Cheltenham Festival Bets - Thurs Mar 12 2025 (Day Three)

Blog Post Content

Post Body

After yesterday's trip to the seaside, returning to London at like 2am, am feeling better and may eyeball some All Weather racing later for the evening meetings at Chelmsford and maybe also Newcastle.

That said, I am still going to follow in National Hunt Racing Expert and Blogger Geedee over at PGTips for the last couple of days of Cheltenham.

I'm about even I think, after Gingko Blue winning yesterday in the 2:40. If you read my posts ever much, you'll know I don't go Each Way unless there's a full moon, so I've been going win only. I think that's like 6 bets out, 5.5 back with Jinko at S.P, 11 to Geedee's advised prices.

He has two for the day on Day Three >> You can read the full write up HERE >>
