Cheltenham 2021 – Day Four Diary
On to the final day of this year’s Cheltenham Festival then, which was Gold Cup Day of course but there were plenty of other high quality races to enjoy too.
Just a reminder that I have been using a twofold strategy this week, which is:
1. To use all the bookies offers, brought together via Profit Maximiser; and
2. Use two of my favourite tipsters – Quentin Franks Racing and the Bet Alchemist – to find the best bets for Cheltenham. Both have excellent records at the festival so I am following their tips for the week.
By combining the above two together, it should give me a good chance of beating the bookies this week.
So how did this strategy get on today? Let’s have a look below.
Day Four Results
It’s been a decent week so far with a profit of £118 made to date, so let’s hope we can finish things off in style.
Here are my results from the final day of the Cheltenham festival. My stakes were £20 per point (or £10 each-way) once again.
1.20 – Triumph Hurdle
A tough start to the day with Quentin Franks’ ante-post pick Zanahiyr finishing in a disappointing fourth, despite having been backed in to an 11/8 favourite.
Profit/Loss from Race: £-40
1.55 – Handicap Hurdle
The Bet Alchemist had two picks in this race but both finished well down the field. A big shout-out to Loves Racing however who picked the winner Belfast Banter at a whopping 50/1, quite an achievement.
Profit/Loss from Race: -£40
2.30 – Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle
No luck in this race either unfortunately as Ngolo from the Bet Alchemist was never really in the frame and Quentin’s ante-post pick was a non-runner.
Profit/Loss from Race: -£40
3.05 – Gold Cup
Finally a winner on the day as the Bet Alchemist’s pick Minella Indo stormed home to win the Gold Cup in style. Quentin’s pick Santini was pulled up unfortunately.
Profit/Loss from Race: +£76
3.40 – Hunter’s Chase
Another placed finish from the Bet Alchemist with Latenightpass coming in fourth at 20/1, whilst their other pick It Came to Pass was seventh. Agonisingly, Quentin’s tip Billaway was just beaten by a short head into second in a titanic battle to the line with Purlock Bay.
Profit/Loss from Race: -£30
4.50 – Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle
No bets in the 4.15 so it was on to the last race and unfortunately the Bet Alchemist’s tip Mill Green finished seventh, just missing out on a place at 33/1.
Profit/Loss from Race: -£20
TOTAL PROFIT/LOSS FROM THE DAY: -£94
A bit of a disappointing end to the week on the official bets, with a loss of £94 made on the day. The week still ended in a profit on the official bets though, with a profit of £24 made.
And my unofficial bets had an amazing week, with a 50/1 winner and two 33/1 successes. So I certainly can’t complain on a personal level.
The highlights of the festival for me were Rachael Blackmore’s amazing performances, plus of course Tiger Roll winning – what a horse!
So that’s Cheltenham over for this year anyway, another profitable and enjoyable week. Hope you had a successful week too!
