Long Run, 13/2 – Gold Cup.
Having listened to Yogi Breisner’s detailed and logical explanation of his poor round of jumping in the Paddy Power, there’s every reason to believe he will improve further for this stiffer test, and he really could be a monster, (a point that should be accentuated when Riverside Theatre bolts up this afternoon).Would have been Kempes in the Ryanair @ 50s as posted in "Best Value Bets" thread. Would taken 25s with a run.
Mikael D’Haguenet
What would you be betting him to do exactly?
He was a little unlucky today but hes hardly banker material. Drop Mikael until he does something worth talking about would be my advice.
Before today it would have been Big Zeb who was briefly allowed to drift out to 4/1 after his last run but after today £5,000 EW on Unaccompanied at the generally available 8/1 – she looks a class act in a relatively weak year
I reckon there are some long noses on this thread – ten big ‘uns at stake and some people would CHOOSE to go for a win double at Cheltenam? Hmm, i think it might well be different if 500 purple notes were being handed over the counter!!
Menorah £5k e/w for me.
I salute you all as fair-minded, sporting enthusiasts of the game. As a punter, I would go for the shortest price I could get about anything. That would give me the best chance of coming away with some money, which I could then use to bet at Perth, Carlisle, Wetherby, and all points South to Plumpton, where I can get a much better edge for my money than betting at the ultra-competetive Cheltenham. Where money is concerned I’m far too hard-hearted. At Cheltenham I shout, and laugh, and cheer, and watch the brilliant horses, trainers and jockeys do their utmost to win, and watch my daily £2 ew all-race accumulator falter somewhere along the line, as ever. My schizophrenia is all about keeping money-making and sport quite separate.
Fair enough philosophy – but while you were theorising you forgot to mention which hotpot you’d leave your money on?

Well, Sea Pigeon didn’t say it had to be a bet "Today". It’s another four weeks to Cheltenham, I do not know what will turn up, what the ground will be like, and if I did choose a horse now will the jockey I expect to be on him still be fit on the day. I’d rather take a free bet on anything at 9/4 on the day (because all the hot-pots defect) than 4/5 now. But if you put a gun to my head and said I have to place the bet today it would be Big Bucks. Now that Grand Crus has come along to muddy the waters (but not be a real threat to Big Bucks,
in my opinion
), I would love to take at least £18,000 away to invest properly in less shark-infested waters than Cheltenham.
