One punter will be cursing the late decision to allow Binocular to run after laying the JP McManus-owned six-year-old for just over £50 at 999-1 on Betfair.

Excellent stuff mate, very well done!


Secondly...In response to Dave Lister earlier regarding the ride on Dunguib...I agree with Gaz in that is was a poor and inexperienced effort from Brian O'Connell. He had too much confidence and was in a poor position and held on for too long. Menorah and GMOOH kicked for home at a point in the race where a lot of horses make a move at Cheltenham. O' Connell himself made a move at exactly the same point in the bumper last year and very quickly put the race to bed putting about 3-4 lengths between himself and the favourite and then running on strongly up the hill.

When the front 2 made the move O' Connell was in an awful position about 8 horses wide and IMO lost many lengths at that point. For a split second he seemed to start pushing but then got back on the bridle and IMO that was an error of judgement. He should have been in a better position at that point and I put that down to inexperience.

What has been a disastrous day for all my ante-post bets with Dunguib being sunk, was an absolute shocker all round, but just managed to get a bit back with Lacdoudal getting a place and Quevega winning the finale.

Tomorrow will hopefully be another day and a bit more succsesful!

Didn't see that well in Worthing Wire hope you had them in a lucky 15 as well.

Re: Cheltenham festival 2010 : Tue Mar 16, 2010 5:53 pm  

Thank you kindly, gentlemen.

I had 4 of my 6 picks in an e/w Lucky 15 - Menorah, Zaynar, Chief Dan George and sadly Kangaroo Court, not Carole's Legacy. Still, can't complain - that's the betting bank for the rest of the week and then some sorted.

I expect however that today has used up all my luck...and tomorrow, as we all know, is another day.

Re: Cheltenham festival 2010 : Tue Mar 16, 2010 6:15 pm  

Well done worthing wire!

Dont think any of mine got close today!

Re: Cheltenham festival 2010 : Tue Mar 16, 2010 7:33 pm  

Big well done Worthing Wire

Any tips for tomorrow then gents? I continued my poor run today with 0 winners Not had a winning bet for a good 2 weeks now. Change of luck around the corner hopefully
