Am amazed it’s taken so long for the big owners to give the Hannon’s horses. I hope they go on and win classic for one of the Sheikhs
Finish up work Friday
Study all weekend
Monday afternoon drive to Stow on the Wold with 3 friends
Check in to holiday cottage
Down the pub for a few cheeky beers and always end up staying too late, followed by red wine back at the cottage
Tues morning a bit hazy, but get up for Morning Line and MASSIVE fry up – enough to get you through the day
Get a lift to the races with Tony are "chauffeur" (AKA husband of the cottage cleaner)
Arrive around 11.30, wander around course, Centaur for a pint or 2, tented village to buy a stupid hat or pink cords, pre-parade to see the Supreme runners
Up to reserved grandstand seats (expensive but worth every penny for the space and view), put placepots on, send 1 runner down to the betting ring, watch races x 7
After racing down to the Storyteller for dinner & red wine. Winner pays
Tony pick up around 8.00, back to cottage for 2nd half of the Champs league, more red wine and cheese & biscuits
Wed – repeat except different dinner venue
Thurs – repeat except different dinner venue & Europa league
Friday – drive to course, do not move from grandstand seat (except to see Gold Cup runners in paddock) area as way to busy
Home for about 8.00…knackered but already dreaming about next yearI think I read last week that Coneygree is likely to be out for the season which is a real shame
Not sure they moved house, but the reason given for moving their horse was to be closer to home. Impressive today too…
IAS bet – 1/6th odds the place.
It’s spread from the UK beting ring all the way to Australia!Here are mine:
I can’t see that I selected one for the Champion Hurdle so have added Rock on Ruby. Hope that’s ok.
Gold Cup – Flemenstar 14/1 2pt win
Champion Chase – Sanctuiare 12/1 1pt ew
Champion Hurdle – Rock on Ruby 7/1 2pt win
Arkle – Overturn 5/1 2pt win
World Hurdle – Oscar Whisky 5/1 2pt win
RSA – Unioniste 10/1 2pt win
Supreme – Melodic Rendezvous 8/1 2pt win
Ryanair – Champion Court 10/1 1pt e/way
Neptune – Pont Alexandra 5/2 2pt winCheers
BenI need to go with a horse that only has the Ryanair as a target….
1pt e/w Champion Court 10/1
Good performance from My Tent Or Yours, but way too short for the Supreme. Easily beaten by another Henderson horse Chatterbox,
Don’t take that form literally as they crawled round in the heavy ground and was a sprint from the last. I’d be amazed if Chatterbox gets anywhere near MTOY in the Supreme.
Will be JP’s call and can’t remember him ever running a novice in a championship race. Has to be the Supreme (particularly for my 20/1 & 10/1 AP vouchers….)
