Cheltenham Gold Cup is the jumping purists greatest race, the classic...better race than the Grand National imo....I wonder if anyone else remembers some great horses from the past....Pas Suel, Saffron Tartan, Kerstin, Linwell, Roddy Owen, Mandarin and of course
Mill House and the wonderful Arkle (3 wins).

1 30. Sir Erec (nap)
2 10. Eclair de Beaufeu
2 50. Allaho
3 30. Thistlecrack
4 10. Stand Up and Fight
4 50. Not Another Muddle
5 30. Dallas des Pictons

I prefer gold cup to national too.

Msmmy Pags - in the words of John McCricick - 'go racing' - my late Father in law loved racing and I have found this mesmerising although not sure why ?

Just a note but the Cheltenham Festival was the late Queen Mums favourite meet!

You’ve found Cheltenham mesmerising? It looks a beautiful course.

I’m gonna wait a couple of years until the kids are toddling and at school I think. This is the last one. I’m not doing pregnancy again after this

I’ve got your choices NJS. Thank you

Pags, have you got your little 'un a few toy horses?
If not get your finger out! 😀

He has toy horses, wooden play sets and plays on his older sister’s ride on pony

He loves animals.

Shoes make excellent jumps for toy 🐴

But not stilettos 😀

Penshaw.... did you have an accumulator for first 4 races yest.. would of won a fortune .. ?

Weare. I do not bet on horses. I did in my youth until I read a book about betting by a bookmaker.
He said the only weakness was when they used to pay 1/4 odds for place in an 8 horse race. They then changed it and after that I lost interest.

This comp I just read the comments on the link Mammy gave and did my guess from that. Pure utter luck on my side.
I still would not bet. Bookies love horse racing with big fields. Good luck if you put money on today

They were 6 successive winning favourites from
Altior on Wednesday to Thursday...I think today will be like first day, bookmakers to win, tragic for punters!
