Cheltenham 2025

[Amy May In A Manger]

Shame. But what a tremendous win.

Inothewayurthinking beats GDC!

Hope AS and CC are all okay

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

Meh!!

GDC never looked to quite have his usual zip?

 

[Amy May In A Manger]

Corbets Cross still down . Ahoy Senor up and walking.

 

[Snowfilly]

Gentleman’sgame had a lovely ride round.

I fancied the winner as a nice type to go eventing in the parade beforehand... At least I can spot a nice type!

Corbets Cross fall was horrid, I hope the horse gets up.

Gentleman’sgame had a lovely ride round.

He'd make a fabulous hunter!

 

[blodwyn1]

I am very sad gdc didn't get his hat trick but the winner was very impressive.

 

[Equi]

Ino is in fab condition isn’t he.

 

[Kadastorm]

I had £1 EW on Gentlemans Game at 66/1. Brilliant race from him.

The winner deserved that.

Really hope CC is ok. I hear Ahoy Senor is up ok.

[humblepie]

That is so sad.

 

[Ditchjumper2]

So, so sad.

 

[millitiger]

So sad, it was a horror fall.
This was actually the only race I've watched properly this week.
I'm not sure I have the stomach for horse racing anymore, I think the lows outweigh the highs for me now

 

[Snowfilly]

Dreadful. That was a nightmare fall, I think and hope he was gone very quickly.

 

[Maddie Moo]

Bad fall in the hunter chase as well

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

Think we've another in the hunter chase unless just winded

 

[Kadastorm]

Hunter chase fall did not look good

 

[Snowfilly]

Yes that hunter chase fall looked dreadful, went to get up and then crashed down.

Tragic.

The rest of the hunter chase was a treat, everyone streaming round nicely and a tight finish. The standard has improved so much from some years back.

I agree, I used to dread watching it as it was more “rough and ready”. These days the riding standard is so much better, less dodgy strides etc.

Heartbreaking

When will we learn


Innocence and trust betrayed

Take All who fell in the hunter chase is all okay!

Excellent news! Guess he was winded?

 

[Kadastorm]

Glad to see that Take All is up ok, it was a crashing fall.

Very sad about Springwell Bay and Corbetts Cross, two lovely horses.

Other than the losses, it’s been a great week. My most successful Cheltenham week ever. I don’t bet often and only small amounts but I won £170 this week.

See you in a couple of weeks for Aintree!

 

[Spot the Merry Risk]

I’m down less than £2 this week, which is a win!

 

[Snowfilly]

Good job I was skint before starting this week, I got New Lion and Lossiemouth and nobody else for the whole meeting! Luckily I’m only down my pride.

 

[Maddie Moo]

Excellent news! Guess he was winded?

I think so, although I’m wondering whether he had his leg caught in the reins which is why he was struggling.

Just seen the updated stewards report regarding one of the other jockeys -

An enquiry was held to consider whether Mr Tom Hutsby, the rider of GO ON CHEZ, unplaced, had continued in the race when the horse appeared to have no more to give. Being a 7lb claiming amateur, Mr Hutsby was offered the opportunity to be accompanied in the enquiry but declined. The rider and the Veterinary Officer were interviewed and recordings of the incident were viewed. The rider was suspended for 10 days on dates to be notified to him by the Head Office of the British Horseracing Authority.
