Cheltenham Festival 2024 Review

An outstanding week in terms of the racing and punting. Some lovely ante post bets landed, on top of the significant stats helping to find more winners.

Tuesday:

There were 14 sig stats on Tuesday and 13 were upheld, the only one not upheld was in the Arkle with the winner not being LTO 1-2. The sig stats helped narrow down the fields and Slade Steel, State Man, Lossiemouth and Corbetts Cross were all highlighted in terms of meeting them. Gaelic Warrior was highlighted as meeting 4/5. Away from the sig stats on Tuesday, the general stats pointed to Chianti Classico and Irish Point with the former winning nicely and the latter running a fine race to be second in the Champion Hurdle.

Wednesday:

7/11 sig stats were upheld with the Champion Chase being the race which let them down with Captain Guinness's win. Away from that, Ballyburn, Fact to File, Langer Dan and Sa Fureur EW were all highlighted as having strong profiles. 

Thursday:

10/12 sig stats were met on what is usually a tough day punting. The blog and stats did highlight Grey Dawning, Protektorat, Monmiral and Teehupoo as having excellent profiles and all duly obliged and some at big prices! I will admit that Monmiral was the one that got away and I did not have a penny on. Golden Ace, the winner of the Mares Novice did meet 3/4 and in hindsight should have been an EW play on the day as he did meet one of the strong stats which is a winner over 18f+ and I must make a note of that for next year.

Friday:

A cracking day for ante post bets and the sig stats. Ante post bets landed on Stellar Story, Limerick Lace, Better Days Ahead and Majbororugh and 8/8 sig stats were upheld. Galopin Des Champs and Better Days Ahead were highlights, indeed the stats pointed to three of the first four in the Marin Pipe. The County Hurdle winner, Absurde, met the high sig stat and that stat is looking strong moving on to next year.

Once again, thank you for taking the time out to read the blog and for some of the lovely DMs on Twitter. Next stop Aintree. Be lucky.
