PROPHET with an "F".

[The Ante-Post King]

Right then this first race at Cheltenham today,as per usual i look at the final decs and do a very non Gingerish thing and that is price the field to what i believe is accurate,just in my head and it takes me all of 5 minutes to do! I made Spirit River and

Reve de Sivola

joint favs at 2/1,i wake up this morning and see 5/4 Spirit River, 4/1 Reve de Sivola! TAPK"s a country mile out,not for the first time i hasten to add! On closer inspection i still maintain its between the 2 but if you look at the paths they have taken to get here i believe Reve de Sivola has the better chance,Spirit river has taken the handicap route where as Reve de sivola has taken a more classy novice route. Where i see a distinct bias to Reve de Sivola is in the fact that both horses ran at the festival here in March,Spirit River won the Coral Cup carrying 11-2 and jumped 10 flights over 2m 5f in 2m 5secs,the race was run at an acceptable pace throughout and Spirit river ran on gamely. However Reve de sivola ran in the Grade 1 nov hurdle over the same course jumping the 10 flights in 5m 2secs carrying 5lb more than Spirit River and that race was ran at a good gallop,it was a quality race!The Ascot Gold Cup winner ran in it and Reve de Sivola finished 2nd to none other than Peddlars Cross! I shall take a chance that

Reve de Sivola

i s fit enough to win this and at 4/1 i feel he is over priced! We"ll see!

£100 win

Reve de Sivola

4/1

Absolute ****** Poetry from the one and only,this is a serious horse who can only get better,he was as green as a pea jumping the last and he wants 3 miles to allow him to jump at a more sedate pace (memorys of the Challow there)! Thanks supersilver by the way,its rude not to acknowledge praise! Watch this horse,he was blatantly unfit but class prevailed! 29"s in running! No i wasn"t tempted!

I am expecting a run for my money in this 3m 1f handicap at Cheltenham from a horse who was pulled up last time out! His Novice form is rock solid and he would be a Gold cup outsider on that form alone,he fairly ran on up the hill in the RSA and you know what i think about that race!

Gordon have you heard the latest?…..

I was on here the other night minding my own when I overheard a conversation between Fist, Ginger, Mr Wilson and Reet and the word is they are going to start up a tribute band in your honour….

If it weren’t that it tends to be a badge of infamy, APK, I’d nominate you for a knighthood – for disservices to the bookmaking industry.

TAPK turns professional on Jan 1st Grimes, i have been Semi Pro now for about 5yrs but its always been something i want to have a go at! I"m a bit nervous about upping the Ante but my game plan was to make 25k this year,i have made just over 19k to date and i have even managed to put them on here to prove it can be done! Now go and find that damn French horse you are waffling on about!

Feel a bit dozey at the moment. Off to bed.

Think you lost my vote a long time ago TAPK.

I don’t vote for "common people like you"!

Value Is Everything

I rate

Somersby

highly but whether he can beat the real Master Minded today remains to be seen, i have had to take the 8/1 about the former e/w to protect myself hopefully!

£50 e/w

Somersby

8/1 Cheltenham 1,55

Thats the last time Somersby runs over 2 miles!

[The Ante-Post King]

I"m not going to shout this one from the rooftops as i have stated previously last seasons RSA was full of future winners and not just handicappers! Little Josh has to be respected but i am of the belief if David Pipe thinks

Great Endeavour

is worth taking his chance,particularly on these revised terms then i am happy to stay loyal to this improving Grey! I have just thrown a tenner at

Calgary Bay

at 33/1 just in case!

£100 e/w William hill

Great Endeavour

9/1

[The Ante-Post King]

I have always thought

Cooldine

is a proper horse and have supported him accordingly,i do fear Tranquil sea but i have stayed loyal and had,-

[The Ante-Post King]

TAPK is that busy playing with pretend money on Fists challenge i forgot to put up my £100 win on Golden silver on this thread! If its not on it doesn"t count!
Anyway my last wager has to be on the weak horse

Jered

!I can see Paul Carberry nursing him round here,having said that if anything throws it down to him Jered will throw the towel in! Classy form on his day though!

[The Ante-Post King]

I am staying loyal to

Overturn

in the Christmas hurdle,i think this race has conditions to suit

this front running and fast improving horse! 7/1 is too big and is a solid e/w bet imo!

£85 e/w

[The Ante-Post King]

Will do Darren and Happy New Year to you too!

Today the real money goes down on

Reve de Sivola

in the dipper,i know he"s got a hell of a challenge on at these weights but i rate this fellow highly,his jumping will need to be much more fluent in this field as they wont come back to him like last time but this fellow is willing and if he can jump the last with half a chance he will battle!

£100 e/w

Reve de Sivola

7/1 Cheltenham 2,0pm
