DJP Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 You'll have to come and say hello on 13th March DJP, I'm going to be there for all four days Would love to go for all 4 days (My bank a/c wouldn't). Been a few times (as only live a stones throw from Cheltenham) but never on the gold cup day it's self, so looking forward to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkBlue62 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 All with this I have put on an equaly bad Win only accumulator.3.25 Kempton Wine N' Dine 3.55 Kempton Aeroplane 5.50 Wolverhampton Cape Express If Cape Express and Scamperdale both fail to win or place, Kayster, you can blame me. Only put £2 on it (£5 total stake for today) and this should return something over £30 so im happy. Pays for my trip to Parkhead on saturday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue4578 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 The silly thing is that I don't even like horse racing, but I'm going to catch up with a few people and enjoy the atmosphere. Free hospitality always helps too. Unfortunately I live almost an intercontinental missile strike away, so am at the mercy of hoteliers and their 300% price rises that week! I was there for Gold Cup day last year, it was excellent as Harry Findlay and Clive Smith, the owners of the two main contenders, were in the Betfair marquee chatting to people before and after the race. Some serious money was won and lost in there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rydo1982 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Had a shout for Silvanus in the opener at Great Leighs today but with its price its hardly a get rich quick effort. Anyone got anything worth doubling it with? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayster Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) Well "CAPE EXPRESS" covered my stakes for yesterday, so it turned out ok. Only looked through 1 race for today, due to a similair meeting taking place recently between these horses. In the 1:50 @ Southwell, "LA CAPRIOSA" & "HALAAK" both re-appear only 4 days after fighting out the finish @ this course on sunday. On that occasion "LA CAPRIOSA" came out on top, after "HALAAK" led up until the last furlong, but faded away at the end. I think "HALLAK" can reverse the form, due to the drop in trip to 5 furlongs, plus the fact that "Halaak" receives a 6lb's gain on "LA Capriosa". Halaak has not been tried over this distance, but the last run sugests it will suit. Has also ran at this course on its last 2 outing finishing 1st & 2nd on each occasion. Another to watch out for is "Readily", who is well weighted and only finshed a length behind "La Capriosa" last time they met. "HALAAK" to Win Reverse Forecast of "Halaak" & "Readily" Small stakes tri-cast on the above with "La Capriosa" to finish 3rd. I just think La Capriosa is weighted to heavily to take this one over a shorter distance. Edited January 8, 2009 by Kayster 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had La Capriosa, just because it was a big price and better for each way. its extra 6lb gave it no chance but still got 3rd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
