  • Cheers chaps,
    2nd for the 3rd year running but we were well behind the winner so no complaints (from me!). Delighted to find 3 of the first 6, that the 2 Welsh boys did themselves justice and, especially, that Swing Bill justified my model's rating (more or less) - the lone voice of support in the wilderness.
    Will give a more detailed review later.

    How do you feel about the ride on Cappa Bleu? He used to do it on state of play too, leave it well too late when the horse is clearly full of running still
  • Yeahhhh 3pts. Great stuff.
    I know he does it year after year but I think Moloney does well to get them into a rhythm early. Don't know if he got into trouble this time (which is always the danger) but you want the jock to ride in the style most suiting the horse. He would have won if there hadn't been a lightly-weighted long-shot bolting up. No complaints from me but I'd like to review the race in more detail when I get the chance.
  • Your top man peanut

    I Don't think I will get many pennies back but you made the day more enjoyable with your picks

    Let my daughter pick the horses for all the other races

    So far

    3rd x 3
    2nd x1

    Two to go still
  • Best news of all. Seems like all 40 horses returned safe and (hopefully) sound. I think all 40 got over Bechers which (if so) is amazing.

    You should get back £11 (being 2x22/4) plus £2 stake = £13
  • What do you reckon that horse is worth now, having won the national? Harvey |Smith said they only paid £9,000 for it!

    Blimey, the team done good, even "slow as a hearse" Tarquinius (will have to work out the time-adjusted ground for the new distance but seemed to the naked eye not to be as fast as last year - thankfully).

    Cappa Bleu 2nd
    T43 3rd
    Swing Bill 6th
    Tarquinius 8th
    Major Malarkey 11th
    Join Together 12th

    Will take some figuring out where the winner came from (stats-wise) but pretty happy with the general workings of the model.
  • Only link i can see is the 2nd in the Scottish National
  • What a day. 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th all 2.50 each way plus &420 on the tricast as I did it for 5p. Then I find out we win in the last minute !!

    Thank you Peanuts for the 2nd and 3rd.
  • Thanks Peanuts. You are the man!!
  • £85 in the betfair account. Cheers PM!

    Been shocking in 7 races since, including an F and UR. Obviously relishes the better ground but may be scratching my head for a while on this one.
  • Damn it, got a splinter!

  • Many thanks to all you chaps (and ladies if applicable) for your confidence.
    Sorry we didn't hit the big one but delighted that most everyone made a profit to some degree.

    You got the winner! Blimey, well done mate. What's the secret? ........and what are your lottery numbers?
  • A girl I know picked the winner because her partner's mother is Mrs Smith. May as well give up.
