Equinties - Cheltenham day 3

Gm Equinauts

Is the punters day 3 banker TEAHUPOO safe from the BET365 super boost curse today!?

Let’s dive in.

HEADINE ROUND UP

HENDO LANDING PUNCHES

It seems Nicky Henderson’s immediate post-race comments about taking Constitution Hill to Punchestown wasn’t just state-of-shock tripe, they’re really going!

Poor old Nicky, who really has been bang out of luck this week, confirmed to a lesser racing publication that the next big target for his superstar would be Punchestown, Ireland.

Boy, we can’t wait - we WILL be going!

MORE WINNERS THAN BIRTHDAYS

An amazing stat here - JP McManus has had more Cheltenham Festival winners than birthdays!

In the opening race of day 2, THE NEW LION sauntered clear ahead of THE YELLOW CLAY and FINAL DEMAN to landed the Skelton’s and JP the Turners.

We loved THE NEW LION yesterday and were so happy to see him win not just to shut up all those who called his Challow win worthless, but because it appears the tide might be turning.

For the last few years Ireland have dominated Cheltenham, but THE NEW LION now joins CONSTITUTION HILL and SIR GINO in the top ranks of British jumping who look unbeatable… so long as they jump! cough cough JONBON!
