Cheltenham Festival

[Iana]

He literally runs a business where people invest hundreds of thousands of pounds and they stake it on bets for them, he's not going to give any information out.

He wasn’t asked for any info that would compromise him or his business just general questions about Cheltenham and the festival and he acted as if he had just been asked for his PIN to share with all the viewers.

Because he charges a fortune for information. They should have asked him about supporting Brighton he'd have been more forthcoming I suspect.

I know what he does and how he operates but a question along the likes of “how are you enjoying the festival” is not the hardest one to answer.

Just shows how hard it is to win 3 Gold Cups. I always thought Best Mate never got the praise he deserved for doing it. Be interesting to see if the winner goes for the National, because if he won that he would achieve immortality. I wouldn't put it past JP McManus to have a go.

Backed Best Mate first time he won it , my best man at my wedding had just passed away and got 13/2 for it, showed his son the list of runners that day and told him he might want to pick a horse out them ——he did — his dad was also his best mate.

Yeah, Corbett's Cross. Looked in distress when it fell, like. Confirmed on SSN website.

Got the last 3 winners and the first today finished the week up after a miserable week

Decent enough week for me.

18/1 winner, 80/1 place and the gold cup winner, along with a few decent each ways.

Like state man, I thought that horse was too good a price not to have a dabble on.

Kicking myself for not going on Bob olinger though.

Well up for the festival overall, although I was using a lot of free bets that I had activated and without them it would have been marginal profit which is still better than a lot of people.

Not many runners in the Gold cup no comparison to the Grand National in April fence & distance wise plus a bigger field of horses....
