My 8 year old getting to school for 8 am leaving at 5.00 pm armed with another half hour of the worst invention of all time….homework. When is she supposed to enjoy being a child and play with her toys etc?
There cannot be a sensible argument for it…Grrrr
Why are you sending your child to a school that keeps them there until 5pm anyway?
If CCB stays on his feet I genuinely make him an even money shot. This is a very special horse. Given the small doubts over his jumping (I’ll be holding my breath a little at the 3rd last I admit!) I guess something like 7/4 would be about right on the day. So at the likely 3/1+ that will be available, he rates an outstanding bet imo.
SNA is a stayer, Arcano, Awzaan and CC are sprinters.
Steinbeck should win this easily enough.
Simple.
I don’t think Tidal Bay has it in him to beat Karabak let alone Big Buck’s, but if there’s anything less than six lengths between the two I’ll be amazed. In fact, if Tidal Bay finishes five lengths or less behind Big Buck’s I will donate £100 to a charity of The Ante-Post King’s choice (though I get the feeling it will be the funny farm to which he’s soon to be committed).
Even if BB is a stone superior to TB he’ll still probably only finish a couple of lengths ahead. Not a good idea to back idlers to win by big distances
Fistral Beach for me.Top trainer and jockey and after finally winning maybe he do it again.He is the improver in the field.Any thoughts on this horse from you guys.
At 6/1 prosbly one of the worst bets I’ve seen for a while
Ground will be soft or heavy on Saturday.
I am on Kilcrea Castle (20s and 12s) and Miss Mitch (25s) who both like soft ground. I thought Nacarat would be hard to beat but i’m far more confident now that i know it won’t be good or good-soft which Nacarat would want. Will be hard for him to make all with 11-8 off 158
I like his chances for Aintree. Just hope they are very aggressive on him. Would like to see him front running in a clear lead. He jump so well that, off his light weight, he could have them all in trouble and take a bit of catching if clear at the 4th last.
The Sawyer, Miss Mitch and Kilcrea Castle pulled 22l clear of the 4th in that Ascot race. The Sawyer has franked the form twice since, and with MM and KC only 2/1 lbs higher respectively they would look to be ahead of the handicapper.
KC e/w @ 20/1 + 12/1
MM e/w @ 25/1That’ll do for me
ps: Nacarat definitely hard to beat. Looks quite well in off 158. Wouldn’t want it too soft though
I agree. I have a pretty large ap bet on Solwhit at 5s and 6s but I am now firmly in the Go Native Camp. Will wait for NRNB or on the day now, but provided the ground is no worse than G-S i think GN’s turn of foot will win it for him. Looked very good at Kempton and was far more superior than winning margin suggests
Character Building seems to be a forgotten horse. He’s nicely handicapped and won very well at Cheltenham a couple of runs ago. 33/1 is a steal
A steal for the bookies yes, as his trainer has said he goes straight to Cheltenham
Absolutely hacked up didn’t he? Improving fast.
Special mention to Our Vic though who was a pleasure to watch tanking along and jumping for fun out in front.
The article is utter nonsense. We are spoilt for choice in this country with the choices on how to bet, where to bet and what to bet. I hadn’t watched a horse race in my life until 6 years ago but after plenty of hard work I can make the game pay. If you can’t make the game pay you have yourself to blame not the bookmakers.
I think we saw prove in the Aon at Newburyr that Niche Market didn’t stay. and I agree that hes run at Cheltenham over 4 miles and didn’t stay that either. I could be wrong aboout Newbury because Tricky Trickster seems to stay forever. hencer why he is favourite for the National.
lol, NM has won an Irish National so how can a run over 3m prove he doesn’t stay? He may not stay the National trip but Saturday proved nothing in this respect.
TT stays forever so that’s why he’s favourite? Is that the only criteria used to be a National favourite?
I’ve mentioned it here before but I really enjoyed "Against The Odds" by David-Lee Priest.
Got to page 40 and then sacked it off. Too much drivel like "I like backing horses at about 7/2" etc.
Second place is well and truly up for grabs, but it has nothing to do with McCoy being on board. It has to do with the fact that Denman was beaten BEFORE 4 out yesterday. If he’d jumped the last 4 perfectly he still would have been beaten imo.
What change in tone? I said previously that I don’t think LR will go for the Arkle and I still think that. However I would like him to go for the Arkle as it would help CCB’s on the day price. I backed CCB at 25/1 with Lads straight after his chase debut, but I will happiily go in again on the day if i can get 7/2+ on decent going; the chances of which are greater if LR runs in the race.
