Cheltenham Festival Day 3 Review
Paisley Park Not Going Anywhere
Normally the day that some people say you can avoid at Cheltenham. Are they mad? A cracking day of racing saw some really super action and some outstanding performances by horses and jockeys alike.
The top end of the market continued where it left off from the day before. Defi Du Seuil won a cracking battle with Lostintranslation to take the opener. Favourite backers would have taken an early lunch after the next when Sire Du Berlais just defied Tobefair in the Pertemps.
It was the performance of Paisley Park though that will keep long in the memory however. This horse can literally stay all day and a cracking training performance by Emma Lavelle, riden by husband Aiden Coleman who took him home in style.
We couldn’t leave out another cracking performance by our tipsters selection that was stated here in our preview. Aso a game runner up in the Novices chase was a 33/1 e/w selection for us, which now leaves a level stakes profit of +22 for the week.
We move on to the Gold Cup on Friday, our selection Native River looking to make it back to back victories.
