Cheltenham....

[red devil]

1st and 2nd in the 2.05, the comeback is on...

[red devil]

I'm just under ?20 down on the week, so I've gone ?7.50 EW on my two Gold Cup tips. Worst case scenario down ?50 and no drinky poos...

[????]

Bloody luxury......I dream of just being ?20 down

[????]

I needed that!!!! Brilliant, a fair bit on playing catch up and I am just about even...phew :)

[red devil]

Well done ????!...I only had small EW bets this week, never recovered from bottling out of lumping on Simonsig :)

[red devil]

Now only 40 pts behind Mick with 3 races to go...comeback definitely on

[red devil]

Fook, I think Mick has pulled out a 16/1 winner, 120 pts behind now, nae chance :(

[red devil]

Double Fook!...Mick must have pulled out another winner in the last race.

..Manager.................Stable Name................Total......Day..........Overall Pos

1 Michael McCotter...Hoop Dreams...............941.00....299.00....5446

2 Red Devil...............Galloping Gourmets......754.41....283.50...13744

3 Red Devil...............Galloping Gourmets 2...685.50*..267.00...17469

*Steward's Enquiry: I've not been given 60pts for Drumshambo getting 4th in last race, but makes no difference to final places, well done Mick, pillar to post victory!..

Looked at my Betfair account this morning, was a bit rose tinted thinking i was break even, a few down in reality but would have been far worse without Bobsworth! Good race too :)

[Mick Mac]

Loved the Fantasy Cheltenham RD, thanks for setting it up.

Of course if I had been in the UK I would have actually backed those 16/1 horses with money but as in SA could not access my betfair account. Shame.

Did back Fishers Cross before the meeting started so did get a one winner on Friday. No luck with Conti in GC though. Heard it fell but don't know if it was going well?

[red devil]

I backed Conti EW Mick, and he was jumping like a dream...until he fell 3 out :)

You can see the race on You Tube... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3q6tWuMokk

[????]

..he nearly fooked it up for Bobsworth, the useless lump

[????]

.......and again.

Early thoughts?

Gonna do Bobsworth for sure

[Robert Poste's Child]

I've never been as drunk as at Cheltenham. Had to stop going in the end.

[Mick Mac]

I have never been so clostrophobic as at Cheltenham, so had to stop going.

[Robert Poste's Child]

That too, and as I'm on the short side I didn't see much but the backs of other people's coats.

Am on Conti again this year, now a winner on him as he won the King George.

[red devil]

Any takers for this year's Telegraph Fantasy game?...

[Mick Mac]

I'd probably give it a go RD if you get anyone else. thx.

[red devil]

Meds and ????, are you up for it?...

[????]

Yup I'll do it . Last year I was not around much but this year should be.

[red devil]

Good stuff. It's easy once you're registered (I'll post details how to later).

Meds is already registered so I'll go ahead and set up an EDF league, so he can join in if he wants to...

[red devil]

Ok, a league has been set up.

Click on this link ????, https://fantasyracing.telegraph.co.uk/cheltenham/select-team and register your details.

You also have to set up a 'stable' of 3 jockeys and 3 trainers. To speed things up you can use the auto select function, and edit the jockeys/trainers anytime before the first race next Tuesday 11th March.

Once you've done that you should be asked if you want to join a league, it's called EDF Betting Matters, and the Pin No. is 8055625. Let me know if you have any probs...

[????]

In, But auto-selected and can't seem to change this now :(
