"Missed all the odds-against about Hurricane Fly? Not with us! From tomorrow 8:30am we'll be offering 5-4 about his Champion Hurdle chances!"

cheers, will have a look at that before i go out in the morning.

just had a look at her twitter, and if anyone fancies a big bet then don't bother, they arent going to lay the 5/4 for big money.

i fear binocular in that race more than anything, if he can perform like he did in 2010 then it will be a hell of a race.

Binocular is a funny one, rarely produces his best in consecutive races. I don't think that anything outside the top two in the market can win it barring a freak accident, and if Hurricane Fly is spot on then he can't be beaten, regardless of how well Binocular runs.

we'll soon see, i know he didnt win a vintage champion in 2010, but if on form shouldnt be far away.

on official ratings, both binocular and hurricane were raised to official ratings of 172 following the race. hurricane now rated 173 and binocular 170. so will need to bounce back to his best and some more if the fly comes on from his seasonal debut.

had a nice win on him last year so dont think i'll be deserting him this year.

Mullins big hopes been weak in the market today, Fly, Quevega and Scotsirish all been on the drift a little and Quevega was apparently matched at 2.5 on Betfair - don't know how true back into 1.6'ish now.

Perhaps something to do with Mullins not giving them the post-race gallop at Leapordstown? Hopefull it's nothing as i've a fair bit riding on The Fly/Quevega! Got a free bet with Hills so going to have a look over the week for some bigger priced ones. Quite like Nearest the Pin in the Hanidcap chase on the Tuesday, been held in high regard with entries in the Arkle and if he gets the good ground he wants he seems to be the unexposed type who could go close in this.

im hoping its insignificant too, ive got hf and quevega in a few of my multiples as well.

Every man and his dog has got the Fly/Quevega double by the sounds of it! Bookies will have a field day if one gets turned over. A bit wary that they haven't given Quevega a run, but she's comfortably the best in the field and with Unaccompanied out if she runs she probably won't even have to be at her best to win it.

They never run the Queen Cheltenham now, same 2 races again.

Top up on the Fly and also the Quevega double at 8.30am

Snap.
Anyone any idea what the max bet they're allowing on HF is?

Re: Cheltenham 2012 : Mon Mar 05, 2012 10:45 am  

Ton each

Know a few are doing it online then heading to the shop for another ton

Re: Cheltenham 2012 : Mon Mar 05, 2012 11:25 am  

Had 15 quid on, can't afford to go too extravagant with Chelt bets this year, because if they go t*ts up I won't have enough to have a good day at Aintree next month.

Got singles on HF, Quevega and Big Buck's as well as a variety of aforementioned multiples.
