The King Is Dead, Long Life The King

Cheltenham finished with another top day of racing with Denman dethroning the reigning champ Kauto Star in the most eagerly awaited race for years. It was so big an event that it even had it's own song, how many sporting events other than football can say that? It was an impressive display by Denman who threw down the gauntlet with a lap to go. The sticky ground seemed to be hampering Kauto's jumping and Denman increased his lead at every fence. After having a nice win in the previous race with Nunaphar Collenges, I thought that it might be a Collenge day so ended up putting a tricast on on the three Nicholls horses amongst other bets so it was nice to see all three of them take the first three places. It enabled me to break even for the week although I was slightly gutted in the Foxhunters when I thought I'd put an each way bet on Arctic Times at 40/1 only to find out that I must have missed ticking the e/w box when I checked the ticket after it came in third.

There was just the single winner for Stick A Pin In's selections with Celestial Halo(5/1) beating the well backed Franchoek. There were places for Chomba Womba, Kauto Star and Pyscho. Today's picks are:

1-50 Uttoxeter - Majaales
2-15 Newcastle - Riquez Dancer
2-20 Uttoxeter - The Real Deal
2-45 Newcastle - Blushing Hilary
2-55 Uttoxeter - Wind Instrument
3-20 Newcastle - Stagecoach Amber
3-30 Uttoxeter - Flintoff
3-55 Newcastle - Star Beat
4-05 Uttoxeter - Punchestowns

The Good Long Friday

It's Gold Cup Day and most anticipated Gold Cup for years is on the cards. Will Denman be able to step up to beat stablemate Kauto Star? With odds for the other horses being quite high it might be worth looking for third. With Exotic Dancer at 14/1 you could make more on an each way place than on Kauto Star winning. Here are Stick A Pin In's selections for today:

1-05 Cheltenham - Chomba Womba
12-30 Cheltenham - Forpadydeplasterer
1-40 Cheltenham - The Package
2-15 Cheltenham - Celestial Halo
2-50 Cheltenham - One Gulp
3-30 Cheltenham - Kauto Star - 3rd - Knowhere
4-05 Cheltenham - Agus A Vic
4-40 Cheltenham - Vintage Treasure
5-20 Cheltenham - Psycho

A cracking days racing

It was a cracking days racing with the headline catchers being Inglis Drever becoming the first horse to win a third World Hurdle in a row and Master Minded destroying the opposition in the Queen Mother Champion Chase. Owner Clive Smith must have a lucky four leafed clover to own both Master Minded and Kauto Star.

Stick A Pin In's selections didn't do too bad. There were wins for Alberta's Run & Inglis Drever and places for Voy Per Ustedes & Bible Lord.

Cheltenham's here!

Another year has passed in no time and the best horse racing festival of the year is back. It's Champion Hurdle day with Sizing Europe the favourite but with reigning champ Sublimity, Harchibald & Katchit in the field will the bookies be right? There's good E/W value available with Punjabi & Straw Bear. It'll be a tough call for any punters so if you're stuck why not Stick A Pin In?
