On Wednesday we gave you some inside information as to what bets were being placed on the Cheltenham Festival throughout the offices at Victoria Park.

We let you know for just a bit of fun - but we actually did ok, backing a 14/1 second place and a 66/1 second place.

So, we figured we'd try our luck again today and there are a few horses that caught our eye in the earlier races on the card.

1.30 The Vicar (18/1)
It's got the word 'Vic' included in there so by our logic that gives it a chance of winning!

2.05 Blue Shark (25/1)
The word 'blue' is what you've got to concentrate on here. And at 25/1 we're going each-way on this race.

2.40 Our Vic (7/1)
The obvious choice in the 2.40 - there's no doubt this one will romp home.

And if we do well today then you might see us back tomorrow helping you win big on the Gold Cup!
