If there are any ante post junkies out there B365 are now going NRNB for the Cheltenham Festival.
Chelt no interest to myself but the forum does now have a dedicated ante post section. It contains Chelt comment and i have chanced my arm by posting one for The Lincoln.If there are any ante post junkies out there B365 are now going NRNB for the Cheltenham Festival.
SACRILEGE!!!Chelt no interest to myself
Yes i can see why many would think so. Tbh i used to love it but for the past three years i have focused on flat racing and surprisingly do not miss it. Even prior to this i was thinking over kill for the Festival with more hype than substance, but good hunting to those who still enjoy.SACRILEGE!!!
Agree this.At Cheltenham I like the 'let's distract them angle' of the festival.
I have found great value at meetings on the same days at Cheltenham I feel bookmakers aren't concentrating so much on.
There is a female jockey I can’t remember her name unfortunately , I saw her interview somewhere(again forgot), she might be the same one that made a plea in the RP letters page to be given more rides last season and it worked to an extent....anyway she said she had been over riding in races in Greece and befriended 2 Greek jockeys who had helped her and put word in to get her a few rides, she said she was bringing them back and returning the favour over here, by the sound of the name it wouldn’t surprise me if this fella was one of those lads.A new one on me but Eracles Eracleous is shown booked to ride one in the last at Kemp on Sun, as he claims 5lbs he must have ridden some winners somewhere. Not sure why but Gladiator comes to mind. I bet when Dean gives the riding orders he calls him mate.!
Ok I did a bit of google the jockey who made the plea last season was Sophie Ralston, I checked she races a lot for Dean Ivory, you mention Dean in your earlier post so if that refers to Dean Ivory , then I would be 100% certain my last post about the Greek jocks is why this fella is here riding on Sunday.Cheers O Outlander your above good to know.
Ey Up Lads!!!
Any of you remember this old fart?
It is going to be a very different Cheltenham without all the Ruby Walsh talk, I wonder who will take over his mantle...
I agree.Paul Townend.
