  3. Re: Cheltenham Myths

    #2 The hill finds them out True or false? Sure, if there are chinks in your armour, the hill will find you out. However I do feel it's over played. The fear of the hill can sometimes be unfounded. For example there is a lot of rubbish spoken about Binocular not coming up the hill last year. That was NOT the reason he was undone in a finish. McCoy took it up on the bend and, although I make a case for 4yos running well in the race, it was perhaps a strep too far to expect him to maintain his run to the line against more phycially strong opponent like Captian Cee Bee. After all he came up the hill well enough to beat the other 20 runners! But this example, of taking it up too early, is not always a negative. From last year it seems it depends on the race... Where the winner took it up: Hurdles/Bumper (12 races) After the last - 4 Approaching the last - 2 Before two out - 2 Two out - 1 Three out -1 Made all - 1 Chases (13 races) Two out - 5 Three out - 2 Lead halfway approx -2 Approaching two out - 1 Last 1 Approaching last - 1 Made all 1 Over hurdles it seems there is still plenty to play for late on in the race with 67% of last hurdle leaders losing - not suprising considering the way hurdle races (especially handicaps) are run. Perhaps proving that Binocular's performance was even better than first thought? With chases however a massive 85% of leaders at the 2nd last going on to win. Shame I haven't the time to look at the years before so bear in mind this is a small sample obviously. Interesting reading for in-running players/savers all the same.
    For me, the hill will not be a problem for Binocular, only one horse came up the hill better last season, and that was the winner CCB, and we havent seen him since, so we dont really know just how good he is.

  5. Re: Staking plans for Cheltenham Well, Ive deliberately stayed out of this particular section of PL for just over a week (ok, I nicked a couple of glances here and there), as Ive been saving my Festival betting bank, and didnt want to eat into it. Lets say, Ive Mythical £100 total. 30% of that has already gone ante-post, leaving me with 70%. I plan on using 25% on tuesday, whatever races take the fancy on the day. Only 5% will be used on wednesday as I am busy with hospital appointments etc...and will only be able to get a couple bets on. Thursday and Friday will see the remaining 40% used, as I fancy less on those days as I do for tuesday. All bets made from here on in will almost certainly be win only, and I will not be adverse to backing anything up to 4 in a race, providing Im guaranteed at the very least to break even in the event of one of them winning. Ill do what I do every year, and that is 25% of the profit made (if any), from each day will be added to my betting bank.

  6. Re: Cheltenham Myths

    Well that's the thing, like I said, he could be better than shown, and obviously being Irish trained I do know less about him than some of his rivals. You're right, it's more a value thing. I really thought they'd be going 5/1 the field for this with the same field. We all seem in unison regarding Torpichen it seems. I need someone to lay me a top-6 finish bet.
    Just to add, a fit Hurricane Fly would have pissed it :lol
  7. Re: Cheltenham Myths

    Like you say the bumper never produces good horses. Monsignor the only one in recent years. Other than that we have Montelado who despite winning this, ended up a crock. They were decent years though, recently the Champion bumper has been a poor standard. Over hurdles he has achieved nothing - we know no more about him than we did last March. His two hurdle wins have come at 4/9 and 2/7, first of those he beat trees - the 2nd/3rd beaten a long way in maiden hurdles since, and the 2nd of those was also a poor race (obviously, he was 2/7 after all) - the 3rd was rated 100. Then he was going well when falling in the worst grade 1 hurdle you will find. Some of those grade 1 novices in Ireland are extremely uncompetitive. Of course that is not Cousin Vinny's fault - but the fact is he has not shown enough to warrant his price. He may be better than shown, so could hack up, but I don't know that - I can only go on facts, so therefore I'm opposing. walter - unfortunately you have to lay over 3/1 currently on betfair. :ok
    I understand what you are saying mate, as a pro punter you look for best value and Cousin Vinny isnt best value for what he seemingly has or gasnt achieved. In your opinion that is... Point taken, however Mullins is imo, always very honest about his horses as Ruby, Patrick and any other jockey associated with the stable are, and every one of them state Cousin Vinny as being something a bit special. Whether that will be shown in the supreme novices, I dont know. I for one though am willing to take the chance, and have already taken the chance, admittedly @ bigger odds than 2/1.
  8. Re: Cheltenham Myths

    Personally' date=' at 2/1 ish, [b']I think Cousin Vinny is one of the best value lays of the festival. (Torphicen will be my bet,) At 1/2 for the field, I think that's a terrific opportunity for layers.
    I cant understand why he is such a good value lay? Ok, hes untested over hurdles at Cheltenham but he does run well here having won the bumper here last season, admittedly the bumper doesnt produce many top class hurdlers but having won @ the track before, and will act on the ground if it happens to be soft, good/soft, or even good, then to me he represents a solid favourite 2/1 may seem short, but the way he travelled LTO suggested there is plenty more in the tank to come. Torphichen an obvious threat, but I just cannot see past Cousin Vinny Im afraid.
  9. Re: Wolverhampton tonight

    Unlucky Jono. Unless I'm mistaken this was a claimer 4-6 yo race so the handicap mark has no bearing. Please correct me if I'm wrong because I've never been totally sure. Cheers :ok
    As far as Im aware with claimers, the trainers weight their own horses??
  10. Re: Denman

    Does he stand any chance if the ground is not soft, mate? Looks like it will be good to soft at worst.
    He wouldnt be completely out of it if the race isnt on bottomless. Only takes a couple of the market leaders to run a bad race and he could very easily place.
