Cheltenham Day 1 Round Up - 14 March

OK - so I'm in the same hotel room with the same taxi driver as we had two years ago(Trevor - I've mentioned him before!) .....the two years ago when I made quite a profit on the 4 days here and when Peddler's Cross won the Neptune in style.

The lull before the storm at 12:30 on Tuesday


I often wonder if the bloke that I tipped that to the night before and who looked down his nose at me (a mere 'female') and replied "Peddler's Cross? Oh no..no no" ever looked back at that.  
I doubt it.




13:28pm Tuesday 13 March






Well Tuesday was saved by my daughter 
can you believe?  Her interest in racing extends to dressing up, looking for dinner plates for hooves when the going is heavy and.....Jason Maguire.  It was the last of these that worked the magic today.  


"I'll put a £10 bet on for you, what do you want to back?"
"Whichever horse has the best chance that Jason Maguire is riding"
"Okies"
"..........thinks.............Cinders And Ashes then"   




Take Your Pick - which would you like?
Prettiest? 
Biggest?  

Smallest and goldiest? 

Off now for drinkies, schmoozing, info gleaning (and apparently!) photography lessons.......more in the morning!
