I bet Callan couldn't believe his luck - winning doing cartwheels on a 50/1 shot, only to eventually find out that his ride on a horse that had next to no chance of winning actually cost him 12 days wages!
Anyone see Callan riding out a finish last night with a lap still to go? Absolute shocker.
No excuse for that. He had only been riding for a minute when he rode that finish. He must have known that it was a two mile race. Should have got more than 12 days in my opinion.
Becher Chase today at 2.05pm. Favourite GESSKILLE 11/2 (similar pedigree to Saint Are and Delta Work) is hard to oppose. Up 4lbs for just being just held on the nod in the Grand Sefton a month ago (also Good to Soft). There is some value with PERCUSSION 14/1 who's weighted to finish much closer to him on his 8L 3rd in that race, staying on well at the line (jumped beautifully). Also a nice looking, Aintree-suited pedigree. Enjoy.

I've had a very small punt on Captain Kangaroo cos it's trained by Gunboat Willie M and I like the name .. 'smokin cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo, don't tell me, I've nothing to do'
Facile Vega, last year's winner of the Cheltenham and Punchestown bumpers, just made his hurdles debut at Fairyhouse, winning hard held hy about a dozen kengths. Looks a real machine, just like his mum.

A win for Appleby and now O’Brien. Meditate was class.

He jumped superbly.
