What about my selection for friday?

[winsamsoon]

Fair play to u lads i love to see the bookie getting took out by the roots

[118cmal]

Had a Quevega and Fly double yesterday myself.  Great to see bookies getting a bit of a hammering after previous disastrous cheltenhams.

Any fancies today lads?  I'm thinking of Call The Police in the 4.00.

Also, I'd like to do a reverse forecast for the Queen Mother Chase at 3.20.  I just can't see Big Zeb or Master Minded being breached.  If the starting prices were 7/2 and 3/1 does anyone know roughly how much would be returned if they came in 1st and 2nd?  I've never placed this type of bet before.

Cheers

In normal run-of-the-mill meetings, you can treat it similiar to a double and that will give a rough estimate. So 17/1 - 18/1. There might however be a lot of people doing this bet because the two of 'em are clear at the head of the market and it's Cheltenham. So maybe 12/1-14/1.

In any case, I think it will take an effort on a par with his 2008 performance for Master Minded to be 1st on this kind of ground. In fact, I don't think he'll be in the first three.

The quote that I heard last night coming from Elliott's yard was
"This horse could fall down twice and still win"
He wasn't quiet that good, but a very sound winner.
I thought the price was short enough myself!! Small regret now though
