Cheltenham 2020

[Naffman]

The last race of the festival could be an absolute cracker if this fave gets home

The laying on Minella Rocco ain't no spoof...it's just relentless.

[Korattt]

really enjoyed the 16:10, for me I think read it really well, could see (what I presumed as) exit positions quite far out on the fav

[rik]

stupid photofinish had 12times on the second

[PeterLe]

That last was crazy

[rik]

ha that was fun getting better with this, last race would have been perfect if second place had made it, ready to aintree

[Dallas]

Overall I thought this year was trickier than recent years, feel like I could have done better in places but still pleased with most of it

Well done Rik. You have nerves of steel!

I think you could be waiting a long time for Aintree unfortunately.

[rik]

for sure i calmed down the last few months, more consistent approach since flemington cup which was a disaster overestimated my edge

what could have done better? I dont get all this spoof money talk didnt see much, just noticed around 3,4 minute mark much smaller stakes available to back and lay which isnt the case in regular races

Good result there Rik. Was this all in play? I only pre-race and only lost in one Cheltenham race over the four days. Profits nothing like you've posted though, averaged £27 a race.

[rik]

for sure im better in running but done both on most races
traded all cheltenham only 1 loss, thats very consistent if always hedged well done
i win just slightly more than half but on average win bigger as more often fail to trade out on long shots

[BlueJim]

Yes, I scalped early. I then looked for more of a move late. I found the media and coverage helped knowing where it would eventually move late and you get a good feel for it by defensive scalping early on.

[Euler]

First two days were well above last year, but the last two days slipped a bit.

I thought it traded more or less around expectations but, of course, it's always a bit different from your day to day stuff.
