has been a while since we activated this thread but it will come back into play after a site revamp in the coming months but in a new format.
Any existing members (or new members on a trial basis) wishing to take a more active role please just drop me a line as usual.

In the meantime, as I am on here, there are a couple of old favourites we have won on before who look overdue today at Kilbeggan. Both are returning to hurdles after unflattering efforts over fences and both look good value with both being available at generous prices for extra places.

5.45 Crimson Chief @ 16-1 for 5 places
6.15 Owl Creek Bridge @ 16-1 for 5 places

Hi
As I am closing down the threads one by one for a revamp of the site (off season) I will finish this one by posting our top line this year which amazingly (points wise) closely matches last years best line.

Line 2

A Plus Tard 122.10 points
Appreciate It 0 points
Enegumere 77.52 points
Envoi Allen 26.20 points
Galopin Des Champs 39.52 points
Honeysuckle 132.25 points
Kilcruit 15.76 points
Kittys Light 7.10 points
Shiskin 48.29 points
Sir Gerhard 67.63 points

Total Points Total = 536.37

Hi
Well a disappointing finish to the festival with Falcon Eight ending up a non runner but at least that bought a return back on most of the outstanding ante post wagers. This also means instead of being wiped out today we had Mighty Stowaway placed at 33-1 (BOG) linked in with the non runner which avoided a last day disaster.
We will total our bets but the preliminary tally for our Cheltenham exploits will come out with a small but tidy enough profit for all the hard work we have put in.  🙂
We obviously now have finished another thread off and once the Ten to Follow, Beat The Lotto threads and football season finish we will then re-vamp the site or change it over to a different social media platform.  🙂

Hi
What a day Sassy But Classy was brought down by another horse Finian Destruval ran on to be third (betting without Allaho) but does not count as there was a non runner Hardline pulled up and Lisnagar Oscar lost.
By now I am thinking why do I bother then we hit the 4.50 and as they run up the hill we have Love Envoi (tipped at 14-1) who we need to bring in all of our outstanding ante post wagers just beating Ahorsewithnoname who we tipped up on here last night and used on the 100-1 shots thread this morning. To round the race off Nurse Susan 20-1 the replacement for the wager for the switched thread horse Ahorsewithnoname also placed in the race. The only drawback was I nearly killed myself watching the race but it would have been a hell of a way to go.  🙂
As you can imagine results like that do not come around very often but make it all worth while.
This means we have now had a return on two of our wagers of +22.42 points and +93 points and need Falcon Eight just to be placed to bring us in another tidy return tomorrow. 🙂
With this in mind we will take another punt on the last day before we total all of our wagers up but we will finish with a profit no matter what happens.

1.30 Knight Salute 20-1 (17-2 betting without Vauban and Pied Piper)
2.10 I like To Move It @ 19-2 (8 places)
2.50 Falcon Eight @ 25-1 (5 places)
4.10 Mighty Stowaway @ 25-1 (5 places)
5.30 Five O’Clock @ 16-1 (6 places)

[Mike]

Hi
As you may have guessed I was quite sweet on Ahorsewithnoname and with due reason as he not only came second but was nearly our first 100-1 winner.  🙂
However as for the thread all four of the places taken all paid out and made a cracking +33.2 point profit even if it nearly killed me watching it as the horse to beat him home was our selection from the main thread Love Envoi who we had taken ante post at 14-1.  🙂

[Mike]

Hi
As suspected there have now been a hatful of non runners today so here is the bet we have placed using last nights suggestions.

2.10 Sassy But Classy @ 10-1 (8 places)
2.50 Finian D’estruval 33-1 (12-1 betting without Allaho)
3.10 Lisnagar Oscar 33-1 (20-1 betting without both Flooring Porter and Thyme Hill)
4.10 Hardline @ 28-1 (7 places)
4.50 Nurse Susan @ 18-1 (5 places)

We obviously may have a lost a few points overnight but this is the final bet as we had to go in now well before the off.

We have used Ahorsewithnoname in the 100-1 shots as an each way extra bet and have used our free bet on Ain’t That A Shame in the 5.30 just to give a bit of interest through the card.

[Mike]

Hi
I have more or less as previously mentioned finished with this thread until the site re-vamp but just have to throw one in today in the 4.50 at Cheltenham which is Ahorsewithnoname who has just touched 100-1 but is available as an each way extra at the following prices.

10 places 26-1
9 places 30-1
8 places 35-1
7 places 50-1

[Mike]

Hi
I Am Maximus grabbed fifth so that bet was a void due to the special terms of the bet.

Of the others Galliard Du Mesnil and Indigo Breeze both placed which means we already have a return to come on yesterdays bet with both Boothill and Falcon Eight still to go.

2.10 Galliard Du Mesnil @ 16-1 Placed
2.50 Indigo Breeze @ 12-1 (8 places) Placed
4.10 Shady Operator @ 10-1 (5 places) lost
The County Hurdle Boothill @ 20-1
The Albert Bartlett Falcon Eight @ 16-1

Today we also had Andy Dufresne run (placed second) from our other bet which means as we had three non runners there we already have three singles in and the possibility of a double to come plus further singles.

County Hurdle Balco Coastal @ 16-1 (non runner)
Mares Novice Hurdle Love Envoi @ 14-1
Grand Annual Andy Dufresne @ 14-1 placed
Pertemps Hurdle The Big Galloper @ 12-1 (non runner)
Martin Pipe Conditional Deploy The Getaway @ 12-1 (non runner)

This means all of our bets to date now look as if they will all return a profit but most rely on Fridays results which means we have a bit of scope to have an extra punt for tomorrow.
However although we are knocking on the door with most of our bets we are not getting that elusive first (except obviously our ten to follow selections) therefore we will go for some big priced outsiders as follows.

2.10 Sassy But Classy 10-1 (8 places)
2.50 Finian D’estruval 33-1
3.10 Lisnagar Oscar 33-1 (4 places)
4.10 Hardline 20-1 (7 places)
4.50 Ahorsewithnoname 80-1 (5 places)
4.50 Nurse Susan 20-1 (5 places)

The bet has two selections in the last race as I have another shot to nothing bet for tomorrow and will decide after the non runners have been declared which one will be the single bet.

[Mike]

Hi Joe
No worries best of luck I think we will need it this week.  🙁

The first day confirmed a mass of non runners on our first wager with four of the first five being ruled out so we have cashed out which more or less broke even and have taken our remaining runner Shady Operator and included Galliard Du Mesnil who switched races over to a new bet with three going tomorrow. 🙂

The Ultima Handicap Chase The Big Breakaway @ 16-1 (non runner)
The Turners Novice Chase Galliard Du Mesnil @ 25-1 (switched race/non runner)
The National Hunt Chase Diol Ker @ 16-1 (non runner)
The Cross Country Chase Shady Operator @ 10-1
The Coral Cup I Am Maximus @ 14-1 (switched race/non runner)

2.10 Galliard Du Mesnil @ 16-1
2.50 Indigo Breeze @ 12-1 (8 places)
4.10 Shady Operator @ 10-1 (5 places)
The County Hurdle Boothill @ 20-1
The Albert Bartlett Falcon Eight @ 16-1

The other switched horse I Am Maximus is being used as a win bet in the 1.30 tomorrow as Sky Bet are offering a money back option if your horse finishes in the first five but places which is too good to turn down as it means we can go maximum on that one.

The second wager had four going today of which Our Power 12-1 and HMS Seahorse 10-1 both placed which will give us a return but now relies on Falcon Eight in the last leg to see if we clear a profit on the bet.

As you can see from the new bet we have re-used Falcon Eight just in case the bugger wins.  🙂

Hi
As Cheltenham approaches we will throw in another set of 10x each way doubles this time based around the first day of the meeting on Tuesday.

Once again there are slightly better prices available but we are always looking for the extra place in this type of wager.

Arkle Chase Magic Daze @ 12-1
Ultima H’cap Chase Our Power @ 12-1
Close Bros Mares Hurdle Martello Sky @ 12-1
Boodles H’cap Hurdle HMS Seahorse @ 10-1
Albert Bartlett Nov Hurdle Falcon Eight @ 16-1

[Mike]

Hi
We have now put down our second Cheltenham wager which is as follows and this once again will be 10x each way doubles for a minimum of 4 places at non runner no bet.

County Hurdle Balco Coastal @ 16-1
Mares Novice Hurdle Love Envoi @ 14-1
Grand Annual Andy Dufresne @ 14-1
Pertemps Hurdle The Big Galloper @ 12-1
Martin Pipe Conditional Deploy The Getaway @ 12-1

[Mike]

Hi
Although our early plans have been decimated by injuries etc we have decided now that non runner no bet has been introduced we will make our first wager.

The Ultima Handicap Chase The Big Breakaway @ 16-1
The Turners Novice Chase Galliard Du Mesnil @ 25-1
The National Hunt Chase Diol Ker @ 16-1
The Cross Country Chase Shady Operator @ 10-1
The Coral Cup I Am Maximus @ 14-1

Most of the above already 4 places on show but obviously extra places will be available on the day and you can obtain better prices by jumping between the current  bookmkaers odds on offer.

However to get the multiples we require at NRNB with 4 places we are happy enough. 🙂

The above bet is our usual each way doubles as if we get a non runner we will still have a mixture of singles and doubles on our orignal selections.

[Mike]

Hi
The new Ten To Follow competition for the National Hunt season will start on the 13th November 2021.
