Cheltenham Festival 18 - horse racing

[footyskillz]

Noticed no festival  18 topic for tips or fancies and have a couple like to mention so started new topic. 
Festival covered by Racing UK  ITV and radio stations as well as all book makers

If anyone has any thoughts or tips, maybe they are going to festival itself  this can be place to share stories and any thing else.

So day one had a fair few favs win.
Anyone strike big?!

I had decent money backing a few favs with winners Coo Star Sivola 5-1 and odds on fave Buveur D'Air. Along with Footpad. Who had at evens.

Sorry this is not a festival. Every year horses die.

[footyskillz]

Okay. So that's good point to make actually as it's to be remembered and respectful to the horses that do pass away.

I guess I mention festival for humans but yes horse animals don't seem to have a say. That's a good point made sorry if offended you in anyway. Good to see view points of this and make me aware.

Similarly gambling itself may not be to everyone's liking so I only put up to share and certainly don't mean to offend any one.

I don't think anyone would be so precious or snowflake-esque to be offended by this thread at all. Each to their own. I personally can't stand horse racing. Bores me senseless.

I also got a couple of winners yesterday. Nothing really takes my fancy today so just backing Mischievous Max e/w in the 1450 currently at 22/1.
This festival is great and really must go for a day one year.

I love horse racing but only jumps. Flat racing leaves me cold. Its a shame when horses die though and I suppose I employ cognitive dissonance to square my contradictory views on the sport.

2;50 Fixe Le Kap Each way
4:50 Style De Garde Each Way

I am not offended mate I just think calling it s festival is somehow wrong when horses die. It’s a horse racing betting event nothing more, fun for us human beings.

Looking forward to your picks tomorrow footyskillz if todays are anything to go by.

Hoof Hearted is a good each-way bet. Ask your bookie when she is running.

[footyskillz]

Had some decent winners yester hoping to land some each way today with the value. The 210pm 410pm &  530pm races in particular have lots of value.
