Agree with comments that this years Gold Cup field isn't as strong as previous, especially compared to last year where we had Imperial Commander, Kauto Star and Denman in the race. I do quite like this years entries though, alot of decent runners with the potential to be great.

Liking Grands Crus, Burton Port and Quel Esprit at the moment.

just hoping if i have an outright bet on the gold cup i get a run for my money, for the past two years that hasnt happened. 2010 kauto went a cropper and last year imperial commander broke a blood vessel while still looking full of running.

Re: Cheltenham 2012 : Sat Mar 03, 2012 5:45 pm  

Kauto Star is looking more likely to run now after an encouraging session at the yard.

Sad to hear of Harry Redknapp's horse Bygones of Brid being put down yesterday after a fall at Taunton.

Took 20s on Baby Mix for the Triumph about an hour before he won the Adonis t'other week, have since had a punt on Grumeti aswell.
Quevega, Big Bucks, Hurricane Fly & Sprinter Sacre in a mixture of doubles, trebles and fourfolds although I wouldn't back Sprinter Sacre now he's as short as Evens. Flattened out coming up the hill last year and the Arkle is a tough race.
Also hoping Grands Crus' owners decide to take their chance in the Gold Cup as I've backed Invictus ante-post for the RSA. If Grands Crus does go for the Gold Cup I'll definitely be topping up on that one.

Looks like Starluck is going for the
County Hurdle after being dropped to
a mark of 150 when needing the run
last time.
Didn't go right over fences but before
that had come 5th in a Champion
Hurdle and ran to 160 twice last
season before going chasing.
25/1 NRNB looks more then fair.

Hills going 5/4 on Hurricane Fly tomorrow from 8.30am
Don't know how long it will last or how much they're willing to lay - guess there's only one way to find out!
