A bloodbath since the first race Tuesday really. Yesterday more horses on the floor than finishing but that is the way it goes. Still plenty of time and a couple of winners will get us back. Running total is -£1052.50 going into Day 3.
I will update this post before/after each race at Cheltenham today with my selections. Feel free to leave comments etc and I will answer what I can time permitting. No doubt you will be inundated with horse racing tipsters sending you guaranteed winners etc but it really is not like that, I find it a very entertaining battle and hope to come out on top.
My selections will come from a combination of
Info from my pro punting friends who bet on horses for a living and are pretty good.
I am using System Builder
The race card from Festival Racing Specialists who also blanked yesterday
We also have an FTS member running a thread on using the bookies bonuses on the forum so you may want another window open to keep an eye on that.
That thread is here

Well done Kev Lane! Final Boy and Mickie EW for the next.
Meant to say… Fingal Boy
Fingal Bay Jetson & Top Wood all E/W
If Fingal Bay is back to his best then he will carry this lot round. He is still the only horse to ebat Simonsig over here. Grand Vision and a nibble on Southfields Theatre for me.
First and second. Great race. Daryl gutted losing it in the photo.
I’m with Al Ferof & Minorah in 2.40.
Same 2 jocks. Hope Jacobs regains
his mojo. Look devistated.
Al Ferof & Menorah EW for 2.40
Benefficient and Al Ferof for me.

Prob one of the top two for the next but no point at those odds so Zarkander EW for me. And a cheeky one on Reve De Sivola EW.
Big Bucks Win & Salubrious E/W
A great race to watch. A few shekels on More Of That and Medinas.
The day just gets better – got 9/1 on More Of That.
Johns Spirit, Colour Squadron & Champion Court all EW for next.

Thank you Gary @ WTVL! I got it at 11.5
Brilliant service. Thanks Ian for drumming it into me to stick with it!
Firth of the Clyde & Bless the Wings E/W.
Totally agree with Hilary. The 26/1 on Sunday wasn’t bad either
Well done Ian, you are on the board.
and I missed the only winner so far as I was watching Twitter 🙁 and forgot to refresh this page in time!
Nice one, Ian and Colour S. 2nd
Onto the lucky last
Well, 2nd and 4th means a small profit for the day. Well done to all the winners!! On to tomorrow.
Oops 1 ahead of myself, still 2 to go.
I don’t want to watch you and usain bolt get up to anything.
That winner has thrown me. Sorry just
1 to go and its Am riders so on to tomorrow.
Nothing for me but if I was to choose I would go for Roberto Goldback, Tranquil Sea & Same Difference EW.
Well at last i have something to get excited about – a placed horse – is this the turning point ? will leave the last race alone and start concentrating on tomorrows selections.
Go and get your darts out Alan, but don’t throw them at your laptop.
Right the Lucky Last and the darts tell me Fine Parchment & Night Alliance E/W.
Spring Heeled plus Saint Are and Quinz at big odds
Cracking day for me with four winners and some placed horses, what a contrast to wash-out Wednesday yesterday. Well done to everyone who had a winner today. Looking forward to the Blue Riband tomorrow.
Very nice Call with SPRING HEELED Kev, wish I had seen this!!
Nice one Ian, from Fatty artbuckles to Usain Bolt in 2 races …and a clean sweep in the last …
