John Phelan sums up the sporting archive view from Cheltenham 2021.
Our list of horses to follow at Cheltenham, which by error was minus Min and Abacadabras, meant that, if we included them both, we had 38 runners at Cheltenham this year.
Nine won, Appreciate It 8/11, Shishkin 4/9, Honeysuckle 11/10, Black Tears 12/1, and Galvin 7/2 on the Tuesday, Monkfish 1/4, Put the kettle on 12/1, and Tiger Roll 5/1 on the Wednesday, zero winners on the Thursday, but Minella Indo at 9/1 on the Friday.
We appreciate that sometimes you have to back 4/5 horses in a race, but there is no law against it, and a £1 win on every horse would have returned a profit of £13.80.
Guest pundit Alan Adamthwaite flagged up Honeysuckle 11/10, Galvin 7/2, Sky Pirate 14/1, Quilixios 2/1, The Shunter 5/2 and Colreevy 9/4.
