Whilst like Moscow Flyer, he is getting on a bit now, he hasnt shown any proper signs of a rapid decline. His run behind Inglis Drever was perfectly respectable as it was his seasonal debut and more than likely lacking a bit of fitness. I've looked at the race and it doesnt look all that to me. The only alternative thats tempted me is Patriarch Express and he's hardly a solid selection with his injury problems. Baracouda has nothing to prove and HAS to be in the frame for this.

Same distance today except over the Chase course. He has a nice weight and although he hasnt looked top drawer over fences, he has looked good and has been the subject of favourable reports from the stable too. His previous form over fences has been at shorter trips and i think the step up tomorrow will help him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A high class hurdler and winner of the Cleeve Hurdle 2 years ago, he is a course and distance winner who has come back well from injury with 2 creditable performances this year.

Aykay1 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Re: Thursday Festival bets SportHorse Racing Event235 Cheltenham SelectionOur Vic (Each-Way) Strength10/10 Date16/03/2006 Bookmaker/PriceStan James @ 4.50 (Back) ReasoningOur Vic over his optimum trip is a fearsome prospect. He had a wobbly spell after his appearance here last year and you are gambling on him being over that dodgy spell. The signs were good enough for me last time. They were considering the Gold Cup for this horse which shows the high regard in which they hold it. The same could be said about IMPEK, who also had a GC entry until recently. I would give Our Vic the slight edge over Impek, as the latter will prbably have the unenviable task of leading start to finish if recent tactics are anything to go by.

BillyHills Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Re: Thursday Festival bets Just one for me today, in the first James Fanshaw and AP team up with an improving type in Reveillez. Got beat by Billyvodden at Leicester and the did cartwheels against weak opposition last time to get some confidence. Rated 124 over hurdles, got bags of potential so could be well in here. Backing it EW so if its in the first 4 i'll get my money back. Will like the ground and jumps well against some iffy opponents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambobo won here infact his only win in the UK here at 2mile4. If he stays the 3 mile he will be in the shake up near the finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowgli77 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Re: Thursday Festival bets Well done Billy. Might have been short price but its still a winner. Le Volfoni was travelling really sweetly before it fell, would have been in with a chance otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRat Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Re: Thursday Festival bets Annoyed about La Volfoni - was doing well Just took out a bet on Barracouda in 15:15 as well on top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowles10 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Re: Thursday Festival bets nice one billy, Demi Beau set such a pace it had to be a young horse with potential that was going to be able to keep up with it, all the others were so outpaced. 10 secs faster than last year!

mowgli77 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Re: Thursday Festival bets This 2.35 race is very tricky. So many question marks. Looks to be between Our Vic, Impek and Fondmort but so hard to narrow it down. Might be better doing a forecast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowles10 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Re: Thursday Festival bets look out for My Will, has to be respected after being placed in decent races all season. I think could end up being a Gold Cup contender in 2 yrs time!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowgli77 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Re: Thursday Festival bets I backed My Will at Wetherby and it let me down. It was poor that day but maybe not today. I think the value is with Hi Cloy and trainer said the quicker the pace the better. Backed in from 10's to 8's. Some shrewd Irish punters I think.

mowgli77 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Re: Thursday Festival bets Great display of jockeying by Fitzgerald. Gave it a great ride. That horse really does like Cheltenham. Didn't think it would get past Impek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
