    Cheltenham 2025 antepost

    what have we got?

    i thought quotes of 40/1 for Shishkin gold cup was a bit wild. if he goes and wins a king george he's a 3rd of that surely and you cant hold this week against him or any hendo horse. funny the exchange isn't even quoting Corbetts Cross who has to be a player.

    i suspect Ballyburn will go Turners but so does market. 7/2 isn't brilliant but probably just ******* wins.

    anyone punted anything at this very early stage?

    I've had a small bet on Iroko for the Ryanair as 50/1 seemed excessive.

    Interested in Waterford Whispers maybe for the BA but would need to re-watch the races next week for a better handle.

    Fact To File and Corbetts Cross look the obvious ones of the novices to maybe step up next season and challenge for the Gold Cup.
    Gerri Collombe at 25s is too big for another crack.

    Montys Star at 33s is interesting. With de Bromhead at the helm, could easily step forward next season.

    If only we knew where the triumph winner is going to end up!

    Most likely but no foregone conclusion, think they might want to take it slowly with her, she is fragile enough according to Elliot.

    I have been backing Constitution Hill all over the place including in through my brother in Scotland and friends in Sydney Australia.

    Why not one of them has cut the price but refused some of the bets is beyond me.

    All I can do now is sit and wait for news on his wellbeing.

    My intention is to go out with a huge bang next year, so in the meantime by maxiumum bet will be a pony and only in major races.

    I have never seen so much dross as what is going about this year.

    I thought overall even Cheltenham produced only a couple of Wow's this year.

    Of those Majborough who despite everything being against him won like a future champion

    I would be happier following him than Ballyburn who won one of the worst races of the meeting

    Sorry (Grassy) for infiltrating flat racing here. Ocean of Dreams is still 33s in spots for the Derby.

    Is the Derby being held at Cheltenham in 2025? Why is this post here?

    Free bet from Lads on a Majborough (Brown)/Firefox (Arkle) double @220/1

    Think I had about twenty antepost bets - half didn't get there, and the other half lost.

    I think my lesson is to avoid AP betting!

    Most on my NRNB includes one or more. lost Constitution Hill, Marine National, Ballyburn, Irish point, Sir Gino and when El Fabiolo fell 80% of my bets weren't worth having

    Lecky Watson, Brown Advisory, 2025, 40/1.

    I thought I was being clever having a fiver on Iroko for the Ryanair at 50s and a few layers have him at 66/1.

    The other horse that appeals is William Munny. Thinking Supreme @ 25s.

    It's worth waiting with William Munney Nick. He's got A Dream To Share to come back too, and that horse is all speed, which may make William Munney his Gallagher's horse. It's bad enough playing Mullins bingo without playing it with Connell too.

    That's fair. I will likely have him in a couple of small rollovers for both races.

    Actually it's not. I killed too many brain cells last week, and I've just realised A Dream To Share is with John Kiely!

    And it's JP's.

    Surely these really smart bumper horses make up into stayers, been a very long time since Montelado landed the Festival Bumper and Supreme.

    William Munney certainly looks top class though. (I'm well aware he didn't run in the festival bumper too).

    So I've taken 25s for the Supreme and have him at 33s in a double with an NBA future that's fairly locked in. Both small money but worth maybe getting in on the ground floor
