Re:Early thoughts on CHELTENHAM

Witness Protection e/w

Monkfish's first time round Cheltenham fences nearly found him out.
He certainly is a huge horse.

Queen Mother Champion Chase is the race i most want to see , Put The Kettle On loves Cheltenham and i will be having a full go on this one at the price , think he can overturn the favourite
Johnson should have a good day with Some Neck Race 5 and Zanza Race 6 , will includes these in an all to come
Also looking forward to seeing Monkfish today
Cant wait for racing to start :woohoo: :woohoo:

Well done bud, hope that you won heaps.

Put the Kettle On , You Biscuit :woohoo: :woohoo: , love this horse

Ok small action plan requires the 2/1 double
Easyland
Envoi Allen

Good Punting

Had tears in my eyes watching Tiger Roll winning again , what a soldier

Shot Steck, great call Sky Pirate, you saved my backside from a skinning. Thanks

Brilliant Tiger Roll 👍

Well done Steck 👍

OK day 2 over and certainly a good pull back for the bookies.

We must consider there was really only 3 Festival bankers for the HEAVY punters :

SHISKIN
MONKFISH
ENVOI ALLEN

The others and well supported horse were

APPRECIATE IT won and well supported
HONEYSUCKLE won and well supported
CONCERTISTA well supported and beat
EASYLAND well support and beat by a legend Tiger Roll and great to watch, is National a possibility?
CHACUN POUR SOI beaten but not inconceivable.
The Bumper, 2 horse race and the less fancied won under great ride from Rachael.

Note! as normal “Steck” came to the party with a 20/1 winner in Sky Pirate.

So where does that put us with 2 days to go?

We have 2/1 on PAISLEY PARK with hopefully and great finish.
ENVOI a bit short for a single punt if you missed the banker treble.

We have plenty more 20/1, 50/1 and maybe even 100/1 shots in some difficult races, also massive potential exotics.

I can only add at this stage that it’s CHAMP for the Gold Cup, we can never forget that finishing burst last year.
It’s an open race with hard knockers and worried about Native River with Richard Johnson.

Just a reminder and considering the come back race

Mac's Gr1 tally is 2/8 (Please can I claim Tiger Roll, nope ,that race was not a Gr1, but yours truly was ecstatic and his win did help the bank balance )

There are three Gr1's today:
R1 ENVOI ALLEN
R3 [strike]DASHEL scratched - [/strike] then MIN
R4 FLOORING PORTER

Prosperous punting

My big priced Sceau Royal was badly hampered 2 out, came to his knees and still ran on to be beaten about 2/3 lengths so we fight back today with a doubke, Envoi Allen 5/10 on to Dashel Drasher 25/1, he is a huge price.

A punter in the UK stands to win £500k on Envoi Allen after a serious all to come with 4 horses which started in June.... got to shout the big horse even if just for this lad.

Enjoy another superb days racing...

Oh and before I go, a mention of Rachael Blackmore, jeez what is this lass made of, besides her 3 Gr1 winners so far, yesterday she fell 3 times in a row and the last fall quite nasty yet she got up and rode the last winner. The Iron Lady. AP and Ruby reckon she is the complete package and does everything right. Brilliant to see!
