Carl Harris @ Cheltenham
What a brilliant day at Cheltenham, working for SunTalk radio. I had the pleasure of speaking to some of the biggest names in racing, not least AP McCoy.
He told us he had a great chance and duely won the Ryanair Chase on Albtertas Run. Albertas Run, the Jonjo O’Neill-trained winner of the 2008 RSA Chase, has struggled for consistency throughout his career but is never better than on drying ground and his abundance of stamina proved superior in the two-mile-five-furlong showpiece. McCoy was brilliant again! Poquelin was second, my bet in the race.
We also spoke to Racing UK pundit Graham Cunningham, Ferdy Murphy, Denis O’Regan, Claude Charlet and we had Clare Balding, Ally McCoist and former World Darts Champion Denis Priestley. It was a brilliant day. But what we needed, what i needed was a big winner.
We got back in the game with a huge win for Big Bucks today at Cheltenham, what a day it was! The bookies went 5/6 on Big Bucks a horse that was trading at long odds on all winter. Step up Ruby Walsh and Big Bucks.
And the crowd saved their biggest cheer of the week for the staying hurdle champion as he followed up his win of 12 months ago to maintain his unbeaten record over timber in Britain.
Bookies are claiming day three to them;
Now its the Gold Cup on Friday. Its Kauto Star and Big Bucks. We have said all that needs to be said, now we need a good price! Its Kauto Star all the way for me! Kauto Star will win the Gold Cup!
Kauto Star to Win!
