BEST of the BETS

Forecast looks good from here on. Could be Good-soft, soft in places.

Hope you're right. My pick aussi.

After Cheltenham last year, RP recommended bets for this year's meeting. I put on £3 bets on them all (£39) and have had nothing back so far....had £3 Frodon at 16/1 and £3 A Plus Tard at 20/1 for the Ryanair but they got stuffed today.
So the last two run in the Gold Cup :

£3 Delta Work @ 27/1
£3 Lostintranslation 36/1

8/1 Clan Des Obeaux.

Lots of people putting a line through it because they think its not a Cheltenham horse or it wont stay up the hill. They may be right but you cant lay it at that price surely.

Pumpkin Head was very bullish about Clan on the morning line. Reckons it's a stronger horse than last year. Given the way it won the King George this year, I'd agree it probably is an even better horse.

Have win double with Goshen at 7/2 in the Triumph. Goshen my nap of the meeting.

very difficult race,i think cdo form in king george maybe flattering,think cyrname was already having problems then even before its last race.im going with alboom photo.

Gutted over Goshen. Cost me a fortune.

I think this is Clan Des Obeaux at his absolute peak. If he is to win a Gold Cup, it has to be this year.

CDO is not a Gold Cup horse. That ends that argument.

Its great when you get a proper finish with all the main contenders battling out. Great spectacle.

Good call scrivs, hopefully back next year for the hat-trick bid.

Thanks mate,been a good day.need billaway in the next for a very good day.

Well Oli bell is better than me not ::roll: didn't see the race but me mates asked how much I had on Al boum photo.fell about laughing when I told I left it out :rage: still that going must have been really soft as the time of the race was very slow for a gold cup. Mullins mob have had a great day.

Thy didnt go quick early. The tactics on CDO were to hold him up, but that only works if the pace is strong. In hindsight he might have done a lot better sitting just behind the leader.

Looking at it your probably right mugz my view is it was a sub standard gold cup and this bunch aren't anywhere near horses from previous years other folk will have a very different opinion but times don't lie and the proof is in the pudding.kauto star would have beat these no bother.:up:

I agree, it wasnt a star studded line up.
