    My run without a winner continues, so anyone wanting one to avoid in the next do not back Restless Harry
  • Nice little winner there ploughed the profit straight into Big Buck's at 4/7. Fingers crossed...!

    I knew it - told the Chelsea fan about it before going down the bookies and put a tenner on for him, then decided to go Peddlers bloody Cross.

    This is why I dont bet. grr.

    took advantage of the Paddy Power offer to new accounts, so have a few sheckles on Big Bucks @ guaranteed 2/1 and used their free matched bet for PM's tip Swing Bill e/w in the last race. Think you can still get the Big Bucks offer via the banner on oddschecker if of any interest.

    I am confident Big Bucks will do this, but with the form Henderson and Nicholls are in, if there's ever time to go against Big Bucks, now is it.

    What a horse Big Bucks is! I fell slightly into the 'doubters' category given Nicholls festival form so far, but he's done it again. He's a cash machine!!

    Delighted Big Bucks obliged, not least because none of Pipe's horses seem to be finishing their races............got a close eye (but no shillings) on favourite Salut Flo, up next.

    That mare seemed to be cruising a furlong out but he just stormed on again. Amazing.

    Despite all his success elsewhere AP has not really had good Cheltenhams since the heyday of his partnership with Martin Pipe in the late 90's.

    Indeed ... I am going to get a LOT of stick for saying that for AP, quantity overcomes real quality. For the past few years Geraghty and Walsh have been the choice of the top trainers and owners. J P McManus who must have paid a fortune to obtain AP's services is a real quantity over quality owner. The more you own, the more you can back and win .. or lose
