Cheltenham Festival

I know it's still 4 months away,but I really like one for The Gold Cup.Flemenstar is about a 9/1 poke and made a superb start to this seasons
campaign.He beat Big Zeb over an inadequate 2 miles at Navan.This is a serious horse,he is a huge specimen and being a 7 year old has bags of improvement to come.Getting the distance is an unknown but he's trainer is confident he will.He is entered in The Lexus Chase over 3 miles in
December.If he is successful the odds will tumble,there is no Kauto Star or Denham to worry about,Long Run doesn't look the same horse of
a couple of years back.Sir Des Champs is prone to errors and to be honest it doesn't look a particularly strong renewal.
The last ante- post bet I had was Sprintre Sacre at 8/1 for lasts years Arkle,lets hope Flemenstar can also oblige.
I will keep backing him with small amounts every weekend until he runs in The Lexus and that will build a decent pot on him.

Flemenstar was very impressive at Puncestown on Sunday.
It's top priced now at 13/2 with Sportingbet,4/1 with Ladbrokes.
I'm very bullish about this horse,it looks a natural over fences with a high cruising speed.

I won't make it this year but always enjoy the build up and speculation and hope we can win some Big Bucks again!

Big Bucks injured:(

Sad news, maybe one hurdle too far in a stunning career.
