I think this sums up the Festival Steve: Being utterly oblivious to everything else that is going on in Britain & the rest of the world for the duration of the four days. Cheltenham is wonderfully all-embracing.
Them 4 horses pays 18-1 NRNB to win this year’s races. That might be a punt. Nothing wrong with your logic with them bets. I see ballyburn in the turners I see Lossiemouth in champion hurdle I see jade de grugy in mares hurdle I see sir gino in arkle. I thought you might of chucked in fact to file for gold cup. You do love❤that ballyburn. BALLYBURN one step for horses one step for horsekind.At least with him you will know fate early with him. That’s a proper ARMY haircut I hope you asked for short back and sides. The last time I went to Cheltenham best mate won his first gold cup. Good luck with bets keep the videos coming.🐎❤️🐎
Cheers Peter. I did do the acca for this year, fancy it. FactTo File will probably be the next one, just want to be sure where he's going this year first and wont be going mad on him as I do want to see him find under pressure after the last, that's my only small doubt about him. Ballyburn yea, think he's got the lot. Improving hand over fist, travels, has gears, stays, jumps, you wouldn't know his ceiling. Just wins doesn't he?! Yea dont get it chopped all that often so may aswell take plenty off. Great horse Best Mate, a little underated I think despite taking out 3 Gold Cups, his 2nd was about as perfect as you get, peaked that day I'd say. Must have been a great experience mate.
@@smoking_cheltenham I have swerved all the juvenile and novice hurdles at the moment but that 4 fold might be worth £20 for a punt. If inthepocket and iroko phoenix from the flames fact to file big odds on to go browns. If I had a gun to my head I’m ballyburn but I’ve swerved the novice hurdlers. The haircut screams Staffordshire fusiliers or d wing strange ways. I used to rent a house for the week with my cousins in the 80s and 90s Cheltenham is an amazing experience but as soon as I stopped boozing Cheltenham was the coldest place in the world and I’m a Southern softie when it is cold so that put paid to that. Now it’s in front of tv but still love it❤️.

Great insight Steve 👍 i recall watching your first video & saying to my fella 'this bloke has got some good gear in his roll up' hes more laid back than a fully lowered sunlounger 😅😅 Despite the relaxed nature your defoe on top of this game tbh. Some great picks along the way 👍🏇 As always good luck to us all 🏇👍😁

I’m wanting to do a lucky 15 / acca Sir gino -arkle El fabiolo - Champion chase Ballyburn -turners Il est Francaise - gold cup
Decided Steve after this festival not to do ante post again MY thinking is to save 25 pound a week until.March 10th 2025.That means there will be 2025 in the pot therefore will have four bigger bets.Ante post is dead now a headache unfair poor value. THE BALLYBURN bets i have took those Paddy bets 11/2 i could not resist.The biggest point for me Steve for me is how Ballyburns career pans out he was bought to go chasing and Willie might have in the back of his mind about Faugheen he ended up going chasing to late because of his class Ballyburn is the same bracket hope you have a great Cheltenham.
Yea nowt wrong with that and granted it is much harder nowadays to find the value. I do love it though and will continue as long as I'm able, gone through near on 50 accounts and I'm down to my last few. I really try hard to not use them for anything apart from Chelt antepost but inevitably I'll end up purely on Betfair. Sad state of affairs really. Yea agree with Faugheen, he was at the same time as Vautour and Douvan the year after which played a part I think. All fantastic beasts. I do think Douvan would have been winning Champ Hdls and Vautour was something special over a fence. Ballyburn has the potential to be that sort of class I think, lets hope he gets the chance to fulfil it.
@smoking_cheltenham Love the horse can you tell me what you thought of his point / Point win? Steve bit confused really he looked like a staying type but in the point he finished so strong over 3 had a sprint over 3 in the last 200 yards i Willie is awesome this horse stays sound hopefully see what he can do great show enjoy every moment moment makes my work week quicker anyway. 👍🏻
@@markjefferies435 Thanks mate really appreciate that. Yea they didn't go any pace for most of the race and it turned into a sprint. Was impressive how he picked them up and you'd imagine 3m will be fine for him, certainly bred for it, but he does slightly remind me of Faugheen in that he seems to be getting pacier, has no right to be this good at 2m. After Faugheen won that 3m Limerick race as a novice I would have laughed at you if you said he'd be winning Champion Hurdles. Best guess is they try making a Gold Cup horse out of him and he goes Turners but only guessing and wouldn't fall over if he bolted in, Con Hill takes a tumble or something and he ended up in a Champ Hdl. Didn't think he looked a complete natural at his fences in that ptp, you'd forgive that though and could be a different proposition now.
@@smoking_cheltenhamit is a sorry state of arrairs Steve, have you signed up your maud though? That's the way forward, I'm a new man with accounts in me mams and r mauds name like. Depends if they will let you like, in a good negotiator haha even assuming the identify of my uncle haha the bookies won't beat the Bandit, great video yet again BTW
@@The_Cheltenham_Bandit cheers mate and yea, gone through pretty much all the friends and family now. The virgin accounts are especially hard to not break, I've got a mature 365 off a mate, a mature Paddys a newer Betvictor I hardly use & a newer skybet which only gets used for Chelt. Trying to sort a Hills out. When these are done I think I'm out though, be just exchange and shops. Hopefully can keep them going a while longer.
Forgot to mention, fairly obvious but just to be clear the 5/4 Ballyburn bally bingham cover bet has to be nrnb. Hopefully just a money back bet that.
I've took any race 2024 and 2025 @9/2 takes running in ballymore out the equation.
@@ewenhutchison841 certainly looking the smart play now after yesterday mate, nicely done Sir.
Good luck Steve. Best Cheltenham show in town.
Cheers Mark appreciate that. High praise indeed although I think it's only 2nd hey😉. Good luck mate.

I’m wanting to do a lucky 15 / acca
Sir gino -arkle
El fabiolo - Champion chase
Ballyburn -turners
Il est Francaise - gold cup
Certainly wouldn't put you off mate, that's 4 classy looking animals you've got there. Should be easier to find prices closer to Cheltenham
So the ballyburn master plan was to put 5 points on him for the Supreme and 4 points on him for the Ballymore 😂
Yea, genius hey lol
Decided Steve after this festival not to do ante post again
MY thinking is to save 25 pound a week until.March 10th 2025.That means there will be 2025 in the pot therefore will have four bigger bets.Ante post is dead now a headache unfair poor value.

Cheers Steve. Like the look of these. Never too early for Cheltenham bets. 😀
Cheers mate glad you approve, some people look at me like I've just escaped from somewhere when I start talking about 2025🤣
Nice cut Steve .
Yea no sarcasm there at all🤣. All the best Trevor good luck.
