[Other Sport] The Chetenham Gold Cup Thread

[Normal Rob]

well i've come back for the GC. Wasn't paying attention properly when placing a bet online. Glanced at the odds and thought 'that's a little better than expected' so instantly put a small bet on. No surprise that the odds were better, it was the wrong horse.

can i edit this. I always meant to back Al Boum Photo

I didn't think much of the winning owner.

Cheltenham has been absolutely fantastic - until today. Horrific end to Sir Erec, and as for the Gold Cup, well I don't like Mullins. As much as they were talking up the Gold Cup, I thought it was a crap race. Kemboy out early, then 2 brought each other down. Very disappointing.

strangely, i thought it was a brilliant race.

Invitation Only also put down in the GC. Tragic.

Was it me or did the Gold Cup not have the crowd roars/magic of many past Gold Cups? (Dessie, Kauto Star, Dawn Run). Pleased for Willie Mullins though.

Only just finished watching the coverage having been at work. Profitable day for me as I had Pentland Hills e/w (was impressed when I watched its previous run at Plumpton a couple of weeks ago), Ch'tibello and Hazel Hill.

Gold Cup winner seems to have eluded most on here - I went with Native River.
