The Gooner Forum

I have to agree that Cheltenham, once again lived up to expectations.
Chamapagne Fever in the first race was my best result, and I'm happy to hear that those brave enough to lay McCoy in the race were rewarded.
Sprinter Sacre was the outstanding horse to watch jumping.
I can't, for the life of me think why I didn't have some of that lovely 4/1 offered on Our Conor, (probably too blinded by somemothersdohavem e/w) but the winner should be closely followed with next years Champion hurdle in mind.
Ever so pleased for Bryan (BJ) Cooper getting three winners and two seconds to finish just behind Ruby as top jockey. Not sure it was right to get him off the second fav for the Gold Cup, and AP is gonna kop flack for it too.
Solwhit, Cue Card, Hurrican Fly, Quevega, Simonsig and Bob's Worth just helped make it unmissable.

Hope some of you took on board my excellent point to point knowledge & backed Divine Intavention.

Went in again at s.p, finished 2nd at 50/1

I've already got Seabass backed at 20s and 16s (I think) so won't be backing him again. I think I may have a little bet on Teaforthree though, currently 16/1.

I think Fago could run a good race in the 4.50 today.

Cappa Bleu, finished a staying on 4th last year, so course & distance, shouldnt be a problem, also 2lbs less in the
handicap

I have gone for Teaforthree and Treacle as "serious" bets,and The Rainbow Hunter,and Swing Bill as the 50/1 nice name and my name bets.
I did Cappa Bleu last year,and if I had thought about it,would have done it again

I had Oscar time at 66/1 €2 e/w he came 4th anybody have any idea how much I get back.

No idea what you're filthy currency is worth, could be 10 pence or could be 10 million quid for all I know
