Cheltenham Festival Gold Cup & Ryanair Preview, Willie Mullins' Form & More | 25/1 & 20/1 Tips

[@bendavies4326]

Watch probably about 10 racing podcasts a week. This is the best one

[@prometheus9715]

Obviously, your Irish. I have never seen a show that comes out with so much bull because a UK horse wins. We knew the excuse Energumene past it card would be played if beaten. Even the Henderson Triumph hope that was impressive they had to throw negatives about that.

[@stevemoulton7477]

​@@prometheus9715bizarrely i find myself agreeing with both of you. It is a great show Ben....and the Cheltenham handicaps absolutely had to change after Mullins won festival handicaps with State Man and Galopin. How anyone can criticize Skelton after that level of skullduggery is ridiculous.

[@bendavies4326]

@@prometheus9715 I’m from the Midlands, been to Punchestown a few times and will be again this year after Cheltenham. I don’t really understand this over the top rivalry to be honest. I enjoy the UK vs Irish competition but couldn’t care less if I back a winner and it’s from Afghanistan. These lads watch a lot more Irish racing than me so I find it helpful in case I miss a couple of horses.

Imagine having a pint with these 3, it would be brilliant. 😅

[@deanryan1259]

He's right when he doesn't even watch the races.... That's how good I am lads. 😎

A quite enjoyable show as ever gentlemen. Tony and Diarmuid are fountains of knowledge as they always are, albeit Diarmuid we will have to forgive you the age error for Galopin. I am listening to you for 7 or 8 years so I can forgive you this rare error. Tony 's stats on Willie Mullins were illuminating and something you just don't get on other tipping shows which are all shouting and bravado. This is the best show there is out there in horse racing in my opinion and I am enjoying it. Will you continue for the flat?

[@Jay-g2u]

Always a great day when I see you three boys on my screen

[@stevemoulton7477]

Glad you mentioned Velvet Elvis Dermo....i was a bit worried when Tony went through everything else and didnt give him a mention!

Thought we had it Steve 🙈

@@diarmuidnolan5695 great run, they were well clear just bumped into one too good.

[@NickPalfrey8]

Espoir D''Allen was the fav in that Farclas/Mr Adjudicator Spring Juvvie race at Leop.

[@grahamwilshaw3507]

Cass, one of the best bets I ever did was a 100/1 shot, Busselton in the Turners that Galopin fell. Looked at the market 2 weeks before and thought it would cut up to 4/5 runners so did a small EW NRNB with the 3 places. Told all the mates and they got on too. Only 4 ran, Galopin fell so only 3 home (busselton ended up a distance 2nd to Bob). 20/1 a place 100% LOL 🤣

[@stephencass2421]

Would you believe I did the very same bet. Captain Guinness in the Arkle the previous year was 50/1 with the same angle. Came 3rd of 5.

[@grahamwilshaw3507]

@ class. Love those muggy bets when you know the field will cut up. Might catch ya for a pint some day. We have a mutual friend in PP towers whose first name rhymes with Tank...and he kinda looks like one 🤪😂😂

[@paulofarranti2540]

Good show as always but when did Galopin turn 10? 😂

[@patrickconneely190]

Great show

[@saskew8573]

They should make the pipe for novices only - just three runs required. And they can already run from May the previous year so 5 runs is very possible without the need to run them every month from October.

[@cyrilreaney7532]

Great show....forget where horses are trained and focus on getting winners.

[@trevorclarke6956]

Can someone please tell me, "Is Kom tu voudras running this year .

[@michaelcorcoran2435]

Stephen you were giving that whiskey some home. Yellow Spot? ;)

[@stephencass2421]

WD O'Connell 20yr. My cousin makes it. A fine drop.

[@saskew8573]

Mullins has been buying more French horses from the juvenile, flat and french bumper races that's why.

[@thecritic81]

Having listened to Kevin Blake I backed Karg not to win at 6/4

[@alankeane5595]

If I new he was running in the gold Cup il est francaise 25 s looks huge, if facter file don't run it'll be a disaster.

[@luked5678]

Where is Khrisma 25/1 NRNB?

[@stephencass2421]

Hills. Still there now.

[@BernardMcKey]

Monte Star EW Nothing will beat Galopin Des Champs

[@prometheus9715]

The most biased show on the planet, it is what it is. What i find hilarious is moaning about the handicap rules.No mention when future grade one winners are winning such handicaps. The majority of Irish handicap winners at Cheltrnham leave a sour taste when winning.Yet you lot hail it as genius where, in reality, it's cheating. Skelton does it, and he's the devils spawn. Respect the horse and performance regardless of who trains them and where they are trained.

[@madforit2]

Galopin Des Champs is a 9 year old, not 10

[@diarmuidnolan5695]

Yes, and apologies. Silly error. He's been around so long I would've put money on him being 10.

[@stephencass2421]

Did Dermo say that? I can't believe I missed the opportunity to pull him up on that one.

[@madforit2]

@@diarmuidnolan5695 no problem. Just if you were factoring in age as one of your criteria against GDC i would be concerned if he was 10 but 9 is no worries at a 3 mile distance

[@diarmuidnolan5695]

​@@madforit2yeah! I was more making the point about all these runs, but I definitely won't mention his age again 😂 Thanks again
