      ​@@The_Cheltenham_Banditcheers mate and have you seen the prices dont think ten bob will cut it anymore😅. Yea had a good roll at it anyway, another one to file away with the nearlys. We'll keep banging at that door, the way you play is clever gives you a better chance than most of getting one through.
      Good luck mate and all the best

      Cheers mate cashed out my Champ Hdl bet on the back of that. Wasn't much but it all helps. Hopefully he doesn't jump like a wardrobe and go back hurdling😂

    Great show Steve cant wait for the return of Ballyburn.Have had a few quid all e/way on Quai de Bourbon 33s. Stellar Story 20s. Better Days ahead 25s. love all of those.Still believe the Brown's is the right route for BALLYBURN 6s still FAIR.Think his class would prevail my heart tells me that Willie will say no.My take Steve is that this years ARKLE is going to be mega and Ballyburn is more beatable here,again his class might be anough.Could Willie rely on Impairre Passe, Majborough Ile Atlantique for the Arkle ? and others of Willie's could come out of the woodwork what do you think Steve.?

      @@markjefferies435 Cheers Mark and I think you've got some great tickets there for the Browns, all likely players and pretty prices.
      Ballyburn, wow. He's this years Gaelic Warrior isn't he? In that he could go anywhere really and I reckon Willie will keep his options open for as long as possible. Top top class horses can go any trip. I think if he goes chasing, which at the min is not certain but likely, Willie will use him to plug the biggest gap he has at the time, be it Arkle or Browns. Would favour the Arkle because he has the pace and I think the Browns could be quite attricional, not sure Willie would want to subject him to that, but the flip side is if he wants a Gold Cup horse the shorter trip is going to make his keenness worse. It was the Turners all over, Willie cant be happy about that. I suspect we wont be close to knowing the answer until after the DRF. In short I dont know🤣
      All the best Mark and good luck.

      Have had a little bit on all of his options Ballyburn Steve but that is it no more can't be doing it.Wondered what you thought of these thoughts Croke Park for the 4 miler? and could Slade's Steel, Waterford Whispers, Peaky Boy be great shouts for the Turners.? On the Line is my big fancy again this year a bad ride last year😂( love this gutsy sod gives everything) no markets yet for Hunters only unibet can't get on there good luck for the Christmas period Steve.

    • @smoking_cheltenham
      @smoking_cheltenham  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Croke Park Browns/4 miler. Gordon or Gavin will win the new 4 miler I reckon but Gordon in particular will have loads of options there. I really like him and hope he's a bit better than a handicapper, blood in both nostils last time sounds a note of caution going forward though.
      I really like the look of Waterford Whispers for that new Turners, Slade Steel I think Arkle/Browns and Peaky Boy Turners/Browns, prob Browns. He could be very good.
      Been on Its On The Line last 2 years so maybe 3rd time lucky.
      All the best Mark and good luck

    Hi Steve, just two thoughts.With your tip for the Troytown coming early,did they exploit that and tipped up by another podcast, and Jack put the icing on the cake with his words on AM. Keep your tips closer to the day. Watch out for Willie Mullins or any trainer trying to exploit the new rule and run early and often to qualify, and hiding their true potential. The best podcast out there by far.

      @@crazyhorse562 cheers mate appreciate that. Not sure if anyone really pays that much attention to me, there's lots of tips and opinions out there I guess I'm just another part of the noise.
      Think you make a good point about the early runs to qualify, definitely something to look out for.
      Cheers Crazy and all the best.

      @@thomdidikai3323 Cheers mate, not sure about brilliant, there's a lot of smart people around I'm sure others must have spotted it too. I'll take it though🤣 thanks. I'm a big fan of these stone bruises! They might be pushing their luck a bit though, dont think they'll do it more than another once or twice before leaving it alone until next season and Down Royal again.
      Yea I wouldn't be certain about Gaelic in the King George myself, at the same time though I wouldn't be at all surprised if he goes there and wins it. Whatever happens there though if thats were he goes I do hope and think he can come back to 2m in the Champion and take that out. Willie's already said he could switch between distances no problem, top class horses can do that and although it doesn't happen as much as it used to I dont think it would bother him in the slightest.
      All the best mate and good luck

    I'm on The Yellow Clay for the Albert Bartlett ante post at 33/1 he has been to Cheltenham before when he ran in the Champion Bumper and ran ok but for you saying he is not a horse for you at Cheltenham is very strange he has won 2 races over hurdles very easily and the lawlors of naas Grade 1 race is this horses next target and i'm confident he will win or even run very well in the Albert Bartlett in my opinion i've got the value at 33/1 and i'm happy the yellow clay is the likely winner of the Albert Bartlett in my opinion.

      @@MarkSmith-tm1eh Hi mark. You've a great price there. I dont know find it hard to articulate exactly, just seems a bit flash for an Albert Bartlett to me but not flash enough for the shorter races, kind of inbetweeny, and not sure if he'll be as good on Winter ground. I do really like the horse though, he's clearly talented, improving and we dont know his ceiling yet.
      I get loads of stuff wrong and 33/1 is a lovely ticket for him.

    Anyone who thinks they have found one for Cheltenham needs to hold their horses before getting too excited for 2 reasons.1 the going as been good and that might not be the case in march. 2. Horses are not machines but Willie Mullins is a machine and until he puts his cards on the table the picture can’t be painted. Keep the videos coming. 🐎❤️🐎
