Re: The Official Cheltenham Festival Thread 2022
Mighty days racing. Medium sized profit for the week, so cannot argue with that Hit the crossbar too on Tiger Roll and Gallopin Des Champs, would have made it an amazing week. Nevertheless hope helped put a few pound in peoples pockets 18 Wins For Ireland, 10 for Willie Mullins alone. All but four o...

Re: The Official Cheltenham Festival Thread 2022
Short and sweet today 13:30 Two horse race, reverse forecast, can't but give a tiny profit. But if looking for the win, I'm a big fan of Gallopin De Champs. 14:10 Big field.. some decent value. I like Winter Fog ew, am on him at 9/1 Sire De Berlias, has a decent claimer up but is getting on. Alaphil...

Michael O'Leary might kill Jack Kennedy, albeit did integrity of sport no harm.
Facile Vega hacks up on a single bet, the reverse forecast and James Gate on the place round out the day.
Tiger winning would have been lovely
