One more sleep!

Who does everyone fancy for Day 1?

I can't wait to see Ballyandy in the Supreme Novices - and Nico de Boinville spoke warmly of River Wylde at a preview on Friday.

For the Arkle can Altior be beaten? I hope no!

I'm on Druids Nephew for the Ultima and Buveur Dair gets my money in the Champion Hurdle ( although I'd love to see The New One win, I wish they'd gone for the stayers instead). Interesting that Ruby has gone for Limini in the mares, good luck to them!

Wishing everyone a wonderful Cheltenham Week!
 
As long as they all come home safe and sound that's the main thing for me.

Am really looking forward to seeing Altior. The other races are quite open I think
 
Another 'Hi everyone' from me too. Never given racing much thought before being off sick last year when Cheltenham was on and loved it. I booked these four days off when I went back to work after Christmas and have been looking forward to it ever since!
 
Aww, loved the history of the thoroughbred cartoon!

ITV seem to have really improved their coverage in the last few weeks and even MC seems to have toned things down a bit. Think I'm developing a crush on EC :o Oli is very cute but I think way too young for me.
 
SOOOOO excited cheltenham is here at last,regretting not going now as usually go the first day but got stuff going on and thought i would give this year a miss,but watching the opening show and seeing all the horses arriving you can feel the buzz , just want all the horses to come back safe x
 
I'm 'working from home' today......not entirely sure how much work I'll be doing to be totally honest!

Bring on the Cheltenham roar! Come home safely horses and jockeys, here's to a cracking opening day!
 
I'm ready! Magners chilling in the fridge, jobs for the day already done, currently watching come dine with me but finding time going slowly. Can't wait!
 
Sporting Life Fast results will put them up as soon as they have weighed in.

On racing post if you can watch the text commentary which is about a fence behind the TV but will give you a good running commentary and the first 3-4 home unofficially
 
Love it!
Such a young lad and what a way to start his career, let alone the festival.
Poor Ballyandy, didn't have much chance.
 
I'd forgotten which horses I'd put in my accumulators last night. Turns out in my silly big price, 1p each way had Elliot's horse at 50/1! That one is on target to bet me 588k! My other sensible ew accumulator had River Wylde at 10/1 so happy days! That one started off being worth 750k but with him being 3rd km not sure what it has dropped down to.

Let's hold out for some more big priced winners! Lol!
 
I had an ew on River Wylde...made the big profit of 60p! Ha!

The JT piece was very moving - lovely touch by ITV, a fitting tribute to a great jockey.

A lovely piece about the late JT, very moving.

What a pity the opening few minutes did not show the grand old warriors parading in the paddock, just a back ground shot of them.
