For those not aware, Betfair & Paddy Power have reduced their max payout from 250k to 50k on antepost bets.
Please be aware when placing any big antepost multiples..
Taking their punters for mugs, absolutely not acceptable.

6️⃣ Weeks today until the greatest show on turf begins!
CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL DAY 1.
Facile Vega
Constitution Hill
Jonbon
Treble pays just over 4/1 💥💸
Let’s start the week with a bang!
🐎🐎🐎
The Shishkin (Champion Chase) & Jonbon (Arkle) is 44/1 with Bet365.
That seems overpriced to me and I’d imagine by October it will be considerably shorter than that.
My first bet for 2024 is…
ALLEGORIE DE VASSY - Gold Cup 66/1
I think that Mares Chase form it TOP. Two elite animals and to my eye ADV got done for toe after the last.
She’s a big mare and will claim 7lbs from the geldings. Will be seen to best effect at 3miles.
💕🐎
I’ll be focusing on Cheltenham 2024 as soon as next week is done and dusted.
If you’re interesting in antepost betting then drop me a follow to keep up to date.
Early bird catches the worm.. 😅
These are my current winners for each Cheltenham race as below:
Day 1:
Supreme - Jet Powered 16/1
Arkle - Jonbon 9/2
Champion Hurdle Constitution Hill 11/8
Mares Hurdle - Brandy Love 6/1
NHC - GDM 9/2
Finishing work and with annual leave next week, Cheltenham has officially begun.. what a feeling! 🤩
11 months of punting all comes together for this one week.
Let’s all bash those bookies 💪🐎
Twitter, should I just cash the bet and chalk her off as a winner?
Logic - she’s a juvenile and they all improve at different rates. She’s currently 6/4, likely to be similar on the day & any rumours of injuries etc and cashout is gone.
What would you do?
STATE MAN (Champion Hurdle)
CONSTITUTION HILL (Arkle)
It’s very likely CH stays over hurdles but you can’t ignore the comments from the owner.
Currently 32/1 with PaddyPower & will certainly shorten if we get confirmation that CH goes chasing.
🐎🐎🐎
Last one from me:
Us racing fans seem to have short memories…
IMPAIRE ET PASSE can be backed at 20/1 for the Turners (2025).
Certainly worth chancing, he will be one of Willies top Novice Chasers next season & he will likely split Ballyburn & IEP up for that reason.
Give me one horse that looks overpriced in the current Cheltenham antepost markets, I’ll start…
IMAGINE - Turners
66/1 (40/1 NRNB) EW 3 places.
A race that is SURE to cut up.
Recent €320,000 purchase for Harry Derham who’s in fine form this season. A horse I was always a
Nicky Henderson:
“I gather people are getting excited about Facile Vega but I’d hope we’ll find something for the Supreme in our locker somewhere”
Fighting talk Nicky; I love it!!!!

‼️COMPETITION TIME ‼️
To celebrate reaching 5k followers I’ll be giving away one £50 freebet to be placed on any Cheltenham Antepost market..
To enter, simply follow the steps below:
1. Retweet this post.
2. Drop a follow.
Winner will be announced Friday 5PM.
Good luck!
James’ Gate in the Ballymore is currently my biggest potential winner of the 2023 festival.
Returning me 165pts.
Rare we have a confirmed target this far out but this one is pretty concrete!
Three horses to have a couple of quid on Each Way that I think will give you a good run for your money:
Tuesday 2:50 - Lord Accord 16/1
Wednesday 4:50 - Grey Diamond 20/1 (NRNB)
Friday 2:10 - Glory & Fortune 40/1
🐎🐎🐎
Also, Firefox in the Supreme is a must bet if making a book IMO.
He’s 25/1 and likely to be Gordon’s best for the race. Will be shorter on the day as excuses for the last run.
It’s such a poor market, 25/1 looks big! (He beat Ballyburn…)
🐎🐎🐎
My first blog is all about horses to follow throughout the season and where they will likely turn up at the Cheltenham Festival 2022. Feedback welcomed and RT’s appreciated. 🐎
5️⃣ weeks until the Cheltenham festival! It’s getting closer boys and girls… 👀
Delta Work (XC) & Gaillard du Mesnil (NHC) can be backed at just over 5/1.
Two bankers? 💥
🐎🐎🐎
Just a reminder… on GERRI COLOMBE’s first run of the season against race fit rivals he beat:
2023 RyanAir winner
2022 Savills Chase winner
2021 Gold Cup winner
All at his first attempt in open company.
What a star! 🌟 🐎 🏆
@RacingTV
Some strange results yesterday but I don’t think Editeur Du Gite was a fluke. Very gritty performance.
Comfort Zone confirms that the British Juveniles are rubbish.
Ahoy Senor becomes a lively Gold Cup contender.
DELTA WORK becomes THE Cheltenham Banker 💥
🐎🐎🐎
I really think the 100/1 on THE REAL WHACKER to win the King George & Gold Cup is worth chancing with William Hill..
He’s an RSA winner for Christ sake!!
Seems big to me. I’ve had a small nibble.
🐎🐎🐎
Bet365 are 25/1 on Klassical Dream for the 2023 Stayers.
Odd to see the hold up tactics used on him last week.
That price is just way too big for a horse with as much class as himself.
I’d imagine he will go close at Punchestown (if that’s where they go) and half in price👍🏻
Worth chancing at a large price IMO, didn’t mind his run in the Supreme given his inexperience.
Great jumper of a hurdle too, would love to see him over a fence.
🐎🐎💚
LOSSIEMOUTH - Triumph
JONBON - Arkle
CHAPEAU DE SOLEIL - Bumper
DELTA WORK - Cross Country
Boring, in this game for winners though!
Comment on the original post your Lucky 31!
🤝🐎
If you had a Lucky 15 for the Cheltenham Festival at this moment in time who are your 4 Horses 🏇
I’ll go first (Craig!)
Brandy Love - Mares
Delta Work - X-Country
Luccia - Mares Novice Hurdle
Jazzy Matty - Boodles
Comment yours below 👇🏻
How on earth is SALVADOR ZIGGY still 14/1 NRNB for the Pertemps.
Form ties in with current Stayers favourite and got an English mark of 145.
My first bet in the Pertemps ✅
🐎🐎🐎
A count up this morning shows the below:
181pts staked
644pts returned
+463pts for the week.
Very pleased with how the week has gone considering we’ve had huge blows to Constitution Hill, Marine Nationale etc.
Time for some relaxing 🫡
👍🏻🐎
EMBASSY GARDENS was mega impressive today. That 9/1 for the Albert Bartlett looks good to me.
Also, Allegorie De Vassy has so much talent. For me, the only thing that can beat her in the Mares Chase is herself.
Such an engine!!
Take the 9/1 about GINNY’s DESTINY for the Turners.
A very murky race, he’s guaranteed to run here & won’t be out the places.
Fantastic run at the weekend!
Lots of no shows in that market.
I’d be taking Gaelic on all day at that price, Cheltenham isn’t his track.
🐎🐎🐎
GAELIC WARRIOR - BALLYMORE 14/1.
It looks a poor market currently, I’m really hoping he can be the one to spark it to life.
Mullins named dropped the race straight after the Boodles this year and Ruby gave him as his horse to follow for this season.
🤞🏼💕
