Cheltenham Festival Champion Tipster Competition

[Tony Towner]

Well there must be some optical illusion then because to me it looks like the horse on the far side with the nose in front

 

[Nando]

Wouldn't have mattered if Barry didn't try and showboat. Should have kicked on 2 out and put it to bed.

Getting increasingly bored of the Mullins/Elliott whitewash that this week is becoming year in year out. Hope Sam Spinner can nail one for the small guys.

 

[Jabbawolf]

It is just that - 1st look, Glenloe wins, then you look at the other horse, and it would have to have a head like a crocodile to complete the picture - shame, I was on Glencoe - 2 2nds so far ��

 

[arklowolf]

It's an optical illusion because the horse's images are stretched which makes it look like the horse nearest has a 'correct' shaped head, when in fact it's head is 'pointed'.
Know where you're coming from though.

[Trips]

Really enjoyed my day there today. 1 winner and 4 seconds. Oh well can't win them all. UDS losing has cost me a bit but got 9/1 on the course on Delta Work so that was my UDS stake

[Nando]

The Stayers was an absolute farce of a race. 11s slower than the Pertemps which is a race of second grade handicappers. I imagine Townend and Power couldn't believe their luck, no surprise the two horses with the ability to quicken finished where they did. Absolutely tremendous training performance from Willie in any case.

There can't be many Grade 1 winners who've gone off 66/1 in their last race either. Good performance from Balko, please for De Bromhead.

The gulf in quality between Irish racing and that over here is astonishing at the moment.
