Good thread throughout the week all. Enjoyed it.5

Needed Gard Le Victre in last placed for about a grand or to win for about 5 grand. Looked like Johnson didn't want to try to get into the race.

Finally in profit for week lol thanks @PaddyP17, ended up like £55 which is a nice suprise.
Great thread too enjoyed following everyone elses fortunes/ tips.0 -
Loved this thread, been a delight to read and enjoy. And a result or 2 as well!0

Agree, it’s been a great thread with insight, humour and deep understanding.
On a personal level, Samcro and Laurina have made this one of my best Cheltenhams for years.
Well done to those that won (other than from bet365 of course - grrrrr!) and unlucky to those that didn’t. As long as the betting is for fun then no harm done, which is as it should be.5 -
Great thread and well done to everyone that won. Personally down on the week but that’s part of it. Fantastic week of sport and second only to a summer major football tournament for me.1

North Hill Harvey and Dresden put down after falls in the last race...0

If I'd known how bad that fall was I'd never have made my previous comment in running.
I feel horrible. What's the best charity for retired race horse welfare I can donate to?4 -
He nearly held out. I was on that (thanks to my mate Gino).LenGlover said:Gino Trail got me into a small profit on the day
Definitely up on the week, thanks to all the offers, otherwise would have been down.2 -

Was a cracking week, even if a bit different to the norm.
Samcro was awesome and a good result. Something tells me I'll look back at my decision to lay off some of my antepost at 4/5 as not one of my finest decisions!
Was up to my eyeballs laying un de sceaux and with Balko des flos. Probably the highlight of week. Don't underestimate balko des flos; could be gold cup horse next year.
Ended on a downer with the demise of North hill harvey. I stuck around for a while but it did look bad and turned out that way. The screens were up for a good half hour after so they must've given him every chance. RIP3 -
Moorecroft where I had one of my horses is a charity run centre paddy1

Donations have gone to both Moorcroft and the Racehorse Sanctuary. Both look like very worthy places - I'd urge you all to donate what you can.4

Just watched the 2017 Cotswold Chase back, for some reason (probably because of donations etc) - Many Clouds' final run. I'm in absolute pieces right now. His 2015 National win is one of my absolute favourite sporting memories. What a wonderful horse he was.4

had a final tot up yesterday including 2 days there hotel and trains, and betting for the week am £163.00 down which isn't bad as ive probably consumed double that in Guinness.
blow by blow and le prezien the 2 big winners for me also a skybet special of
mullins/elliot/henderson to train 15+ winners combined @ 20/14 -
I could see me getting back into racing after enjoying this Cheltenham and this thread so much. Being retired might help as well.
Having Irish builders in was perfect timing too. The gave me one 12/1 winner, one loser, and two or three placed, so it's been a good week.0 -
Samcro 3/1 to win any race at the festival next year.
Worth a bet ?1 -
Reasonably productive Cheltenham for me, around £190 up, mainly thanks to the £20 on Samcro at 4/1 and £10 EW on Native River at 6/1. Thought the ground ruined it a bit but was still a decent watch what I saw.
Withdrawals came in over the weekend but bank account drained this morning. I know completely off topic and ranting but fraudsters are right up there IMO. Don’t give a shit who they take from as long as they don’t have to work to earn a living. I’m hopeful my bank can help but not the point, absolute scum of the highest order0 -

have bought tickets for weds and thurs next year as i had quite a few rewards for racing points to use up, also tickets are at a cheaper rate, would recommend staying in Birmingham for visiting cheltenham, hotels are cheap a reasonable amount of nightlife after heading into cheltenham from the festival and getting in 1 pub just wasn't enjoyable so headed for Birmingham, and had a night out there, the wednesday was fine but the thursday i have never seen so many wankers in one place ( guinness village ) at the bar at 1.15ish in the afternoon and some lad was calling the asian bloke serving sachin tendulkar, tbf the 1st time he said it the guy serving found it funny after the 10th time not so funny they were then outside later in the day singing every barmy army song, so many people there with no interest in racing, kindly stick to the epsom derby or royal ascot, the only other critique is the drinks rules, last year 4 maximum worked great cue this year me getting stuck behind some scouser who proceeded to order 16 pints of guinness, 2 bottles of champagne and 6 lagers - of course all poured 1 at a time!!!.
also on ante post markets i have touched nothing for next year but did have a browse, altior at 6/4 for the queen mother already!!!!!
saw that rich ricci has a new recruit that is strangely being trained by nicky henderson the horse is called "palixandre" and should be running in a bumper soon1 -
