My content is exclusively to analyse the Cheltenham Festival. It was the original you tube channel to focus on the festival. It has been highly successful in providing profit but I do try to underplay that as much as possible. It is more for serious punters if you are looking for four bets a day it’s not for you. It provides a very occasional ante post bet and bets during the festival. I back everything that I recommend with decent (to me) sums of money. If the selections lose I lose. I hope to be extremely transparent and to provide content. The videos are weekly. Every season thus far has been profitable. Thanks for reading and watching. Mark

SIR GINO out bookies laughing already Mark
Ante post is a bookies dream.
Hi Mark enjoyed the video. Like the dbl great chance, you're right about these prices moving very fast nowadays. All the best mate
Hi Steve, Prices just disappear. It has to be NRNB now but the prices are skinny. It’s a tough year. Sir Gino a massive blow for the festival to lose such a huge clash.
@Cheltenham-Chat yea found it harder than last year and Sir Gino big shame would have been a great contest that. I did same with Woodooh after Joyouse won, had a little bit on at 14/1 pipe & 16/1 Coral then looked later and wow. Do worry about ground and mark but easy one to get out of if it doesn't work out. Funny horse, doesn't do much in front unbeaten nobody really knows how good she is yet.
Can't wait Steve & yourself 🙏
Hopefully we can get it to work.
Hey Mark I hope you're well, would say your double bet at over 7s is a good one - can't see either getting beat at this stage if they turn up. Unfortunately I missed the price Great to hear the joint video with Steve is a potential goer 🤞
Thanks Willie. Every bet is hard to find. Hope you’re doing ok.
the johnny dineen mugs do it, follow the herd, fear of missing out collapses the price and people then back it not for the value but for the sake of trying to pick a winner, as the price has gone he is now running at negative ev, even if that bet wins, it's still a long term losing bet i.e therefor a bad bet. Even a 4/1 dog has his 25% and will have his day. run that bet long term you are a huge loser. But because it might win when they bet it, they think it's a good bet. You will find that is what they call dumb money. The smart money got the value. Rich, smart people do the opposite to the thick, poor people :)
4/1 is 20%, not 25%
@@johnsonkevin1 but you get my point :) was typing that in a rant to be fair, frustrates me when you casually just try explain that to people and a 1/4 would be 25% a 5th is 20% if you compile the 4+1 is 20% so you would win once in 5 runs. but as a fraction 1/4 is 25%
@Boratshermedey Not many people understand that a horse has a value, and just back it at any price. Because they think a winner is a winner.
@ that's the difference between backing intrinsic value and trying to back a winner, you always want it to be a +ev bet, even if it loses, long term it's a winning bet. easiest way to that is smashing the SP price. Problem is the more you beat the price and the bigger the margin is a quicker way to get gubbed. limited or just refused action.
Borat you claim never to bet odds less than 3/1, You seriously saying all bets less than 3/1 aren't value?
Harry Skelton taking the lead too far out? Where have I seen this before…
He certainly has previous for it.
Would be great to have you and Steve in the same room chatting if you could 😂
We will do our best. I’d love to chat Cheltenhamm with Steve.
Thanks Mark
No worries
Mark, Mares Chase on last day is 3rd race know. Just for your info..
Yes just seen they’ve moved the races around each day. Thanks.
Hi Mark Why does a few lbs make such a difference when these horses are so massive,? Infact some horses lose kilos in a race. Mind boggles.😂
1lb will slow a horse by about a length in 2m plus race, no? 3lbs in a 5f sprint. Its just mechanics
Bear in mind they carry 10 stone odd to start with
Hi Mark, good job you didn’t put up Garlic Bread up the other day as Mullins has now said both him and El Fab will be going to the Ryanair, that race now looks like a minefield 🤷🏽
Hi Mark hope you are in good health, i wish you the best of luck with the Cheltenham tips as i will be on them as well,i hope you do a video with Steve the smoking Cheltenham man,i think it would be a success, wish you well Mark and God bless, regards Gerard from Cork, Rep of Ireland
What do you think, Mark Walsh top jockey at Cheltenham 7/1?
Good Luck Mark
I backed Kopek , Turners, and Final Albert Bartlett. Gutted 😫😫
Both very impressive Mark. Best of luck and look forward to following your bets over the next few weeks 💪
Id have probably put teahupoo with kopek myself. Id worry about whether something will have too much speed for final demand in the turners. 2m6f winners rarely win that race. Its usually won by something with good 2 mile form.
Like the bet Mark great chance and gives you options if the 1st leg cops. Good luck mate
Completely agree, Mark. Bullet Proof
Yes I can see the logic, but the bookies all try to get the fav beaten in the supreme don’t they! I did it with shishkin a few years back, lumped on at 7/2 went to 7/4 few days before the race and drifted to 13/2, luckily I went back in at the bigger odds as well or I’d of had my fingers burned.
I like it good luck 👍
Good lad Mark, that's the start of it 👍
Best of luck Mark
Are they value now 5 weeks out? I think you’ll get those prices on the day maybe bigger without the concern of injury in the build up to Cheltenham. Good luck anyway
Paul it is non runner money back so one non runner gives me a single and I just feel one or both will contract in price. 11-8 and 5-2 gives 7-1 I feel so will be lower but I could well be wrong. It’s a gamble.
Did exactly same bet Mark immediately after Willie confirmed destinations , he called both special , thats good enough for me.
If you like Kopek you got to like Kawaboomga for Turners at 11/1 only beat 2lghs then won good race after better value than final demand
There hot .favourites
@@davidkavanagh3484 And ?
👍
It was hard picking them one out , your right there no such thing as a certainty
I know they are fairly obvious just feel the Supreme horse may go stupid price and then the stake on the double would be too big a percentage of the bank.
Brilliant mark fair play mate
Oi Oi the flags down and we’re off. Good luck with bets.🐎❤️🐎
Sounds good to me, im on KDB for the Turners 9/1 but is it a definite its now goingvto the Supreme? I could cash out and be in profit now but if mullins changes his mind I've lost a decent bet by cashing out.
I think you’re better off covering for the supremes. I have him for the turners and won’t cash out but have all but given up on the ticket. Strangers things have happened though
@barneyhughes9445 Exactly they have mate. My ideal world would SM for Supreme, KDB Turners and FD for Albert Bartlett
Best of luck with this, and all your bets for 2025. What was your take on Gaelic Warrior? Really disappointing for me but hopefully he still goes for champion chase🤞
Good luck 🍀
Best of luck all. ☘️
1 bet = 1 winner GO COLLECT 💰
Hi Mark....remember when you mentioned Vanillier after the Cheltenham race... I was thinking Cromwell is in hot form so had a tenner at 40/1 for thr Cross Country this morning... Runs today and wins 18 lengths... Thanks for that....looks a lovely bet this afternoon..❤
Ladbrokes are NRNB Mark. For the championship races.
Great 2 day views mark thanks for your time to do these videos 👌👍
I wouldn't right off el faboilo 14s he the highest rated
IMO, Gaelic Warrior is not a 2 miler in open grade company. He won a very weak arkle on heavy ground last season, and so far, he's been disappointing. I appreciate it is horses for courses, but I don't think the horse has that much of an issue with leapordstown. He was just beaten by better horses. I was really disappointed with El Fabiolos jumping. He was by far the best horse in that race, and all of a sudden, he's become bambi on ice. For the Champion Chase I still wouldn't write off Energumene if it was bottomless
I don’t get the Gaelic Warrior for champion chase idea, nothing in his form lines suggests he’s up to it, to my eye at least. Wasn’t even campaigned as an arkle horse last year, ground came up in his favour and Willie didn’t really have any other concrete options for the race. You could question the ride on him over the weekend but I personally struggle to see him being able to lie up at that pace even if they tried.
Good content mark.
Another great video Mark. Tend to agree with you on mostly all of it again! Not sure if it’s great minds think alike, or if I should be worried that I’m too comfortable patting myself on the back while watching. I tend to disagree with a lot of the podcasts which I like as it means I’m at least considering different points of views. I will be backing the FD and KDB double, you can get just over 8/1 which is more than fair, that’s Ante rather than NRNB. I don’t know what The New Lions form amounts too, but I do have a feeling that the Challow was another weak renewal, though he did do it easily. I wouldn’t totally rule out The Yellow Clay either for all he seems to lack the classiness of Final Demand or The New Lion, out of the 3 of them he’s the only one who has had an actual race, and will be staying on strongly whatever happens, especially if they go a strong pace. I am a little gutted having to play catch-up with KDB in the Supreme as I have him well backed for the Turners at big prices, but at least it’s right horse wrong race, as opposed to wrong horse altogether. It’s Elliott/Hands & Heels by the way!
Agree with everything you said. I was on Kopek for the Turners at 14’s. Kicking myself that I didn’t cover the Supreme yesterday morning. I did it last year. Doubled Slade Steel and Ballyburn for both races. I’m going in with the worst book I’ve had for years this time.
Best of luck for the festival lad. Might bump into you there👍 Enjoying your videos with 4 or 5 years❤
Oh by the way my Dad says Fever for the bumper👌. Should add for context although we techincally English his Mum was Irish and he wouldn't back an English horse for the Bumper if it looked like the 2nd coming of Arkle😂
@@smoking_cheltenham as for the bad books I’ve just watched racing both weekend afternoons plus football then made videos both evenings and now trying to sneak to place a few ante post bets at the shops. Unpopular would be an understatement 😊. Cheltenham better go well she keeps saying !!!! The bumper horse at Pipes bolted in in an Irish bumper trainer then sold the horse to Tilsdale who gave it to Pipe. Irish trainer said it was the best horse he’s ever had. Also had a reason for his Irish bumper defeat before his two recent wins. Bambino was strong tho and has a big chance.
Hi Mark, great video enjoyed that. Thanks for the shout out, very good of you and I'd love to do a joint one, as long as you dont mind me smoking at side of you😂. I dont know if you still got my email but let me know and we'll sort something out. I did actually back kaid d'authie today and backed kopek for the wrong race so I'll take the backtonormal but cant take credit for that lol. Dont mind that double mate, luckily I played it just before the race but for no reason I can think of didnt take the 8/1 nrnb for Kopek in a single😢. Very impressive both, nit picking Kopek plenty keen they'll just need to keep a lid on him and final, just not sure for the ballymore horses that you'd give a favs chance in the bartlett. Only niggle looks class. Think Kawaboomga would bring a high level of form to the ballymore with the potential for much improvement over the trip, might well go Supreme looking at jp's deck but think 10/1 nrnb is very fair for a cover bet. If he did go that way and kopek took out the Supreme in good style dont think you'd get half that price. I know coming off a maiden but those 2 maidens are serious form. I covered that double also lol. C'mon the Warrior! Think it will come down to the ground, soft/heavy all over him for the Champion, gd/sft may go Ryanair but like you say think Fact To File goes there amd although different jockeys hard to see Willie throwing 2 of his big guns at that race. Willie bingo, does my bloody head in😅. Poor Lossie, didnt deserve that just glad she's still alive and kicking to be honest. I'll never forget Our Connor, was all over him great horse those 2m hdlrs live on the edge. Rambled long enough mate wife in bed done no prep for tomorrow been sorting out antepost most the evening best go up I'll be in bad books now. All the best and thanks again great video
Thanks Steve. GW a big concern after today but can’t forget that Arkle. I liked both runs from Final Demand he’s too good for a Bartlett for me. Everyone likes Kawaboomga for Turners that has me swithering a little even my closest accomplice is saying Kawa. Anyway if you could mail me at mmackay67@gmail.com we could organise a joint video or “attempt😊” one. I’ll need a manual.
@Cheltenham-Chat yea I'm same with Gaelic, sft/hy I think he'll smash Jonbon tbh but for me it is all about the ground with him. Love Final Demand, definitely goes Turners just like my Turners horse to have shown good 2m pace, looks to have gears but I'd say if he went Bartlett theoreticaly then I'd fancy him. Just prefer my turners horse to be more Supreme/Turners than Turners/Bartlett if you know what mean. Dont let me put you off at all though I am on just dont think he's a like Ballyburn penalty kick last year. I'll note down that email in a min so you can delete it if you like, just give me a few mins mate. Yea never done owt like this before but I'm sure we'll be reight lol. All the best will do that then off to bed best get the better half something out of these backtonormal winnings think I'm definitely in bad books🤣
Punters have to get into their head that British trainers target Christmas and Cheltenham . Mullinx starts later and works back from Punchestown to Aintree & Cheltenham. So the mullins strategy is to start later and due to weather conditions even slower and later this season. To prove the fact everyone missed Punchestown last Monday, Mullins Karbau won the Maiden in a very fast time on my speed figures and has the highest rated RPR this season.in maidens on either side of the lrish sea, can he transfer this to open or group class remains to be seen, his novices are still a work in progress. Yet no one has picked up on this novice in any podcasts l have come across. His novices are still evolving. So don't think you have the full picture yet, be fluid and spot the potential late bloomers who could surprise many at the festivals. Don't forget podcasts and reporters only have asked questions on stable tours of horses that have had numerous races to date. Watch out for the potential late bloomers who could improve at a rate of knots past more experienced stable mates.
@@smoking_cheltenham A joint video between Mark and Smoking Cheltenham, what more in life is there to look forward to?
Honest intelligent talk is hard to come by these days. Fair play
Kawaboomga is very under repped, Mark. KDB franked his form with that run today. I reckon he's a good bet for the turners, mate.
@@Andrew-z1r5h Kayaboomga has looked good both races. I was seriously impressed by Final Demand at Limerick as well as yesterday. All opinion.
Hi Mark, I really appreciate the time you put in to making these videos, please don't feel you have to make them so regular at the expense of your own enjoyment mate. There's a bloke on TH-cam called Marc Hrsky or something like this who tips horses, he reckons he's the bees knees I was wondering if you or anyone else have any reviews about his tipping site. Honest reviews only though.
Agreed. I am hoping Final Demand heads to the Albert Bartlett. 🤞🤞
Hes only run in maiden hurdles. May sneak a place but horses without proper graded form don't win often if ever at Cheltenham.
@Andrew-z1r5h willie said turners for final demand and was pretty unequivocal about it.
I have opened the comments but I will struggle to post replies
Completely agree RE you are too obsessed with profit. We want to see more strong opinions and bets from yourself. That’s why we all subscribed. Your views last week on Hasthing were absolutely spot on, it led me to watch back the race and stick a fair bet on him for the Kim Muir
