Handicaps at Cheltenham are a nightmare. Best avoid them like the plague.

Had the first two come up (after my indecision overnight I banged a 50 on the nose for Champagne) but pegged back on the Monkey.

Best start at Cheltenham ever for me, but I will end up in the same place on Friday!

Gravesend_Addick

Well that's gonna cost Paddy Power a few quid!!

CAFCsayer

Anyone been refunded by Paddy yet?

Addickforlife

What a ride from Ruby on Quevega

Gravesend_Addick

What a horse, what a jockey!!

CAFCsayer

Was close to having 100 sheets on it... Half glad I didn't, wouldve had a heart attack before I collected my winnings

ISawLeaburnScore

Great stuff.

Carlito next, I remember him tanking home at large odds in this one two years ago, it saved my Day 1!

I'm very sweet on Sir Des Champs

Has any horse ever won 3 different races at consecutive Festivals?

Flying Bolt maybe.

Starinnaddick

He won Gloucester Hurdle 1964
Champion Novice 1965
Champion Chase 1966
Nothing else has done it.

Cheers Chief. Good work..............and I thought I was a statto ;o)

Starinnaddick

Looking at my old form books Flyingbolt must have been really special.
After winning the Champion Chase ,the next day he was only beaten 3 lengths in the Champion Hurdle.
