Not had a bet this festival yet, but been paid today so having a small flutter.

Allowed myself £20 so have gone for

Master of Arts
Sunnyhillboy
Cape Tribulation
Kauto Star

£1 Lucky 15 + £2.50 e/w accumulator.

Hopefully I will win some betting money for Ladies Day at Aintree.

Looking forward to todays Gold Cup.

Just can't get away from the feeling that Denman can't win and that Kauto Star is rank bad value. Neptune Collonges (another from the Nicholls stable) each-way might be the play.

Cape Tribulation (Malcolm Jefferson) has a fine chance in the 3 mile Novice Hurdle.

: Fri Mar 13, 2009 8:18 am  

Triumph Hurdle - Zaynar

County Hurdle - Aachen

Albert Bartlett Novices - Cape Tribulation

Gold Cup - ???? will probably leave this alone, though Roll Along looks overpriced to me. Small place interest perhaps.

Foxhunters - Limerick Boy

Conditionals Hurdle - Mamlook

Grand Annual - My Petra

Good luck everyone.

I've had a fair bit on Sky Hall now, c'mon Carney lad, don't let me down.

I've backed Sesenta in the race too (2nd to Quevega last time out). Currently 33's with Hills.

I really can't make my mind up about Denman.

On one hand, is he fully recovered and back to anywhere near his best ?

On the other, if you took out Madison Du Burlais from his last run then he beat a lot of good horses by a distance on his first run for 11 months. You would expect him to have improved for that run.

At his current price of 6/1 he could well turn out to be the bargain bet of the century.

But.......
