Cheltenham 2024

Oh stay away faye should have gone with fact to file but I wanted to support the Brits

 

[Strawbz]

Phew, no fallers. Great finish by Fact To File. He has such a pretty head.

I considered Stay Away for my 7 (which I'm out of thanks to the low standard non Cheltenham race) but went for FtF

Willie Mullins seems a really nice guy but it's getting a bit like F1 with very predictable winners

Relieved it's him and not GE though!

Love a bay TB with a little white star.

I’m very bored but couldn’t agree more, you can’t begrudge Willie!

 

[Clodagh]

Fay trains with Stage Star. I’m now even more nervous for tomorrow.

I didn't see JP at Taunton on Monday to support his horse in the last race. I think it came in around 5th

 

[Smitty]

I think he will make history today.

 

[humblepie]

I don't find it boring as they are all such lovely horses winning so well. I wish though we had some local horses to cheer on - Jamie Snowden's yard has been in good form and he has some runners so fingers crossed.

 

[Kadastorm]

Man, I supported Langer Dan but he hasn’t really shown much these past few months so I didn’t bet on him…and now he breezes up I’m really happy for the Skeltons but dude…

Probably shows why handicaps shouldn’t be at Cheltenham

 

[Smitty]

My favourite race of the year, so few runners.

 

[saalsk]

Some fabulous post-race interviews with the various jockeys today - not sure who my favourite has been so far and until now, but I think Harry is well handicapped for being the best, and Nico the most honest !

 

[Smitty]

Come on Edward ...

 

[Smitty]

Is it me or is Tom Cannon riding very short?

 

[humblepie]

Listening on the radio hope El F okay and Edwardstone. Well done Captain Guiness.

 

[Strawbz]

Glad he's pulled up El F. I think they are really feeling the pull of the ground now so better safe than sorry after a slip like that.

I'm just always in awe as to how they fly these fences barely turning a hair.

 

[Strawbz]

Oh Feck!

Just as I was about to cheer Racheal on.

Hope he's okay, Edwardstone.

Come on Captain!

 

[Kadastorm]

Aww poor Edwardstone but so happy for Captain Guinness, Henry & Rachel!

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

Managed to sneak a watch, glad PT pulled up EF, he could have pulled all his back so glad he didn't press him to try and catch up/for place money

While Edwardstone got up he looked very shaken/didn't like how he was standing any updates would be appreciated as had no sound on

 

[Strawbz]

I think they just showed Edwardstone on the big screen behind Captain as he walked around.

At that quick glimpse he looked on all 4 legs and just blowing a bit?

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

They showed PT walking EF back but not Edwardstone which usually they do, unless I switched off (working) before he was shown

 

[Smitty]

Poor Edward, hope he's OK, but brilliant for Rachel and Henry

 

[humblepie]

Apparently Richard Hoiles has said Edwardstone up and okay.

 

[Kadastorm]

I think they have said that Edwardstone is up ok and walking away. Hopefully he is ok and just a bit shaken up. He was looking fab until then.

 

[Strawbz]

Thanks for the updates, I was starting to get really worried as they seemed to be silent about him. Hopefully both El F and Edward are okay and will just need some rest and TLC.

 

[Strawbz]

He was storming it. I felt torn as I saw Rachael coming up fast and didn't know who to cheer on. Only saw the fall peripherally as my attention switched.

 

[Smitty]

Didnt realise Henry has won CC 4 times!

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

Idiots moaning EF was pulled up

I'm glad he was his back end went out behind him he could have done all sorts of muscle damage I'd rather see him pulled up than try and grab a place and get seriously injured

 

[Kadastorm]

People saying it was a fix show they have absolutely no idea about horses… some saying Annie Power was a fix so this is Annie Power 2 morons think that we can train horses to fall and slip over fences & hurdles because bookies are paying them off wow there are so many idiots, we are literally surrounded by idiots…
