Cheltenham 2021 – Day Three Diary
I am tracking my results from this year’s Cheltenham festival here on the blog and the first two days went very well, with a profit made on both days.
On to day three then and there were some cracking races on the card today.
Just a reminder that I am 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, this 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 Three Results
After a good start on the first two days with a profit of £60, I was hoping to continue the progress today.
So here are my results from Thursday at Cheltenham – it was a bit of a role reversal for the tipsters with the Bet Alchemist finally joining the party today. My stakes were £20 per point once again.
1.55 – Pertemps Network Final
With no bets in the first race from either tipster things got going in the 1.55 with two tips from the Bet Alchemist. Both of the selections placed – with The Bosses Oscar second and Dandy Meg seventh – which provided a payout for me using Skybet although with other bookies paying just six places it might not have been for everyone.
Profit/Loss from Race: +£27
2.30 – Ryanair Chase
Just the one bet in this race and that came from the Bet Alchemist, but sadly it was pulled up so no return.
Profit/Loss from Race: -£20
3.05 – Paddy Power Stayers Hurdle
Quentin had two ante-post tips in the race. One was a non-runner, so depending on when you backed it you might have got your stake back, whilst his other tip Paisley Park finished third.
Profit/Loss from Race: -£50
3.40 – Paddy Power Plate Handicap
No bets from Quentin on this one but two from the Bet Alchemist, with one placing at 13/2 in the form of Farclas whilst the other selection Happy Diva finished down the field.
Profit/Loss from Race: -£18
4.15 – Mares Novices Hurdle
The Bet Alchemist then followed it up with their first winner of the week in the next race with Telmesomethinggirl absolutely romping home for Rachael Blackmore at 13/2.
Profit/Loss from Race: +£84
4.50 – Kim Muir Challenge Cup Handicap Chase
The Bet Alchemist had two more selections in this race and they both finished in the places, wrapping up a much better day for him.
Profit/Loss from Race: +£35
TOTAL PROFIT/LOSS FROM THE DAY: +£58
So a decent day in the end with more profit made, which you can’t complain about really.
The festival wraps up tomorrow with the feature race being the Gold Cup, so let’s hope for more of the same and to finish off a profitable week in style.
Enjoy the last day of the festival though wherever you are and I hope you’ve had a good week too.
