In the biggest race today, I believe that, good as Binocular is, the overnight rain will make the final hill hard work and the front-running Osana gets my vote. This was the day I used to visit Cheltenham, to see Istabraq's great victories in the Champion Hurdle.
I shall be interested to see how many punters use Twitter over the next four days: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=cheltenham
The more disciplined and sober may use this tag: http://hashtags.org/tag/Cheltenham
