Had a free bet to use, Henry and Rachel have done the bizzo.

Super Cheltenham, looks a bit damp though.

PaddyPower gave me a free £5 Cheltenham bet, so as I know bugger all about the gee-gees, I did my usual with any horse racing free bet.

  • Look for the first race paying lots of places.
  • Look for a 25/1 or greater shot with a name I like.
  • Use free bet E/W
Unbelievably worked today and won £12:50 for a freebie :lolol: :thumbsup:

EDIT
Oooo, exciting. They've given me another one tomorrow, so following the above criteria again, gone for a 33/1 shot this time :lolol:

I wouldn't wish one of my fancies on my worst enemy at the moment I doubt I'll be troubling the bookies too much with my one E/W bet today, Harsh in the 16-50.

Kinda bailed me out as well,even though I had the winner I picked up more for the Harsh place 😘

Ballyburn in the 13:45 is boosted 1/1 with Bet365.

£10 max stake for me, but I’ve seen others able to put down £40.

Possibly the worst festival day ever today
Agreed.

The offers have been shit, only a handful of freebies being dished out and I'm gubbed with most of them. And although there were a few extra places being paid yesterday, the odds in those races were shocking. I get that their over round has to be higher for EP races, but they were much worse than we've been used to.

And now the 4:10 has been called off, it just sums up this edition of Cheltenham so far. Gash.

I see Henderson has pulled many of his horses now including Jonbon and Shishkin due to the ongoing issues in the yard.

The markets agree with you, although Ballyburn has drifted slightly from 4/11 to around 4/9. (Well it hard last time I checked)
The heavy going will give Ile Atlantique a bit more of a chance but I still can't see Ballyburn getting beaten

Even 'Mr Hyperbole' Ed Chamberlain hinting that this meeting is a little dull and predictable.
Mullins can't win EVERYTHING Shirley?
