Cheltenham day one

A good start to the festival with my 14/1 suggestion Champagne Fever leading all the way in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle. The SP was just 5/1. Jezki finished third at the same price.

It's a shame that Zarkandar could only run fourth in the Champion Hurdle, upsetting the each-way bet with Paddy Power. At least Hurricane Fly won the race which means we get half our money back (four of the eight points staked) from Paddy.

Bog Warrior has been declared for the World Hurdle and despite the fact that the ground may not be soft enough for him, I can't let him go unsupported as I have such a high opinion of him.

1.5pts win Bog Warrior, World Hurdle @ 8/1 Paddy Power BOG, NRNB

Whatever wins the last the bookmakers have done their brains today. Some of the concessions were incredible, particularly the five places on each-way bets in the Supreme offered by William Hill.
