Cheltenham Festival 2020

[Togo]

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....

Asterion Forlonge @10/3 1.30Ch.
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 .

Not my best day today Ken.... glad that it is over. Roll on the flat and perhaps my mojo coming back. The Lincoln soon and then we can turn our sights to the Summer scene.
