Cheltenham Day 3

Here we go again, i am putting up bets i have already struck, there may be others to follow and some may be backed again if i have any early success. Am a bit disappointed in Billy's only taking a nifty off me for Grand Crus, put the rest on at the magic sign.
Have not put anything up for the Charity race, although i must admit i do fancy that Rachel Wise (if only!!)

race 1

£20 e/w Wishful Thinking - placed - £2.50 (race total - £2.50)

Big run for my funny there with what i thought was the main danger winning, unfortunately i decided against backing both as the prices where too short, I did not think the mistake at the last made any difference to the result, decent start to the day!

race 2

£17 e/w Chartreux - lost - £34
£10 e/w Buena Vista - won + £250 (race total + £216)

Lovely bit of Dutching, also made a nice BF trade which will be added on on end of day round up, ran as i expected, shot off quicker then Linford Christie's trunks and had the rest in trouble from a long way out and i knew he would stay on up the hill, Chartreux ran ok but weakened badly two flights out, lets hope for more of the same.

race 3

£12 e/w, £6 win Kalahari King - placed + £3 (race total + £3)

A race where i was adamant Poquelin would not win, KK ran a great race after not been given the greatest ride ever, but the jockey comes from my town so i will say no more about him! Thought he was a bit far back but still ran his heart out, beaten again by AP who is showing why is one of the greatest.

race 4

£75 Grand Crus - lost - £75 (race total - £75)

Good race, thought jockey might have rode GC to the front before the last, great riding from Ruby though on the winner to give me my third second place! and i have no placepot voucher.

race 5

£10 e/w Beautiful Sound - placed + £6.25
£5 e/w Quartz De Thaix - lost - £10 (race total - £3.75)

Had an exchange bet on Aigle D'Or which went astray but as i said earlier today the exchange total will added or deducted at the end of day, Quartz De Thaix was prominet but weakened out of it, Beautiful Sound was last for most of the race then ran on for a place when a positive ride would have won the race. Should have done placepot five placed so far.

race 6

£25 Junior - won + £150 (race total + £150)

Fantastic result in the 'Silver Spoon' chase, got on this one just before i put up blog at the nice price of 6/1, good job as it got hammered, well ridden by the silver spoon who reeled in the leader  (pun) and was in no danger from a long way out and won as he liked by twenty four lengths, i will not be having a bet in the charity race but have two small bets on for the sand tonight.

5.45 Liberty Green £7 - lost - £7

7.45 Relative Strenghth £13 - won + £32.50 (night bets total + £25.50)

Several trades on BF + £39
Cheltenham + £288


today + £352                total + £1113                           bank + £2113


Fantastic day today and a few nice trades on some big early morning prices, great festival for me again today with a third winning day. Two nice winners and three seconds and a third but alas no placepot! This could have been a much better day, onto the last day tomorrow where i am in a nice position. I will be opposing Kauto Star, Denman and Imperial Commander tomorrow, what with i don't know but hopefully i will put my bets up here before racing.
