Cheltenham 2025

The KDB/Majborough/Constitution Hill treble should get punters off to a nice start. Can't back Lossiemouth at 4/6 though, Jade De Grugy was 15/8 on Sky this morning without the favourite which looks value to me.
 
Antepost nightmare for me

Done my fucking bollocks on Lossiemouth
Compounded the error by backing Golden Ace for the mares on Friday
Had Kopek des Bordes at 20/1 for the fucking Turners
Had Sir Gino (best novice chaser I've seen since Galopin) for the Arkle at a nice price. Injured and misses the festival.
Got the Yellow Clay for the Bartlett and his daft fat headed trainer is gonna run it in the Turners.

Chasing before it's even fucking started and the annoying thing is I don't think I made a single bad bet (I backed Lossiemouth ages ago before CH proved his fitness)

That's rotten luck. These trainers need lashing for entering into multiple races . The bookies must love em. Twisting bastards!

Not sure the treble will hold up Nevizade, but Jade De Grugy at 15/8 without Lossiemouth looks tasty.

Madness how they can say one thing for 2 years then change tack 2 days before in a sport that revolves around betting. I don't think any mare that's won a grade 1 in open company should be allowed to run in that race. Pocket talk of course but it rubbed me up the wrong way.

It's just wrong! You did some great punting there,finding top horses early on. Then some lying bastard changes it last minute. They don't half talk a load of bollocks. Should be stopped. I backed Lossiemouth in another race at 14s about October time and that got pulled out for today's race last week.
 
The only way you win on ante post Non Runner no bet. Some places open up that market ante post as they have horses in so many races. Don't forget some owners have a lot of runners going. How many horses has JP McManus got in some races same with Michael O Leary and the Gigginstown horses. It's so hard to pick.

Brighterdaysahead to beat Constitution Hill in the big race for the Champion Hurdle won the last race by 30 lengths in a hurdle race grade 1 is rarely seen.
 
I've had a Bet 365 account for about 15 years and they're the only ones that I bet with, yet I can never see the Bet Boost offers available to me.

I think you've got it all wrong here Lightbowne Cowboy.

Unfortunately for you, trainers are not in the job to accommodate your preferences, their priority is for the horse and owners. They pay the bills, you don't.
You chose to take advantage of prices ante-post and those attractive prices come with increased risk.

There has been a lot of discussion on Lossiemouth running in the Mares race and not the Champion Hurdle.

If you owned the horse, would you choose the option of winning a Grade 1 as a strong favourite, or being up against the odds in another Grade 1 carrying greater prestige, where your expectations are more place than win? I suspect if that was your position, you'd choose the former.

If blame is going to be cast, then it's on Cheltenham, not the owners and trainers.

Their greed has made the festival a four day event (they even pushed for five at one point), which has diluted the quality of races and has opened up many more options for trainers with top class horses to reap rewards while avoiding each other. Now we are offered many more Grade 1 races led by a heavy odds on favourite. It's nice to see these quality horses, but not from a betting perspective.
They've pushed up prices, jammed more people in and this year they are finding attendances dropping. It's not just the ticket prices they should consider, travelling, parking, food and drink, possibly accommodation all add to the day or week.

The genuine racing people have been gradually staying away for years and if now the cokeheads and twats are as well, then Cheltenham have only themselves to blame. There comes a point where people question value for money.

Don't blame the trainers, blame Cheltenham.
