Would have been a nice touch had Cliffs came home. Never mind though, can't win em all. Fancied doing a wee double later tonight at Kempton - Lucymai 7.15 (3/1) & Lucky Escape 8.15 (5/4) the double pays 8/1 but had the streak of luck for today and going to oppose doing it now. Blaklion should come on for his run and go well in the national this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 He should do well, but it really is an open race. Wouldn't surprise me if a 40/1 win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mon Mome showed it can be done at 100/1 Not backed the winner for 10 years now. Comply or Die in 2008. Anyones race but I still love it. How long you been in the betting game then Ruge?

I've been a casual better since I was 18, but I'd say the last 8 years I've really got into it. Never spend daft money on it though. Try to keep it as fun as possible. If I feel like it's becoming a problem, which it sometimes does, then I get out of it for a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it as a sport and not just the betting aspect which can help step away when things get heavy at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can watch the horses, even when I'm not betting on them, as I enjoy it. It's great just sitting back and trying to pick a winner when you've got no cash on it. As I said before, I pick more winners when I'm not betting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Not much, though I've had a look at Thebarrownman e/w at 20s in the Eider up at Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Having a look through and nothing really special leaping out today. Going with a small interest Barney Rubble with VINNIE LEWIS 2.45 Newc @ 11/2 ACTING LASS 3.35 Kemp @ 9/2 Pays 35/1, otherwise it's keep the funds for the Cheltenham pot.

snowychap Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) Decided on an e/w L15 for a bit of interest: 1.15 Kempton - Wolfcatcher 2.45 Newcastle - Thebarrowman 3.00 Kempton - Humphrey Bogart 3.35 Kempton - Art Mauresque Edited February 24, 2018 by snowychap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) Nope, I've done my allowance in the week. Had a few little wins, but it all went back on. Hate not being able to have a flutter on a Saturday. Edited February 24, 2018 by Rugeley Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcRigo82 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Good to see that Ruby Walsh has returned to the saddle following his broken leg four months ago and just in time for Cheltenham. He has a very good book of rides over the 4 days for the Willie Mullins brigade too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 It's going to be an interesting Cheltenham that's for sure. I have a feeling it could be a year for the bookies, the Gold Cup is wide open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted March 7, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 7, 2018 I'm going on Tuesday. Only my second time ever to the races. No doubt I'll return with empty pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getabird and footpad are two strong favourites for the first two races on Tuesday. Watch out for any second now too, laid out especially for Cheltenham. And apples jade is alot of people's nap of the whole festival. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it online before you go . You'll probably get better value and you can make sure you're involved in every race before you go bankrupt trackside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
