I've also chucked a few others in to the mix:

2.10 Blue Hell (beat Diamond King last time out) & Mad Jack Mytton

4.50 Goodwood Mirage

5.30 Savello (h/t CVB) & have to include token punts on Chris Pea Green and Dunraven Storm (little/no chance for either but have to cover for sentimental reasons).

I don't bet but been doing the telegraph fantasy racing at work. I don't know anything about horses but I am top.  After the first day I was somehow top 20 in the country! Not sure who to go for the gold cup though.  I've gone for Don Poli at the moment.

I tried to stop it winning but even my last minute few pennies couldn't do it!

If I hadn't backed a couple of your selections this week, I'd probably be doing very badly. :)

I have zero recollection of placing this bet at 1 am .

Just logged in and was knocked sideways! 

 

 

Wow!

Would have been over £14k if Apple's Jade had won. ;)

 

Edit: Didn't we have one of our Irish VTers place a bet whilst very drunk a year or two ago and win a couple of grand, too?

Well done Brumerican. Remember, quit while you are way ahead! 

I thought Don Cossack looked fantastic in the Gold Cup. Like Black Beauty! shame Cue Card fell as he looked threatening. With Thistlecrack going over fences next season and Coneygree hopefully back from injury, it could be an even higher quality 2017 field
