The Greatest Show on Turf - Cheltenham festival 2024

Odds are drifting on the 2 front runners slightly so this offer now has less utility. Not as good as the first 2 days' boosts by a long shot.

Betmgm have been the best bookie the festival, especially the daily 100% odds boost on a 20 quid stake.
 
Something feels a bit soulless about Mullins pretty much dominating every race, is it always like this?
Mullins is a class act and sets the standard. Very similar to MCFC , he gets shit for being exceptionally good at what he does the same as we do at MCFC. Success brings haters and sour grapes.

Exactly, he's a genius. Nicholls and Henderson have plenty of expensive horses themselves.
 
Willie Mullins horses appear to run on their merits, unlike Ballydoyle, but there is not the commercial breeding machine behind it.

I haven't been to the Festival for years, but from what I hear and can see on the TV, it's a shadow of what it used to be.
The biggest mistake was extending it to four days and therefore diluting the races.

It seems like more and more people I know are not attending these days, and they are dedicated 'racing people'.

It's not so much the Mullins name that I find the issue, it's more the Mullins heavy odds-on favourites in the Championship races. I know there is always the possibility of an 'El Fabiolo' result, but it doesn't happen very often.

I know it's great to see these quality horses racing, but if there isn't any competition then it certainly diminishes the spectacle.

For instance, in days gone by, Lossiemouth would have been in the Champion Hurdle and what a race that would have been and there are numerous similar examples.

The first couple of days have been really predictable but today and tomorrow are more competitive and I would imagine the bookies will recoup their money. The extra day definitely dilutes the quality of the festival and everyone is chasing money. Have done a lot of work at the racecourse over the years connecting the phone lines to the tote and tented village and it’s one of my favourite courses
 
Fucksake as if seeing your 25-1 shot (kyntara) pipped at the post isn't bad enough, it got beat by bacon faces horse
Yup, I had that horse in a single and some E/w doubles, that rag made losing even worse and then the **** has the next as well, fucking hell.
