Ok Racing experts will Rachael Blackmore be the first female jockey to win The Gold Cup?

I'll answer my own question, no she won't, but came a close 2nd, maybe next year.

She is the first woman to win the Grand National though. Fair play to her! https://www.bbc.com/sport/horse-racing/56701659

I go racing regularly and dressing up is all part of the day out. I only ever go to the jumps so mainly wear winter clobber but never trainers or anything approaching sportswear.

Summer jumps is more casual but essentially you dress for the weather. Something that passed some of the more, ahem, younger racegoers by, who are seen freezing half to death in thin dresses and cheap suits at the festival.

Any Cheltenham investments we should be considering?

Won with Shishkin last time out so will be backing him in the RyanAir. Also won recently with Ahoy Senor so will be having him for the Gold Cup. Can anything beat Constitution Hill ?

The ground will have sent a lot of selections spinning and there's more rain forecast tonight.

I'll be there tomorrow but due to the astronomical cost it will be the only time this year, we will be in the Town on Friday.

I like Ben Paulings Bad in the Boodles at 4.50, with Rachel Blackmore on board.
But I'm no rich man so what do I know?

A mate of mine who's a farrier and apparently knows his stuff has suggested an each way bet on Master Chewy in the 1.30 at Cheltenham on Wednesday. Currently 150/1. I know fuck all about horse racing, so couldn't say whether this was good advice or not.

I just got back from work in time to place a quick bet on the last race and had a small e/w bet on Coolvalla as it sounds like Villa, also had Chemical Energy to win but it was pipped at the post.

I’ll have a look at tomorrow’s selections tonight so I can give the bookies a bit more money!!
