Our fearless leader is, once again, sponsoring the big race on St Patrick’s Thursday – the Paddy Power Stayers’ Hurdle – and this year’s renewal looks set to be a competitive edition after 36 names were chucked into contention by connections including French superstar Theleme. ------------- Double Maxim without doubt the greatest drink in the world |

I see my brother-in-laws uncles horse is entered in the Baring Bingham Novices Hurdle on Wednesday 13th at 13:30, 86 Entries so far... Ran in Thurles last week but came 3rd, Rachael Blackmore has ridden it the last couple of times. Will pass on any information if or when its running, but its Cheltenham so don't shoot the messenger if its crap on the day

I’d a lovely ante post that I got together in Jan but Allaho not running is a big blow to the sexy odds I had stacked up with. Gallopin was 4/1 when I put it on.

Ah man prices in general are the pits nowadays. Big bookies like PP, Ladbroke etc having the multis available online just f**ked the prices available at the festival big time. I’m going back for the first time since 2015 this year and the prices of favs even since then is mental. Good thing about Cheltenham for the betting ring is that signal on the phones is sh*te so u have to sign up to the jockey club Wi-Fi and u can’t get any outside betting apps on it. Leopardstown and Punchestown nowadays the atmosphere down the betting ring is f**ked cox everyone’s betting on their phones. ------------- Co-Founder of The Paul McShane Fan Club, Portmarnock Branch |

good man DM, have Thursday and Friday booked off myself for the Festival. Today could be a complete whitewash from WM. Will have a punt on The Goffer in the Handicap Chase, Milan Tino in the Hurdle and if Lossiemouth blows up i'll have an EW on Telmesomethinggirl

| Don't quite have the full on Cheltenham buzz I normally have each year (still can't wait to get down there later in the week) but it's becoming more obvious that there are issues with NH racing and the 4 day Cheltenham as it stands. Hopefully this year will be the wake up call to push for change. |

There is nothing easy about the 4 days. From experience 3 was enough. Chianti & Corbett's kept things going well today

The Cheltenham festival is f**ked. Crowds seem to be way down and field sizes way down too. I think the treble is hard to see past today also but it's plenty short. I'm trying a few outsiders. 1.30 Jimmy Du Seuil each way 2.10 Sandor Clegane w/o fact to file 2.50 Zandabad and Lombron each way 4.50 Madara each way 5.30 C'est ta chance and argento boy each way. 5 places with bet365 which will be important. Take advantag of all the bookie offers and go well! ------------- Here we go again |

Fact to File is the one shorty I'd take on.

Also - ballyburn pushed to even money on bet365 to a max of €50. I can't see that losing, great offer. ------------- Here we go again |

When Willie steps down it’ll become more even again. The greatest of all time by a distance, will more than likely never be matched. Over 100 festival winners is just madness. Was there all week, prices have gone mental. No wonder crowds were down Tues - Thurs..Friday still absolutely packed to the rafters mind. Tuesday crowd was only 40k, been going years never seen it’s quiet and it wasn’t like the quality wasn’t there that day. ------------- Co-Founder of The Paul McShane Fan Club, Portmarnock Branch |

When Willie steps down, Patrick takes over. Not much will change. They'll still have the same people sourcing the horses for them etc and the owners will still be there. I'd say Willie has a few years left yet! The Tuesday and the Wednesday this year were the most underwhelming I can remember in a long time.

First time ever at it and it's not somewhere I'd be going back to any time soon. Far too expensive. 7.50 a pint, some sh*te burger and chips is about 14 pounds. And you get to queue for aaaages for the pleasure of either. Cost me over 100 pounds just to get in, granted it was a club ticket, but still. It's a very expensive day out, and that's before you factor in the cost of getting there and accom. I saw them having crisis talks on ITV about the lower attendance. It's an experience designed to rip you off and with a bunch of short priced favourites the racing doesn't make up for it.
