    What a finish to a great day, even without a bet I was cheering Thunder Snow for, his backers on here.
    No wonder we love racing

    Thank you Raymo, and indeed you are right, as in Germany this gender debate is also a big thing, but mostly for all those greens who feed vegan :yes:
    Jac I already anticipated Thunder Snow’s win :whistle: , but I didn’t have enough energy left to push the button :cry:
    No need to do something against it ;-) , just stay the wonderful way you are :good:

    What a brilliant days racing :good: :good:

    I think between us we backed most of the winners apart from X Y JET

    That is typical of this thread. Throughout the carnival we have consistently backed winners

    Give yourselves the proverbial pat on the back folks :good: :good:

    Seen the results after the footy. Absolutely bloody chuffed. Not just for me but for everyone on here who’s backed them. A great day all round it seemed.

    Started well with Coal Front winning at 9/1. Two I expected to win followed up with Cross Counter and Blue Point. The UAE Derby was a losing race with fully disappointing with no runner in the sprint the favourite won. Up next was the main bet.. and she won. Almond Eye – superstar! Delighted with that. Old Persian put the cherry on the cake by winning the turf.

    Well done everybody. After Meydan 2018 was my worst overall festival, I stuck to just today’s meeting this year and there’s a strong chance it’ll end as my best of the year this time round.

    See you all on this thread next year!

    Sounds like a great days punting for all

    Was particularly pleased with the style that old Persian won in, I had tipped him to several of my friends who also bet saying he was the banker of the day, travelled like a dream and put the race to bed in a few strides

    After what feels like an age since the last time I finally managed to get up 3 winners on a trixie too with invincible army, mootasadir and thunder snow all obliging

    What a fantastic horse thunder snow is, very very tough and clearly loves the game as he gave it absolutely everything to get his nose in front there

    Safe to say I aged about 5 years in that final 2 furlongs

    Now the challenge is to find some winners for aintree’s and not give all the money won today back to the bookies

    Well done all winners
