    Should I have gone to specsavers or didn't the photo finish pic show Glencoe nose touch the line first ?

    One head was up and the other was down, that's why it looks like that I think

    Delta at 12's pretty much guarantees profit for the week, first time for everything.

    Appalling ride from Johnson on Louis Vac Pouch. Ran like a rank outsider rather than a tipped, 4th-favourite. Very suspicious.

    What a load of rubbish. Do you think that just because he's a fancied horse he should have been ridden near the front?

    confusing as the two heads almost blend into one.

    bit of an optical illusion makes you think the down head is the nearer horse

    Never gave the horse a chance, did he? Watch it back and I think you'll see what I mean. It was never going to be close, let alone win, by falling so far behind quality competition. Bit like giving teams a 2-0 lead. Schoolboy error in my humble, punter's opinion but then maybe you are an expert.

    Backed Delta Work because I used to work at Delta Cables.

    Thanks Steve and Cafc 95, i think your right on the optical illusion. Just heard on TV that other folk thought the same as me.

    He has won his races by being held up at the back. If you watch it back you'll see that he makes a bad mistake at the second last. Possibly wouldn't have made a difference though, as probably just not good enough.
    Think that you're just talking through your pocket.

    3rd when only 1 and 2 count!

    Slight consolation is that it was a freebie which I'd temporarily forgotten when I originally posted.

    It's just occurred to me why he's looking so smug - it's all a tax dodge. Ryanair sponsor the race (which is tax deductible) and then the prize money goes straight into his back pocket!

    Agreed. Also concur on Michael O'Leary. Horrible man.

    Had a tip for Penhill in the 1530. Won at the track before. In form. Underexposed. Whatever that means.

    What a shout! Would never have called that given how long a break he had.

    Had Penhill in my L15 but £20 on Supersundae to win which is annoying

    It's little wonder that the Irish jockeys dominate Cheltenham especially when you see that the likes of Nicky Henderson's number one, Nico de Boinville, has only one ride on the day - at Towcester in a Mares Novice Hurdle!

    Which he won.
