Started of well but lost with Benie des dieux falling and Laurina finishing 4th. Would have had a big win if they came in. Not a big better so up for the day, was close to being so much better. 

Same for me, although my big win in the 1st race still gives me a healthy profit.

@TheBear did you back it? I had a fiver.

Did I ****! 

 

Didn't back it last year either. 

[The Bear]

These are always very good every year. Ruby always gets plenty of stick.

Cracking day. 4 miler at the end had it all. Including a 12/1 winner, to go with my 6/1 winner in the first and 7/1 winner in the mares. Ruby at the last in the mares was just like Annie Power a few years ago.

 

Had a lucky 15 each way with two winners and a place which paid nicely. 

 

Bookies absolutely laughing today.

Scandalous, ITV have taken Tenable and Tipping Point off for this crap. Not what I pay my licence fee for.

You only pay a licence fee for the BBC

The 5.30 one? If so, when they were 4 abreast going in to the final few fences was thrilling. Then the two pulled away and was still very exciting.

 

Apparently with Benie's fall, bookies saved £50m !!

No. Really? Well, I never knew that. Irony is obviously lost on some people here

tough day today.... could be another day for the bookies. Only nailed on is Altior and I cant imagine the average punter is going to be sticking money on it at 2/5

Got Battleoverdoyen in the first for skybets's money back if it loses offer, the crowd booster altior to win by x lengths and a small altior/tiger roll double.

 

Other than that I'm not getting involved. Minefield of a day imo.

I'm on Golvin in the first with Skybet and that's it so far. I fancy Urgent de Gregaine to turn over Tiger Roll in the cross country.

Then this as an e/w lucky 15

Yes mate. 

 

No surprise there, was perhaps the third biggest banker of the week after Altior & Sir Erec.

A lot of people will have it in multiples. There’ll be some people sticking £500 on to win an easy £200 I’m sure, but like you say the average punter won’t be backing it on the nose. 

[The Bear]

I've had a couple in each race today. The larger priced one e/w.

 

1.30 Brewinupastorm, Battleoverdoyen

2.10 Topofthegame, Delta Work

2.50 Uradel, Cracking Smart

3.30 Min, Hell's Kitchen

4.10 Tiger Roll, Amazing Comedy 

4.50 Ciel De Neige, Dogon

5.30 Blue Sari, Ask For Glory

[The Bear]

Could easily be the day Altior gets cracked. Soft ground, and his jumping has been a little erratic. 

 

Ruby will probably jump off Min at some point though... 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Pfffft. Rubbish. Ain't getting involved too much today.

[StanSP]

What a snatch from William Henry there at the end. Wicklow Brave so close as well. 

 

[ScouseFox]

twenty quid on william henry will do nicely.  flew up the hill, no idea how it caught wicklow brave from the last. 

 

if i had any balls i’d dump the lot on altior. but i don’t so yano. 

[StanSP]

Closer than expected for Altior! 

[ScouseFox]

fair f ucks, what a horse 

[Bert]

Elliott without a winner still, this is his best chance in the next but can see Tiger Roll being turned over. 

 

What a horse Altior is by the way. Had a little sniff on Politologue w/o fav as well as Altior in all sorts of multiples so happy days. 

[SAFC1]

That’s absolutely superb from Tiger Roll. 

[Osavo]

Tiger Roll, what a horse. Small but mighty.

[tylesta]

had tiger roll over 4 lengths ? some horse
