In Cheltenham have tickets for all 4 days, but have been pretty ill, hoping to go on Thurs/Fri but not sure yet. Tickets going free. DM for telephone number and
address to pick up very central. Tuesday Tats £50 ticket Wednesday Club £70 ticket. Not bothered about money, just glad I am improving at last!

Fiso League currently holds 82 entries.

I thought previously we got 2 selections per race in the DT game, or am I getting confused?

yes we did, new interface as well which is quicker.

That was the British Champions game. Cheltenham has always been 1 horse per race

This is tough, Any tips on picking more winners

[bloggie]

I missed the first two races and am 4th in Fiso league. Mainly getting one big priced placed horse can do this so aim at this each race. Presumably you have the Mullins-Walsh duo.

[jimwinn]

Yes -avoid betting on most races at meeting like this one. This and the Grand National Metting are minefields for the casual punter. The hype is annoying and misleading - every race is 'bigged up' like the prem on Sky.

Don't believe the hype and keep stakes low

[ooozzzie]

Looks like Ruby is out then.
