My Cheltenham picks(feel free to add your own)

[Carl]

Sport	Horse Racing
Event	2.00 Cheltenham
Selection	Denman
Strength	10/10
Date	15/03/2006
Bookmaker/Price	Bet365 @ 2.10 (Back)
Reasoning	this must surley be the Banker of the day. 5 wins from 5 starts he won Challow hurdle by 21 L's and that win is a clue to this race. Everything looks perfect for him today.

Sport	Horse Racing
Event	3.15 Cheltenham
Selection	Fota Island
Strength	5/10
Date	15/03/2006
Bookmaker/Price	Bet365 @ 5.50 (Back)
Reasoning	Im going to oppose the Fav Kauto Star as I think he's to young just yet and prone to mistakes. I think we have seen the best of Moscow Flyer and so Im going for APMcCoy aboard the IRE horse Fota Island who beat Central House LTO easy and not for the first time either.

Sport	Horse Racing
Event	4.40 Cheltenham
Selection	Mon Mome (Each-Way)
Strength	3/10
Date	15/03/2006
Bookmaker/Price	Ladbrokes @ 15.00 (Back)
Reasoning	Stat wise 7 year olds and horse carring 11 stone have a very poor record in this race. Mon Mome last 2 wins seen him stepped up in trip each time so I think this trip of just over 3 miles might just be in his grasp. Hes nicley weighted(7lb claimer) and at 6 year old he fits in well with the stats. Im sure Ventia Williams will have this just right toady.

Sport	Horse Racing
Event	5.20 Cheltenham
Selection	Ballytrim (Each-Way)
Strength	5/10
Date	15/03/2006
Bookmaker/Price	Bet365 @ 7.50 (Back)
Reasoning	Irish have reigned supreme winning 10 of the 13 renewals, a staggering five of which emanting from Willie Mullins' County Carlow stables. Mullins’ record in this contest is outstanding and he has a very strong hand once again. Ballytrim won LTO by 25ls in a maiden bumper and was pencilled in for this race on the back of that race.The main danger is the Ruby Walsh( hence the E/W bet) ride but for value Im going to oppose that and go for Ballytrim to storm up the hill.
