O/T Cheltenham festival

Backed Honeysuckle in the next one. Chose this yesterday because I saw the first glimpse of some whilst out walking, nothing more than that. What do I know about horse betting....ferk all actually.

I remember a actress called Honeysuckle Weeks, she was the army car driver for Michael Kitchen, when they were in Foyle's War TV programme.

Cayton, in all fairness, I did say you can pick one horse per day but gru suggested three so we've gone with that.

One important thing though, is you don't have to pick the same meeting times just 3 horses per day. It just so happened that I've picked the same races as gru. I'll probably pick different times on Weds than what gru picks.

We all know you make the rule. I just drop in-line

Brin you go on the starting price to work no. of points you get otherwise any fool can pick odds on favourites out. Example if you get a 2-1 winner that's 2pts. At moment I'm 3 pts down that way. Up to you.

gru, don't get your thought process. If i'm at the races and I fancy the favourite to win then I'll back it and not second guess say a 16/1 outsider. As for the 'any fool can pick odds on favourites' well it worked twice for me today and by the way, favourites don't always win a race, check out all todays winners and tell me if ALL the favourites won their race. My third choice wasn't even the favourite.

Let's not split hairs pal and keep it simple. If you fancy a favourite then back it but don't expect them to win all the time
