Cheltenham ante post register

Yeah my concern with 1000* is that it was reported last week at the Tipperary Festival Preview that Shark Hanlon's mole in the Mullins yard said that he's 'gone sour' in recent weeks. His run at Leopardstown backs that up IMO, even Ruby Walsh said he didn't pick up again like he usually does.

Fair enough - i suspect i'll keep my powder dry until Festival week now what with other commitments.
Having said that a good weekend this one coming and a filling of the coffers, will tempt me to look for some decent Festival bets come this Sunday i suspect!

Good shout Zark re. Galaxy Rock, he's on my radar for this, or The Kim Muir. My idea of a definite plot horse. GL

Not entered for either. National-bound or injured.

Sorry I jinxed it Zark, would def have been my horse for Kim Muir.

My ante-post losers as follows:

Grandouet 2pts
Recession Proof 2pts each way

I also have 3pts each way on Fingal Bay. If SDC goes for the RSA then I'll be crying into my pillow come Festival time.

I also have less than tasty prices about Hinterland, Prospect Wells, Hazy Tom and some other boat who's name escapes me at this minute.

Ok well I've just done my absolute mug punter EW 6-Fold for this year. 5 of them I think are nailed on for a place. The other I'm very confident about.

Hurricane Fly, Quevega, Al Ferof, Big Zeb, Grumeti and Solix.

5pt EW 6-Fold NRNB

I've also done

Quevega & Buena Vista (Pertemps) 26/1 4pts double

Decided I am avoiding all the handicap hurdles this year. had a look back through the years and I have the most appalling record in them. Novcie races are my strong point. best to just up investment in these fields.

Had my latest and last bets before the Festival this eve, as off to sunnier climes later in the week, until Champ Hurd day.

Synchronised at 14s in the Gold Cup
Shadow Catcher at 20s in the Triumph
Cross Kennon e/w at 100s in the World Hurdle

All NRNB

Have got 21.5 pts of losing ante-post vouchers so far. Decided to look into what my current bets are worth to see if ante-post betting was worth it.

Have checked the vast majority of bets - some of them are EW accas that it's not worth checking, some of them don't have markets open anymore to check their worth. 257.4 pts staked, at the current prices would have to stake 709.6 pts.

So yes, it was worth it

So yes, it was worth it

Went through everything in more detail & precision.

50pts of bets are uncheckable / pointless checking, either down to markets being closed or being huge EW accas.

I've also now checked every single bet that involves a Festival runner in my portfolio.

212.2 pts staked
Now worth 546 pts

One of the bets that can't be checked is worth considerably more now than when placed, but can't get a price for the 3rd part of the treble so impossible to check.

If I calculate the returns using the prices available and the price at the time, I staked 10pts and it's now worth 28.3pts.
