[cite]Posted By: uncle[/cite]Only one horse going to win the gold cup and thats imperial commander, and thats practically from the horses mouth. No great price so put the one you fancy in a forecast with it. I actually fancy Denman to come in second, but dont doubt who the winner will be.
Lot of talk on the radio tonight about Long Run. I'll be on him.
Sizing Europe for QM. Check out the record of Arkle winners in this race.
As I said earlier. Everyone do yourself a favour and check the stats for the success of short priced favourites at Cheltenham festival. Don't get sucked in.
Just for you Chirpy (and anyone else foolish enough to be interested in my selections):
1.30 Magen's Star
2.05 Finians Rainbow
2.40 Wolf Moon
3.20 Peddlers cross
4.00 I'll pass on this "novelty" race if that's OK but I think it's probably Nina's turn again to win it
4.40 Sparky May
5.15 Definity
SUPREME NOVICES HURDLE
Nicky Henderson last won this race in 1992. He’s had 13 runners without success in the last 11 years alone.
It’s not looking good for Gibb River, Spirit Sonor Sprinter Sacre
THE ARKLE
That man again. Nicky Henderson has not won a Chase race at the Festival since 2006.
Finians Rainbow in the Arkle anyone?
SPINAL RESEARCH HANDICAP
No winner has carried more than 11-00 to victory since before 1999.
The favourite Great Endeavour is set to carry 11-07
No 11yo or over has even made the frame in this race in the last 11 years.
Last years winner Chief Dan George is an 11yo set to carry 11-07.
CHAMPION HURDLE
In the Champion Hurdle, only 1 of the last 25 winners had not raced that Calendar year. Since 1985 the number of days between the winners last run and the Champion Hurdle reads: 15-38-11-22-19-11-24-78-10-19-50-31-51-51-51-19-38-31-31-44-45-24-24-38
Still fancy Menorah who last ran 94 days ago?
Montjeu has never sired a winner of a Cheltenham Festival race despite having had 44 runners.
The bad news? Hurricane Fly is a son of the enigmatic French racehorse.
CROSS COUNTRY HANDICAP
UK trained runners are 0 winners from 50 runners in this race. Paul Nicholls is 0-12. In the last 10 years at the Festival (more than 260 races) only 6 horses won at the meeting having fallen or unseated rider on their previous start. The last 21 winners over this specialist course had previously contested a cross country race.
Gullible Gordon must be the lay of the century….

That's because he offered to return all losing bets if cue card won.

Reve de Saviola
Kyhber Kim e/w
I have picked out 4 I fancy at Cheltenham today:
13:30 Cue Card NAP
14:05 Ghizao
15:20 Hurricane Fly
16:40 Quevega
Just small stakes for me & sit back & watch the action
Well done Chirpy and there's a few places on here as well with Spirit Son and Sprinter Sacre
That's because he offered to return all losing bets if cue card won.
Not only has all the money staked on Cue Card gone, he also won't be laying out any refunds!
I've now got a 5th when top 4 pays and a 4th where top 3 pays... you can tell which way this day is going!
