Cheltenham 2012

betting on bumper suspended…

Are entries out today?

Have been told Hunt Ball is a certainty for the Byrne Plate, take 10s or better…

Initial entry stage closed at noon today.

Jessica Harrington ‏ @Jessica_Racing

Steps to freedom schooled around 12 hurdles at the curragh this morning. He was very good all on track for @CheltenhamRaces

Super offer.

Ruby tweeted to use it to back al ferof

Saw that alright. I’m well invested in Peddlers at this stage, does the special stand for bets struck before it was on offer I wonder

Of course not Dan, only bets struck from today on. I took Rubys advice

Any love for Alan King as top trainer at 33/1?

None from me. Any love for Davy Russell top jockey 20/1?

Wouldn’t touch him.

A few I’ll be looking at tomorrow when the weights are released for the handicaps

Moon Dice - County Hurdle - Already discussed. Price is too short for me at the moment. He’s come back out to 12’s but would like 16’s at this stage.

Idarah - various races.

Harpsey Cord - Kim Muir. A dog of a horse which Jim Dreaper is strangley talking up. from what I’ve read.

Sivola de Sivola - various races.

Toner DOudaries - various races.

Poungach - Pertemps - decent form behind Oscar Whisky and Sprinter Sacre.

Fingal Bay deffo out. Any word on Jetson for the Pertemps yet?

Jessie is having an open day today I think so more should come out in the next 24 hours.

I’m backing Alan King for top trainer at 33/1 in Ladbrokes this lunchtime.

think i’ll have 10 on that too

Took a look through his entries last night - some of the following will go close at very least

Montbazon
Invictus
Medermit
Batonnier
Walkon
Kumbeshwar
Grumeti
Raya Star

Never realised Cooldine was entered in the Cross Country race :strokechin:

there are 3/4 of mullins horses are there just because their owners want a runner at the festival. I remember 3 years back he had 35 runners and 1 winner (thousand stars), you can probably put cooldine into that category

Quevega also won that year didn’t she?

I suppose he’s almost guaranteed 3 winners (Fly, Quevega, Scotsirish) so deserves to be fav.
