    Liking Hadrians Approach of his current mark and has won this before. Ground should be in his favour

    I hope Drop Out Joe will give us a good run for our money.

    If you go to back a certainty always buy a return ticket.

    Look out for me at Sandown guys, I’ll be the one with my mate in the middle of the course smoking spliffs between races and up against the inside rail at the finishing line

    Not a shred of market confidence behind Sausolito Sunrise. You would think he would be half the current price if at all fancied. Probably towel being thrown in at early stage scenario.

    I’ll give Oscar Rock another chance in the hope he stays

    Cheers Raymo, you can include Bobby in that as well, he’s followed him over
    a cliff just like me all year.

    I don’t think I’ve ever been nearer to having a heart attack than I was at
    that finish. I had a decent bet on him that made up for the disappointments
    earlier in the year.

    I had said earlier in the thread that I wished more would price him up for next
    year’s National, Bet365 were the only firm pricing him at that time. I think he
    has National written all over him and I think that’s why the Waley-Cohen’s bought
    him to give Sam the chance to finally win the National. Bet365’s site went down
    just before the race but thankfully Betfred also quoted him at 33/1. I had a decent
    bite at that just at the off. That has gone down to 20/1 but Paddy Power stand 33/1
    as we speak. Anyone interested in that should get their skates
    on.

    What a cracking day :yahoo:

    Just like to say that I was unsure what to back in this race. After reading VTC’s fine opening post, I took his views of The Young Master on board and backed him. I’m now £40 better off!

    Cheers Venture To Cognac. Wish you all the best that life has to offer and good fortune :good:

    Well done all who backed TYM. Super ride from SW-C keeping him in the first 4 all the way. The horse just kept pulling out more when maybe looked beat. Luckily I put him in my Lucky 15 and backed Saint Are EW. With the 3 other winners at Sandown this netted me just over a grand. I knew he’d won but you always have that nagging doubt until the official result is announced. This should just about see me through the Flat season B-)

    It’s funny how this horse cost me when he “won” the Badger Ales and along with Menorah who I seemed to never catch right have more than made up for this :good:

    Thanks Joe, I had to hold my breath at the death…..what a finish. Feeling a bit
    the worse for wear this morning, but got to get the dogs out for their walk anyway so
    it should blow the cobwebs away.

    “Near the head of the market, is the Neil Mulholland trained The Young Master. I’ve went on and on about this horse a lot on here, and I just think he’s got plenty to offer for races like this. Looked to be destined for the top, until given a strange ride in last years RSA. Took him a while to get going this time around, but was much like his old self at Cheltenham, and after a strange campaingn, he looks the obvious type for this, and I’m surprised he’s not shorter. 14’s looks very big. He was a surprising absentee from the entries for The Grand National, and he’s my idea of the winner of next years race, along with the Peter Bowen trained,” Quote VTC

    Great stuff Bob.You deserved that.

    be a pretty damn good Saturday for quite a few of us……. a great way to wrap up the jumps season :good:
