So with my racing Gilet and pink chinos, I donned my slips on and headed to the opening day at Cheltenham.

And yes I signed up for every free bet with every bookie in the land, some seriously good options out there – I hope you were all on board.

Together with my free bets, I had some great tips too…
Dusty carpet – I thought that would take some beating
And Cherry – but that could have done with losing a stone!

I can confirm now that it was not me who put the £400k on Altior – I would have gone to £500k if I had remembered my cheque book, I did wonder how much of that was in free bets!
I bet he was nervous with Charbel coming up the hill, could of sworn I saw a little red dot on him as he went down…

But I do have a nice tip for you – Acapella Bourgeois in the 2.10 a very nice each way option where the pink dollars will certainly be going!

Snakes not Foxes

After a busy opening day I did have a chance to see those Snakes – sorry Foxes – make it through in the Champions League.

Another chapter for Jamie Vardy to add to his life story, and hearing they are considering a change of title for his film adaptation coming soon.

I like the Back Stabbers, or the Sly Foxes – or given how reliant they were on him, maybe God Bless Kante.

I still feel for Claudio Ranieri – if only the  Leicester players had chased the opposition down as much as they did the chairman then perhaps he would still be around.
