i'm going Thursday. I can't back Big Bucks because i'm not a millionaire so might have to look elsewhere. The Ryanair looks interesting i'm looking at picking one of four horses in that one.

 got on at 10/1 and just nosed home, so feelin swell

i'm going with Alberta's Run, on the basis that i've won on him before and i have a little nipper called Albert, so it has to be done,
 all very technical

yes it was very close as they were tireing, couple of inches i reckon, i think me shouting very loud at the telly brought him home for me,
 but you had ruby so good day for us both, hope it continues.

andy, Big Buck's can't be beaten. Oscar Whisky for 2nd.

Riverside Theatre will win the Ryanair in style.

Riverside Theatre is a class act but his record at Cheltenham puts me off.

Also, another horse has died in connection with the filming of "Luck". Therefore, all filming with horses has been stopped.

Difficult to see how the show can continue without horses, seeing as its a programme about gambling on horses

Two more yesterday.................

Abergavenny                   2012-03-14   Cheltenham    Fell - Broke Elbow - Destroyed
Featherbed Lane (IRE)   2012-03-14   Cheltenham    Broke Leg - Destroyed

Is everybody being suitably entertained ?


"Luck" has now been cancelled due to the horse deaths connected with filming the show.

WOW! What a ride from Geraghty!

RIVERSIDE THEATRE never looked in it, just found something from deep down to beat Alberta's Run by half a length thanks to a jockey absolutely on fire!

I'm 3/3 today in what looked like a very tricky day this morning, including 19.5 on CAPE TRIBULATION EW!

My mate £3,380 on a £23 flag bet yesterday... tomorrow at Cheltenham is going to be special!

Gone with Big Buck's and Oscar Whisky in the next. Would be chuffed if Oscar Wisky can pull it out of the bag,

[Pete3206]

I'd like to announce that I cannot friggin wait for tomorrow.

[glasses]

I'd like to announce that I cannot friggin wait for tomorrow.

Me too. Hoping for a winner this year, didn't have any last year. Hope Kauto Star wins the big one, think Long run might do it though. Barry Geraghty has been on fire though, so I'm not ruling out his ride

[bob]

Yeah I fancy Burton Port big time.

Don't think Kauto can do it unfortunately, the way Nicholls yard is going.

Like Midnight Chase also... might change in favour on Long Run tomorrow once I've calmed down a bit.

Scooped the 306/1 placepot!
