I sound a bit like TAPK today but we saw the Real deal there always travelling and traded at 7/4 for bloody ages incredibly,who was it that said it was like picking money off the floor! Gold Cup horse for sure!
Anyone who reads my rubbish will be saying now he’s on ‘Albertas Run’ in the next! Well he owes me nothing and I’ll cheer him home if my bet looks beat but I’m going for the aptly named
Wishful Thinking
,this fellow destroyed ‘Medermit’ around here a year ago,not many horses do that,if this fellow is back to his best he’ll surprise a few folk today 12/1 is too big!
Well what surprised me was Dickies Tactics there on
Wishful Thinking
,I was expecting a trail blazing front running performance,instead he’s anchored him at the rear,still ran the best he’s done all season so I cant complain!Winners a Rolls Royce! Where’s ‘Somersby’ when you need him!
Good to see a racing certainty win like that as for Nicky Henderson suggesting he’ll jump a fence next year!!!! My A*se he will,he’s a hurdler through and through a Champion hurdle winner Mark my words! 16/1 now is still too big Get On!
Champion Hurdler my backside……..wanna see a champ of the future watch the Fingal……….big double running on and spending the money already
Gord the best horse for champion hurdle in that yard is SPRIT SON
he be back next year.I had a shocking Aintree so far i hope the below horses help me out i do.
OSCAR WHISKEY
JUNIOR @25/1
SYNCHROINESED @50/1
POPULATION.Should of gone to cheletenham is the best bumper horse in England i think he prove it tomorrow.And what do you expect from CARLTON HOUSE this year as well mate.

Never rated this
Fingal Bay
Hurdy as I’ve stated on here before and those who think he’s a chaser think ‘Peddlars Cross’ as he’s not one either!He lacks any scope at all and will be one of those horses who falls off the radar rapidly.
Now thisDarlan
is a bit special,he doesn’t have the speed over his hurdles like ‘Binocular’ but he gets over them in his own way without losing ground.What he has got though is an engine and he’ll prove what I say about the ‘Supreme’ form every year………Its a bit special! 12/1 now for the Champion get that ‘Backside’ of yours down to your nearest Bookie and take it!
I like David Williams of Ladbrokes,he’s quick when he needs to be and he could sell sand to the Arabs,he’s got everything you would expect from a Bookmakers PR man.The word is
Ladbrokes will go 12/1 about Synchronised
tomorrow morning!……….David,its a brave move! It wont last 10 minutes if you do,we’ll see if Ladbrokes can stand with their backs to the wall at that price for an hour or whether its just another one of Davids fine publicity stunts!………..Paying 5 places is what Joe Public really wants,I hope ‘Synchronised’ doesn’t finish 5th as David will have shot himself in the foot……..again!
KF: Great shouts today mate
some very easy winners.3 bets for me today, one loser but Always Waining (again) and Attaglance did me proud
When the weights came out I opined that Phil Smith had skewed the weights in favour of Synchronised to the exception of all else. Since then he has won the Gold Cup so what can beat him today?
Bad luck; you do not win the National without having a degree of good fortune. Fitness; is 4 weeks a long enough gap to recover as he seems to need plenty of time between his races. Distance; yes he has won a Midlands National but this is further cf; Durham Edition.
The rest of the field;
Deep Purple ran a fine trial in the London National evoking memories of Rhyme N Reason, has since disappointed in the Racing Post Chase. A class horse but only receiving 7lbs from Synchronised.
Organisedconfusion is a young horse clearly laid out for the race. Won the Irish equivalent last year which remains one of the best trials. Top jockey, shrewd trainer but the price has collapsed.
Treacle had his form given a timely boost by Follow the Plan on Thursday.
Conclusion:
Synchronised should win despite 11st 10lbs (IMO he should be carrying 12st 3lbs and would still be well in), my chief concern is the relatively short break since his last race as his constitution is not as robust as that of AP. The 2 Irish horses have a nice racing weight and I would expect both to go close if completing. Deep Purple was my long range selection and cannot be deserted at the eleventh hour.
Ask not for whom the bell tolls but Ernest Hemingway looked a horse with a very bright future at Dundalk last night. I would not be at all surprised to see him in the Derrinstown Stud Trial and Epsom thereafter.

It wont be lack of stamina Eclipse but carrying the 11-10 that could beat him aswell as his jumping style,he will be coming down steep and hard at these fences.I believe ‘IF’ he stands up he wins! ‘If’ ‘Junior’ jumps the last alongside ‘Synchronised’ it will be a battle royal and if ‘Sunnyhill Boy’ is anywhere near them his weight pull makes him a big danger! My heart is with
Calgary Bay
at 50/1 its not his jumping that concerns me just whether this Rolls Royce has the fuel to get home,I do believe he will run a massive race! ‘Mon Mome’ at 110’s on the machine is way too big for the most experienced horse in the race!
Well done all those who backed the worthy winner of this years Grand National,
Neptune Collonges
! I’m Gutted for more than one reason,Gutted!
Awesome performance and what a great ride! So sad for all connections of Synchronised and According to Pete
Rather annoying with Synchronised as was shouting for McCoy to not run him, he was showing concern at the start!
ATP was mightily unlucky to get brought down fatally!
Some Real racing at Leopardstown this afternoon!
Famous Name goes for the hat-trick and is still available at Evens with PP. A 5lb penalty hardly looks enough to stop him as his only defeat at the course out of group 1 company was 4 years ago. He has won at the meeting on seasonal debut 3 out of 4 seasons. He loves the place and I can see him drifting to odds against.
After a low key reappearance Up makes some appeal at 11/2, especially if Forester and Furner’s Green show plenty of improvement for having had a run. Fire Lily has plenty of form but whether she has the scope to improve from 2 to 3 means she is worth opposing at the price.
some very easy winners.
