Sounds like it's been bouncing down all night at Aintree and hasn't stopped yet, so I might have to re-visit the 2.15 as Ivanovich is likely to be pulled if it's too heavy!

Fuck me that hos can not fucking jump! get him on the flat

 

[Bobbin']

Well, that was easy.

 

[spireite]

I'm really annoyed they let Ivanovic run there ffs, way too heavy for him, what's the point in running him for the sake of it

 

[spireite]

Cue card in easily at least. I love that animal. Barry geraghty could learn a lot from Paddy Brennan about how ride a horse

 

[Dave-Vale]

Cue Card, Annie and On The Fringe treble today. 3 fantastic horses.

Tomorrow you want Limini (now before the price comes in) and Vautour as a big win double.

 

[Bobbin']

Footpad was disappointing but thankfully Mendip Express placed to make it a profitable L15.

Nothing today I can back with any confidence other than the two Dave mentions above. Got £20 in free bets with SkyBet so might just use that to try and nick 30 quid.

only got beaten by 8 lengths

 

[Bobbin']

Bookies will love that.

 

[Magic]

Killer Crow in the Topham.

To be fair, anyone backing anything at 1/5 over fences is off their rocker.

C4 said someone had put £18k on Vautour, ouch.

Thanks. Now I have no house.

 

[Dave-Vale]

Awful day! Limini just never got going at all, didn't look bothered. Was up against better opposition than when it won at Cheltenham but it looked like a different horse today. Really awful.

As for Vautour, something strange about Ruby Walsh falling when riding massive favourites. Even more strange when you factor in the horse is essentially owned by the owner of BetBright.

 

[The Fack]

Gone for The Last Samuri in the National with Soll e/w.

 

[NorthernSoul]

Big betting on Shutthefrontdoor this morning gone from 20/1 to 12/1 second favourite, could start as favourite two years running if Many Clouds odds continue to drift.

 

[Magic]

Many Clouds to win. Done him and Kruzhlinin.

 

[appletablepenny]

£15 win Ucello Conti at 33/1 for me today. Not that you'd want to take any notice of what I backed, I've backed 2 National winners and 2 seconds in 30+ years.

 

[Dave-Vale]

The Last Samuri for £15 each way.

Smaller each ways on Morning Assembley, Shutthefrontdoor and Triolo D'alene.

I've had a decent day today. I haven't managed to get on here because I'm away with the fam. I had a couple of place money at Aintree, which just about balanced my day, but then I had a play on a couple of late races at Wolves studying the opening prices, drifts and form and saw a couple I didn't agree with the bookies on. Won a 7/2 and an 11/1 which won me about £150 to put a much better shine on the day. Aintree was a bit of a minefield. Can't see how anyone picked Rule The World. He's never won over hurdles, then turns up at the National and smashes it? Because it was so boggy it kinda ruined the race, and all the Irish stayers come to the fore. I was on Last Samuri, Saint Are and Kruzhlinin.

 

[Murphy]

Backed 5 horses on Saturday in the National, highest I had finished 5th with Goonyella My original favourite O'Faiolin's Boy pulled out which I was gutted about, fancied him for a few day so that threw a spanner in.

Had a rubbish 3 days really. Finished £25 down, all summed up by Bishops Road in the Topham who I stuck a fiver on only for him to fall at the first

 

[On_The_Piss_My_Lord]

Had a couple of nice knocks today, Dettori on a double, and the last race at Exeter

 

[Bobbin']

Vautor beaten by God's Own again yesterday at Punchestown.

Great horse, no doubt but maybe not quite the machine we first thought.
