CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL 2017.
This is my ANTE-POST Blog on this years festival.
As many of you know one of my passions is National Hunt Racing.,Really enjoy a flutter ,I have been betting for nearly 40 Years,
I follow one simple rule .Only bet what you can afford to lose.When the fun stops STOP.
CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL Is a fantastic feast of National Hunt Racing over 4 days.Starting Tuesday 14th March till Friday 17th March.
During the year from about Christmas I start having some fun bets called ANTE-POST.To try and beat the bookies getting BIG Prices on horses leading up to the festival.Ive had some that have pulled out under Ante-post rules yes have lost some bets.
But this year I do have a handful of some good Ante-Post bets that will run.
In December,Before Christmas I caught my favourite Jockey Dicky Johnson talking about a horse call NATIVE RIVER ,A horse that has already won a big handicap race early in the year.Dicky spoke highly of the horse expected NATIVE RIVER To go close in the Welsh National then onto the CHELTENHAM GOLD CUP ,The feature race at the festival (Run on the Friday).
Skybet offered 50/1 for NATIVE RIVER To win both races ,and 20/1 for the Gold Cup. I took both prices .Pleased to say Native won the Welsh National .The price has come tumbling down ,With the absent of THISTLECRACK , NATIVE RIVER Is now top of the market at only 3/1.
So my 50/1 &. 20/1 looking Good.
other Horses I have done well on at ANTE-POST.
TUESDAY,
NEON WOLF 10/1. Now only 5/1. Non-runner no bet. Now running Wednesday .
WEDNESDAY,
DEATH DUTY. 16/1 e/w. Now only. 5/1

1st Race 1.30 Tuesday.
SUPREME NOVICES HURDLE.
My £50 on the first race on each day bet.(knowing skybet will refund my bet in FREE BETS if it loses)
This is a very tricky race to start the festival.I am hoping for a juicy start with MELON 4/1.
MELON Comes from a strong Irish yard Willie Mullins,Only concern I have MELON Has only seen the racecourse once in Leopardstown .Won the race by 10L
Reports say MELON Is working really well at home.
The next big clue to this will be the Jockeys Dicision RUBY WALSH Will have at least 4 options on who to ride ,If RUBY Does decide to ride MELON On Tuesday then that would be the last bit of the Puzzle for me.
I think the 4/1 will disappear .Thats why I have gone in early and grab the 4/1.
You may have a different view. Please leave a comment if you wish to share your views.
SINCE POSTING THIS ON FRIDAY NIGHT .
MELON Has already been cut to 3/1.

So we are down to the Final day of CHELTENHAM
Day 3 blog did name to winners in LAST DANCE 13/8
ROAD TO RICHES 18/1 obliged.
That should of got you out of trouble.

So 3 seconds on the first 3 days on the first race is gutting,
We have one final chance to go one better.
I have sided with the unbeaten fav in DEFI DU SEVIL To change that ridden by Dicky Johnson.
Ruby Walsh rode 4 winners on day 3 ,So anything ruby rides today will not go unnoticed .BAPAUME 10/1 could be worth each way shout.
Finished 1sr & 3rd

All my week can change on this race 50/1 & 20/1 ante post bets on NATIVE RIVER Now 4/1 Finished 3rd
4.10
Each way bet on PACHA DU POLDER At 20/1 looks to big , I might get shot saying this but this horse would have been a lot closer last year than 5th if it had a more experience jockey on board.
PACHA DU POLDER 4.10 Winner 20/1
