Cheltenham Festival Tipster Competition

[Nando]

Don't think Cue Card would have won regardless. Going well 3 out is nothing in the Gold Cup.

 

[Jinky]

Three winners today and about £80 up so can't complain too much with that as I'm not a huge racing fan.

 

[Mixu]

Thought Pendleton did an outstanding job for someone having only their third ride, would have been much easier for her just to let Pacha De Polder go, but she did well to keep him held up, and the jumping was faultless.

However, my highlight of the day has to be Bryan Cooper dedicating his win to Dessie Hughes, a very emotional moment. And he said "fucking unbelievable" live on mid-afternoon TV, what a great lad.

Unfortunately I was not able to do any tips today, but many thanks to Nando and Darlo for all their work. It is much appreciated.

 

[Nando]

Delighted for Nicholls to end up with three winners. He doesn't have the big guns at the moment but he's still an absolutely top notch trainer.

 

[Penk Wolf]

Thanks Darlo and Nando.

[Sniffer]

Congratulations to slink and a big thanks to Nando and Darlo for running the contest. I'd normally settle for breaking even with just a few bets in festival week but cheers to all those who posted the free bets etc that meant that not only did I post a healthy profit but had bets on all but two of my horses on here. Sods law that the two I didn't back came home but hey hoe.
