Re: Cheltenham 2016 (Long running competition)
Now that was Cheltenham! Yesterday was just the rain-sodden warmup act.
No splashing around in the mud today and we were treated to a brilliant RSA Chase with all three big boys going at each other. Then came a thrilling photo finish in the Coral Cup. Then one of the best racehorses ever wins in gritty fashion... then the star of the day romps home on the bridle. Jockey didn't even move on Tiger Roll and he now has 4 festival wins to go along with a Grand National. A modern great and I hope he can emulate Red Rum. I don't recall feeling this confident in a National runner ever before and he is as short as 5/1 antepost in places. Even the Champion Bumper was good with the top prospects finishing 1-2.
Red Kens Slave very unfortunate today with three seconds and two thirds including the big price Ballyandy!

Re: Cheltenham 2016 (Long running competition)
Good work Rich, thought I was gonna do you in the last, halfway up the run in. Can't moan at 2 winners, 2 2nd's and 2 3rd's, recovered yesterdays small loss.
With the exception of Paisley Park , tomorrow looks difficult.

Re: Cheltenham 2016 (Long running competition)
Top choices r99c for yesterday - 5 winners is bloody good going at any meeting but at Cheltenham Festival it is exceptional. After drawing a blank on Tuesday, I was happy with 2 wins and 2 places on a more punter-friendly days racing.

Re: Cheltenham 2016 (Long running competition)
Just a reminder to Aaronhammer, Bend It Like Repka, Carlokilkennie, Psychoscoredthelot and Twixy you have under an hour to get your selections in!
As per last year, any late entries if you just miss like the first and second race will automatically go on the favourite but missing the day altogether = 0 points
