Winds have calmed a little,so day 2 is on!!

Tough day at the office today!With that rain in the morning before the 1st changed the track conditions quite a lot. Both ante-post beaten today,but rallied in the last two races with some smaller eachway savers on A Plus Tard in the Novice Chase and because of the ground covered my ante-post with e/w on my 2nd and 3rd selections. So managed to pull myself out of the hole with a small profit. Nice selecting in the Supreme Hurdle Chestnut and punt landed by Flagship?. Bookies up after day one (not you NZ TAB,real bookies)The Champion Hurdle would have them in profit for the whole festival!! High winds forecast for tomorrow, so racing to be declared at 8am GMT Cheers

With a soft track at Cheltenham day one, there could be some value so let's put a few out there everyone. Vintage Clouds Jester Jet Solomn Grundy Whisperinthebreeze

Of course Chestnut, everyone is welcome.It will be a great week win or lose!

One of the best punting weeks of the year has finally arrived ??!! Weather not the best today and day one will be running on a soft track and wind. Thought I would put up a few selection's this week to fight our way through the minefield!! R1 Supreme Hurdle: Love this opening race of the festival and last year snagged a nice 1/2 point (one for barryb)e/w ante post on Summerville Boy 14/1 .

I'm getting twitchy Thomo! !

"50 clicks",maybe a new syndicate horse for the Yarners!!or could be "60 clicks"!!

Reefton, How or could it work if the coast clubs that are in the "firing line" went on-course only to keep the strongly supported circuit going?Would it be a consideration if you did get axed?

Thomo, does this mean you will be landing at Heathrow in the near future?

SC R6 #15 @$23 Come in Weasel?

Have a man on the ground if needed Chestnut! ?

It will be interesting to see how the Melbourne yearling sale starting on the 3rd March goes.Generally it is a reasonably strong sale.Those Victorians always seem to have money in their pockets!!

Queensland, NSW and Victoria have their own sites,which seems to be the only way to watch replays for free.

3x $3 winners = $9 which is value in your world barryb!!That also depends on how many "points"were layed down,but I would take that all day long!!??

Leafy Surrey Flagship Kempton Park Boxing Day a great day out indeed! Sandown Park,Epsom ,Lingfield and Kempton Park all easy commutes.

I'm down in what the northerners call a"southern softie" county.?From what I've seen on different courses, it's a 50/50 split of substance abuse and alcohol.

Currie selling on horses knowing they had bleed in training without any notification to the authorities. Will the new owners of these horses be asking for their money back? Snake with a capital S!!

Don't take it seriously Weasel, we are only playing with "monopoly money"$1ew?

A number of Yarners like to throw in a few roughies each week!Let's see if we can nail some starting today. I will start at Gold Coast R3 Winkler ( EW currently 50/1)?
