Cheltenham Festival 2020
61 Answers
Well the festival is still on....it takes a lot to scare the racing fraternity. I read an interesting comment about sports stadiums being full and the perceived dangers of the virus being transmitted, the point being that if they close them all down people are going to gather in pubs and bars to watch instead. The stadiums are covered wall to wall with cctv and tracing carriers would be relatively easy but in the bars etc not so easy. Still....I am watching at home but one of my Brothers will be there for 3 days. Can't see the point of the ITV7 including 2 races from Southwell, what's all that about? I have picked a horse in all the Cheltenham races but for now only done....

Notebook @10/3 2.10Ch.
Kildisart @12/1 2.50Ch**
Cilaos Emery @15/2 3.30Ch.
£1.00 E/W Acca Double and Trebles. Done ** as a free £2.50 e/w single will probably do Cilaos Emery later. I have also earmarked Honeysuckle 4.10, Beakstown 4.50 and Springfield Fox 5.30 for later and even another punt if it all goes pear shaped.
The ITV7 is the first five named at Cheltenham and Mukha Magic 1.45 Southwel, & De Bruyne Horse 2.25 Southwell. Done a little 7 timer on that just in case 25,600/1. Good luck if you have a punt and I hope you enjoy the racing .

Wouldn't let me on this page yesterday, Togo. Had to open a separate thread. Did you draw attention from some of AB's numpties, or something. 4 removed answers. Just about to cross the 'Ts' and dot the 'is' as regards today's selections. Where's yours?

Obviously disappointed with the result of the first race but as a spectacle, it was a superb finish. 3 horses giving their all. That's what the Festival is all about.

Pricing 3 jobs up, haircut and shopping this morning so i'm a bit of an early bird. Sorted main bets out, will decide whether or not to bother with ITV7 later - probably will seeing how it's a rollover:-)

Mornin Ken and on lookers. You are off to a flyer....I have to get out handy as well and will be doing a punt later based on these runners.
Goshen 1.30
Ciel De Niege 2.10
Thyme Hill 2.50
Clan Des Obeaux 3.30
Don Poli 4.10
Two Taffs 4.50
Front View 5.30
The ITV7 is already on and is the first 5 of those with Shanroe in Milan 2.35 Fakenham, & Monarchofthegrange 3.15 Fakenham. I have done a 50p e/w 7 timer, and 10p e/w 6 timers from that list. It is a massive 2,840,291/1 so I cant even put a quid on for fear of busting the limit. :)) I have had more winners at the fringe meetings than I have at Cheltenham this week . :(( Will put a patent bet together when I get back in later as it is a pain changing the bets if you get a non runner. Good luck.

Just had word from my brother who was at Cheltenham. He and his mates have all returned home first thing this morning. Word was yesterday, that after today everything would be postponed. They have decided to travel whilst they still can, anticipating that if there was a massive rush to get home then they could be stranded. He is not a mug or a liable to panic, he is pragmatic and level headed............. sometimes. :))
That was desperately unlucky for Jamie Moore - and for you, Togo. Really feel for the lad. That would have been the easiest winner of the week. Just had a peek to see if he has a chance to redeem himself later in the day and he has just one more ride - Gino Trail in the 4.50. I may have a littler e.w. on it.
