We placed one further bet this morning on Dynaste who we backed in the “Without Big Bucks” market in the World Hurdle.
Dynaste ran a lifeless race. The horse was shaken up far too early on the first circuit. We were able to grab a quick word with connections after the race who said that Dynaste didn’t travel and was beaten after a mile. Dynaste is going to be tested once back at the stables.
It’s a shame that we didn’t get a run for our money. I’m certain the horse would have been in the top 4 if only repeating this season’s form. Even more annoying is that we called it right with Oscar Whiskey who didn’t get up the hill.
Next up was Salut Flo, our largest bet for some time. I’ll be honest, confidence had dipped slightly because of way the Pipe horses had ran with Grand Crus also well below par.
Thankfully we had no worries as Salut Flo never saw another rival. He led from start to finish, running his rivals ragged whilst landing a huge gamble for the yard and a great bet for us. The horse did indeed have pounds in hand; the Pipe yard was right when saying only had to jump round to win.
After the bad luck spell of Sizing Europe, and a few other horses, not running their races, it was good to get a strong winner on the board with 20 plus points won.
Cape Tribulation won, mentioned in the just info. The horse was backed from 20-1 into 14-1. Bellflower Boy also ran well but did need riding along from the start. It appeared that he didn’t pick up when on the bit but made plenty of ground up late to finish a solid 7th.
Cheltenham Festival 2011 Review

With the Cheltenham Festival now over we now have a spare few minutes to reflect on how we did at the best race meeting of the year….
BetterTipster has a fantastic record at the Cheltenham Festival, in fact its 100% since we started this service and we’ve never failed to make less than 20pts profit.
So, did we keep our record? Did clients clean up again? Well, the answer is a very clear YES. Following our staking plan members made upwards of 30pts profit.
This success was down to the likes of Sizing Europe, who we backed antepost at 10/1, Go All The Way, E/W at 33/1 in the bumper which paid 8/1 for the place. Big Bucks was also a strong bet. See below what members were told about Sizing Europe:
“I’ve no idea why they tried this horse over three miles, it was certainly a bizarre decision. Remember his solid victory in last year’s Arkle, on drying ground, where he jumped like a stag? When running left-handed Sizing Europe’s form reads 2113110511. We feel it’s suitable to ignore his last four runs as they have been on right-handed tracks. He’s now back to his optimum trip and for the first time since his Arkle victory a left handed track where he should show some sound quick jumping. As a result we feel that he is excellent E/W value at 10/1.
Sizing Europe jumped his rivals ragged and won very easily landing a super bet for members.
We also pointed members in the direction of Junior, Won 5/1, Bensalem, Won 5/1, Sir Des Champs, Won 7/1; all of which were at the big prices before being gambled on heavily each to win at much shorter odds.
Another Great Cheltenham for BetterTipster.. Bring on Cheltenham 2012!

Today was another good day; Big Bucks bringing home another five points for us. The other jockeys tried everything that they could in order to get Big Bucks beaten going a really slow pace. Big Bucks did it the hard way just about making all.
I knew when he was jumping the last that our money was safe as nothing passes Big Bucks on the run in. He just does enough each time. In fairness Grand Crus ran well, but he never looked like beating our selection. Big Bucks was the short priced cert of the meeting, just like last year and the year before that.
The day was made even better following the success of our ‘Just Info’. From what I can tell at this early stage, plenty of you had a good bet on Plato who landed a nice touch for the Henry Cecil yard. I could not account bet this horse with it being the amateur that it is, but Lorna Fowler gave the horse a great ride, hands and heels, getting the job done nicely.
Junior also landed a huge gamble for the Pipe yard; 6/1 into 100/30 and won by half the track. Kalahari King finished second, maybe given a bit too much to do, but with Bensalem winning our money was returned on the Lucky 15.
We are also really pleased that some members have won good money from the multiple bets. If you had Sizing Europe, Big Bucks, Bensalem & Peddlers Cross then well done! All our antepost bets have now run, so at this moment in time we just have the one bet left that was sent this afternoon.

One account bet placed today in the form of a 1pt E/W double.
The Newbury meeting was bit of a farce as thick fog hit the track, so it’s not easy to give full details on the race. First up was Megastar who was heavily backed into 2/1. Megastar ran a solid race and finished second after Harry Skelton stole the race riding Rock On Ruby. Kicking for home early allowed him to get an unsalable lead. Megastar chased hard and finished well, clear of the 3rd horse, but the jockey won this race. The E/W part of the bet was ok so at this point we faced no problems.
Then we needed For Non Stop to be placed and he unfortunately finished 4th. Non Stop jumped into the lead at three out and cleared the last, running level with Backspin around 5-6 lengths clear of the field and it looked a two horse race and a certainty to be placed. Our selection then just stopped out of the race on the run in and finishing very tired.
It looks like the winner, Backspin, is a good animal and Non Stop used too much energy trying to keep up with him from three out. Either way our selection finished 4th and our E/W double lost. Bit of a setback but we only lost out at minimum stakes and there is plenty of time left in the week.
One piece of good news was the running of the main ‘rivals’ against Big Bucks today. Restless Harry & Duc De Regniere are another two that can be taken out of the World Hurdle betting. A fit Bensalem will beat both of these horses easily. The World Hurdle is a two horse race come March; I can’t see Bensalem being out of the top three.
Cheltenham – Day 3 Review.

We had two more ante-post selections run yesterday for BetterTipster clients. We started by cheering on Poquelin in the Ryanair Chase. We backed this horse at 4/1 a couple of weeks ago. Today the horse was gambled on heavily and returned an SP of 11/4. The horse ran a great race and finished second, it really did look like we would be collecting again. A mistake at the last sealed our fate and unfortunately Poquelin finished second. Once again another of our ante-post selections ran a cracker.
Our 2nd bet was not original by any means. However, I had strong faith and hence made Big Bucks the banker bet of the meeting. We have been following this horse closely in recent weeks. We never had any doubt about this horse, it my cert of the festival. Big Bucks delivered with an amazing performance. It only took a shake of the reigns and the horse won with any amount in hand.
This added to our previous profits made on Days 1 and 2 of the festival.
We were still not quite finished. We had late news of a horse that was expected to go close at a huge price. This was not an account bet, but was passed on to members as just Info. The horse was Faasel running in the Kim Muir with 28 runners. We were informed the horse had been working very well at home. It was the first run for the David Pipe stable after a long layoff. At the time of emailing the horse was 28/1. Faasel ran a fantastic race and just got tipped for the win by a nose. A stride after the line and we were in front. Regardless it is good to get so close to a huge winner.
So what does today have in store? Well, we have our final two ante-post bets running. No matter what the result we will have finished with huge profits once again. The Cheltenham festival is a strong point for us and despite its difficulty we do make large profits. How many other Tipping Services can deliver this?
