Cheltenham Day 2

Well, its definately 2-0 to the bookies as far as we are concerned after day two at Cheltenham.

We had one bet on the day and an ante post bet to run.

First up was So Young, 4pt win @ 5/2.
This horse has been the talking horse of the festival and there was a huge buzz about his chances today.
Backed all week, the money continued to come and he went off a very tight 2/1.

He was held up and started to make some headway with 3 to jump but was carried wide and bumped slighly with a couple to jump.
Meanwhile, Oscars Well was cantering. That one made a terrible mistake at the last but so did our runner.
So Young had a great deal of momentum approaching the last before fluffing it. Impossible to say he would have won but if the race were run again we would be backing the same selection.
He could only finish 3rd with Oscars Well finishing an also unlucky 4th.

Our second bet was an ante post bet on our idea of the banker of the meeting, Time For Rupert, 4pt win @ 5/2.
Anther huge buzz for this horse today and tons of money came for him all morning, leading him to go off a 7/4 favourite.

For some reason, he ran completely flat today. He just didn't pick up at all and finished a very disappointing 5th.

Not a great day and judging by many of the blogs, many punters were hit hard today.

Still, there are two more days to go and we are still hopeful of some big runs, especially on Friday.

Tomorrow looks very tricky but we are expecting at least one account bet. Lets hope for an upturn in fortunes.
