The winner will be animal rights protestors. At least one horse will be fatally injured, resulting in the course being modified again. Repeat year after year until it becomes a handicap hurdle with 8 runners.

Just went on PP and Junior who I backed at 10/1 is now at 14s :frusty:

If he wins I won't be too bothered though.

I've now gone each way on Treacle at 20/1 and Calgary Bay at 33/1

I was also given a £5 free bet so I stuck that on West End Rocker to win at 12/1

Gonna be doing my usual ritual of placing £30 across 15 horses and sitting in front of the telly with a pen and notepad, frantically crossing the names off as each of my horses falls / dies.

Always manage to break even lol

Going for Hello Bud again this year. Legend.

pp is one the bookies who does guaranteed odds so if it wins at 14/1 you will get that.

You get best price on junior. If it starts at any higher than 10's you'll get paid out on that.

Seabass was 22/1 this morning. Now it's at half of that.

Think I've just about decided to go with Junior, West End Rocker, Giles Cross, Planet of Sound and Quiscover Fontaine from the sweep.

All a quid e/w. All probably subject to change by the time I leave the bookies later though!

Kid in a sweet shop springs to mind to discribe how I was in the bookies this morning, i've spread my money about lets put it that way.

My main money is for Synchronised, Seabass and West End Rocker with a few smaller bets for On His Own, The Midnight Club, Killyglen and Vic Venturi.

Also gone for a Lucky 15;

1.45 - Simonsig.

2.15 - Sprinter Sacre.

2.50 - Rock On Ruby.

3.25 - Chaptoturgeon.

Had a fiver each on

On His Own

Seabass

West End Rocker

Planet of Sound (E/W)

Ummed and ahhed about Junior, Killyglen and Giles Cross (I heard the ground was going against him) so one of them is bound to win!

£25 ew cappa bleu

£25 ew giles cross (going now a concern - bet put on earlier this week)

£5ew Killyglen (fell 4 out when travelling nicely last year - was thrown into the race with no prep, trainer didn't expect him to be in it. This year the horse has been prepped for it and the trainer is bullish about his chances)

£1ew West End Rocker (strongly fancied by myself last year but is carrying 7lbs more which is a concern)

£1ew on On His Own (I strongly fancied this and Cappa Bleu back in Jan but I've got some niggling doubts, my gut instinct now says no)

Posted

Ruby Walsh might not be riding On His Own, after a heavy fall (Zarkander literally fell on top of him in the last race), he is currently being assesed.

Confirmed, Paul Townend (Who was riding The Midnight Club) now rides On His Own and Andrew Tinkler comes in to ride The Midnight Club.

Posted

£4 on Treacle, State of Play and Always Right.

I have no ****ing clue if they're in form, any good or donkeys in disguise but I'll still be screaming at my telly like I do every year!
