Cheltenham Festival 2011
« on: March 08, 2011, 03:58:08 PM »
Ok, those who love a flutter or going to the races give your thoughts on these catergories:

1) Banker of the festival

2) Best bet of the festival

3) Lay of the festival

4) Best pub to drink in Cheltenham

5) Horse you'd like to win for sentimental reasons

Just checked the odds, thought Menorah was shorter. He's carrying al ot of weight but i probably wont lay him, specially with it being on the first day.

Time for Ruppert is very well fancied at 9/4. Anyway heres mine.

1) Big Bucks, cant see anything stopping him in the World Hurdle.

2) Dunquib is 14/1 at the moment in the Champion Hurdle, thats if he goes in it. If he does, I know Binocular and Menorah are more likely to win it but, 14-1 for such a class horse looks tempting.

3) He let me down last year and with the going likely to be good i'm going to go against Masterminded.

4) The Lansdown, its close to the Station and hopefully like last year will have a Pork Roast on.

5) Kauto Star, I know age is catching up with him, at 11 it might be asking alot for the Gold Cup. If he did it the roar up the home straight would be amazing.

1. Quevega

2. As above, anything better than evens is like buying money!

3. Cue Card in the Supreme Novices, terrible race for favourites

4. Not exactly in Cheltenham but The Plough is probably the best for a pre race tipple

5. I won't be backing him but it would be fantastic for Denman to come back and win another Gold Cup

Dusty Carpet is the one. It's never been beaten.

The Plough or The Royal Oak, both in Prestbury have excellent real ales.
