Top 10 Things to do At Cheltenham Festival

Lydia Symonds — Sun, 03 Jan 2021 21:11:39 +0000

Top 10 ways to spend your time at the Greatest show on Turf

I am sadly only going to one day of the festival this year. I normally do all four if I can. Unfortunately this year and last my turn out has been less than satisfactory.

Last year I only went to the Gold Cup because I had the small problem of a hefty 15,000-word dissertation to contend with. This year I am on a masters and I’m not sure taking four days off for horse racing will really cut it. Which is a shame

But in my absence I thought I would give you lucky people who have the privilege to attend the best sporting event of the calendar some pointers of how best to spend your time.

1. Make sure you pay a visit to the pre-parade ring. There is nothing better than seeing the trainers final prep before the big race in the saddling enclosure. You catch a glimpse of the some weird and wonderful routines each trainer has. But also to see the horses before they come out in front of the big crowds it can really give you some good inspiration in terms of betting.

2. Watch the Cross-Country race from the middle of the course. There is nothing more exhilarating than watching the chaotic events of the cross-country race unfold before your very eyes. If you go to the centre of the course to enjoy this spectacle you can get so close that you may even have splatterings of mud on you when you return to the centre. There is even a bookie over there in case you want a cheeky bet.

3. Watch the Gold Cup from the lawn. There is no better place in terms of atmosphere. But a warning…before you have a rant about a horse that may have lost you a packet have a look round first. Often many of the trainers watch from the lawn so it’s likely you will be rubbing shoulders with racing royalty.

4. Spend some time in the fun areas of the course. Go and spend your winnings in the Guinness Village. The Guinness might be overpriced but it still tastes just as good. The Arkle bar is a good place to quench your thirst and the good news is you’re only a stones throw away from the winning post.

5. Have a wonder round the Hall of Fame. This is a great museum right on your doorstep. Wonder through the halls where you are surrounded by colours of former Gold Cup winners right from Red Splash in 1924 taking you all the way up to Synchronised in 2012. This is great place to pass the time if the weather is bad, but also if you just have a free moment.

6. Have your picture taken with the various statues dotted around the course. You have a plethora of greats from old and new. Have a picture snapped with the great Golden Miller or the beautiful mare Dawn Run.

7. Have a bet on a horse just because you like the name. I went to the festival one year with a group of friends who did not know a huge amount about racing. One friend placed a bet on Bertie’s Dream at 33-1 and came away 80 quid better off.

8. Go to the Best Mate statue. Every year there is a band around the 3 times Gold cup winner Best Mate’s statue. They normally have a poem read out about his wins. It’s a nice way to spend some time while waiting around for the next race.

9. Hit the shops. This is a good way to spend time waiting at the end of the day if you hate traffic jams. Wonder aimlessly through the shopping district. But men are warned if they take along their wives or girlfriends, it’s unlikely you will leave with the day’s winnings!

10. Finally…Make sure you do enjoy every race of the meeting whether they be Grade One’s, Handicaps or Amateur races because it truly is the Greatest show on Turf….

Boxing Day King George VI

Martin — Tue, 24 Dec 2019 00:38:17 +0000

King George VI Chase:

Whatever happens between 3:05pm and 3:10pm at Kempton Park on Boxing Day, we are sure to be treated to a Christmas cracker of a King George VI Chase. Paul Nicholls putting up two of his star chasers up against the Colin Tizzard charge looking to edge closer to a possible triple crown.

In the last 15 years Nicholls has won the race a staggering eight times, five of which came from superstar Kauto Star, and he bids for back-to-back victories with Clan des Obeaux this year. He’s not had the greatest of times since his famous victory over Thistlecrack last year and will be looking for another big run at the showpiece event.

Cyrname – the highest-rated chaser in racing, the horse that famously ended Altior’s unbeaten record at Ascot in November. His last three runs have seen him obliterate a field by over 21 lengths, beat Waiting Patiently by 17 lengths and do what 87 other rivals failed to do, beat Altior. He’s the form horse and the current bookies favourite (7/4) with Nicholls even uttering his name in the same sentence as the legendary Kauto Star. The only question left to answer is, can he stay over 3 miles?

Lostintranslation is a horse that has come on leaps and bounds, since his gallant defeat to Defi Du Seuil at the Cheltenham Festival he’s gone on to win his next three races beating the likes of Topofthegame and the Haydock specialist Bristol De Mai. His form coming into the race is undoubted and should Colin Tizzard’s charge land the spoils, a tilt at the Triple Crown is on and all roads will inevitably lead to the Gold Cup, to which he currently occupies favouritism.

Are you ready for Lostintranslation vs Cyrname vs Clan Des Obeaux?

Tour De France Stage 9 Winner Tip

Martin — Sat, 08 Jul 2017 13:59:15 +0000

Today sees the tour go from Nantua to Chambéry. This is one of the most anticipated days of the tour so far with a serious mountain stage which involves 6 climbs including 3 Hors catégorie climbs the hardest of the lot !The riders will climb over 4,600m. The riders go through the ALps and Savoie regions.
Chambéry was the host of World Road Championships in 1989. The race was won by American Greg Lemond who won a six man sprint to get the rainbow jersey for a second time. Sean Kelly finished 3rd. The riders will be climbing pretty much from the start. The average gradient is between 9 and 10.3. The picturesque climb is the Grand Colombier which is famous for it hairpins to the summit. At the halfway point the climb ramps up to 22 per cent. The mont du CHat is the hardest with no respite on the way up and technical decent.
The GC gaps will be huge after. Chris Froome one a similar stage in 2016 with his scary downhill riding. There is 25km after the last climb. It should be a great stage.

Today is the last flat spinters stage, before the brutel cobbles stage along the hell of the north course to Roubaix. There is only one hill which is only a cat 4. So it is likely a breakaway will be allowed for most of the day before the sprint trains will be wanting to reel them in for a sprint finish. Yesterday Dylan Groenewegen won his first stage of this years tour for Lotto Jumbo but who will win today.

The final km result in crashes for 2 British the first with the Yellow jersey crashing, but thankfully got back on his bike to ride home.
