[Paul]

What a race!

The racing has been unreal this week.

Huge credit to Paul after Monday - mega.

Don't know what I did, but.......you're welcome ?

 

[Nando]

Had one JP handicap hurdle fav this week - the one that jumped like a fridge in the last. Love it.

Took insurance on Column of Fire who crashes at the last when about to bolt up.

Would have been a catastrophic loss without the ante post on Burning Victory.

Goshen and Column of Fire just summed today up. Lostintranslation ran a magnificent race though in a top class gold cup.

[The Bear]

Thanks Nando, enjoyable as always.

So my figure is just money back not profit. Based on the £560 stakes for the week that puts me over £300 down!

 

[Nando]

Yeh, only three of the forum making any profit for the week!

I've added another column on the total sheet to reflect stakes - inc for those who didn't tip each day for a fairer reflection.

 

[astoria67]

Thanks Nando,enjoyable.

 

[Trips]

Nice one Nando

 

[BillyDee]

Cheers Nando, bit of a tight one. Just kept me head above water IRL...

 

[Donegal Wolf]

Thanks for that Nando, enjoyable even if it was worst Cheltenham that I ever had.

 

[arklowolf]

Thanks Nando. Someone has to come last!
Strangely I've been doing pretty well with horses running elsewhere in my 'tracker' lately.

 

[SSB]

Cheers two good days followed by two awful for me.

 

[Sniffer]

An enjoyable few days. Thanks for running this Nando and well done to Billy for retaining his title.

 

[darlowolf64]

Cheers Nando. Annoyed that I missed the final day but I had a really shitty night shift Thursday and a busy Friday morning!
