It's the final day of the Cheltenham Festival and I am currently £4.28 up when tallying up all the bets that have been settled.
In the 'Thursday's Results' section below, you'll see what I did to turn things around. For now. Below that, you'll see what I have for today's card.
Thursday's Results
1:20PM Marsh Novices' Chase
The winner of this race was Chantry House. The favourite going in - Envois Allen - fell during the race, so this made it even more open.
I had Envois Allen in a free £2.50 each-way treble. I also had losing bets on Darver Star and Shan Blue.
1:55PM Pertemps Network Final
Mrs Milner won the Pertemps Network Final with the horse I backed - The Bosses Oscar - finishing second. The result means that I had another placed horse in the £1 each-way Lucky 15 I had for four races this week. I've decided to take the loss and cash out the £24.84 I was offered.
2:30PM Ryanair Chase
I needed Mister Fisher to win or place for a double with Tuesday's winner - Honeysuckle. The horse didn't finish despite being in the front four for most of the race. The winner was Allaho.
3:05PM Stayers Hurdle
Flooring Porter won the Stayers Hurdle at 12/1. I had a £2.50 each-way free bet on the horse that finished in second place - Sire De Berlais.
3:40PM Paddy Power Plate
The Shunter won the Paddy Power Plate. I had a losing free £5 bet on Farclas, which finished - yes, you guessed it - second.
4:15PM Mares' Novices' Hurdle
Telmesomethinggirl won the Mares' Novices' Hurdle. My gamble on Hook Up did not hook me up.
4:50PM Kim Muir Challenge Cup
My bet was on Shantou Flyer. The £5 each-way gamble paid out £15 with the horse finishing behind the winner, Mount Ida, and second-placed, Cloudy Glen.
Friday's Bets
1:20PM Triumph Hurdle
I have a couple of horses in this race. Firstly, I backed Adagio last week. I am also on Tritonic. Both wagers are £3 each-way.
1:55PM County Handicap Hurdle
You'll see that I have a £1 each-way Lucky 15 for today with You Raised Me Up as the first selection. I also have the horse in a £3 each-way single.
The second horse I've backed in this race, in another £3 each-way single, is Ganapathi.
Finally, I have a £10 free bet on Third Time Lucki to win.
2:30PM Albert Barlett Novice Hurdle
The second horse I have in the aforementioned Lucky 15 is Barbados Buck's in the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle.
I have also used a £5 free bet on the horse to win the race outright.
3:05PM Cheltenham Gold Cup
I've placed a lot of wagers on the big race of the day.
Okay, so - if you've been following along - the horse I believe will win the Gold Cup is A Plus Tard. I cashed out a Lucky 15 with the selection in yesterday. However, I have gone back in and placed a free £10 for the win at 4/1.
As well as that, I have backed Al Boum Photo to win because I was offered 4/1 this morning in an bookmaker's exclusive promotion.
The same bookmaker offered me 7/1 for the two horses to finish 1-2 (in either order). I had a small punt on that option as well.
You'll see below that I have Santini in the Lucky 15. I also had a punt on Santini in a £3 each-way single.
I also have £3 each-way gambles on Minella Indo and Royale Pagaille.
3:40PM Foxhunters Chase
It Came To Pass is the £3 each-way gamble I have for this race.
4:15PM Mares Chase
A £2 each-way punt on the favourite, Elimay, is my wager on Mares Chase.
4:50PM Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle
The final horse in the Lucky 15 for today runs in the last race of the day. I need Galopin Des Champs for that multiple. I also have a £3 each-way single.
In another £3 each-way single - I have Galopin Des Champs' stablemate, Gentleman De Mee.
