Horse Experts ... (Aintree)

[Chipaccrual]

Whooooa, a win and a place.  

Okay, the win was obvious, but the place is a superb effort from a horse thats not run for ages.  Well pleased with that.

3.20 well chief (w/o masterminded)

Rob,

What odds did you get on this ?      Very nice.

... Well chief ... well played ... hilarious jump at the last by Petit Robin gives it on a plate ... but a classy re-appearence ...

4pm must be running now ... I am on 90th min ...

Very nice choice Louis.

... an outrageous day on the Horses for me ... going to finish +£240 with a £25 "freeroll" on Morning Supreme in the 5.15pm ...

I have asked my lady to book dinner ... so let"s see how much gets home with me??

Good luck the chiefs.

... Dunguid ... different class ... Shinrock Paddy looked good in running ...

That surprised me a bit.  Romped it in the end.

I think I might go back to my Goodwood method of picking my runners the night before.  I tune into the morning line and have my mind changed by lsitening to the so-called "experts".

Small dent on winnings today, will post day 3 selections later.

... I will try and look at this in the morning ... and not in running ... though a good day for me ...

Any thoughts on the National ...

I have been betting on Irish Invader with a view to laying (perhaps) for a free roll on the day ... starting at 109/1 ... average about 62/1 ... with most bookies 33/1 ... so when the market thickens up should be able to chop the down side.

Last year I "literally" rode the winner (Comply or Die) ... every step of the way ... brought back great memories of Papillion. I had had a good day on the earlier races so up the stakes and ended up £2k! (Woop Woop!)

Depending on the ground - Comply or Die has to have a shout to place at last - such a good jumper.

2.40 Our Vic (To Place)
3.20 Kasbah"s Bliss

[Laxie]

Have some of my bets sorted for tomorrow despite a fried brain:

13:30 Ring The Boss
14:05 Synchronised

14:40 Tidal Bay is the only one I feel could give Voy Por a run, but can"t bring myself to place the bet.

15:20 Torn between Fair Along and Punchestown - no bet yet

16:00 Perce Rock
16:40 Shouldhavehadthat

Have a few e/w"s thrown in for good measure on Shakervilz, Pop, Akilak & Le Duc. The kids picked Brooklyn Breeze for their e/w.

Good luck everyone!!! Fingers crossed for the lot of us.

[Swinebag]

Good choices Leigh and Laxie.

A friend of mine has told me to back ballydub, so I might have to have a go there. I think fair along is a top horse but its front running tactics are just not suited for the world hurdle IMO.

Good luck everyone

horrible day today...beating myself up for not backing cooldine, the form was there in black and white! also fancied dunguib all winter for the bumper, then decided to leave it alone as there were so many with chances (im such an idiot!)

on a big treble with master minded, kasbah bliss and voy por ustedes so they are my big hopes for tommorow... though a race fit tidal bay frightens the life out of me ( might have to have a saver)

i too wont be watching the morning line tommorow leigh!

[Honeybadg]

Looked a bit at this this morning ...

2.40 voy por ustedes
3.20 kasbah bliss

Too short for me ...

... aside I got way-laid by the value on Ogilvy to win the golf ... I will start a separate thread for that ...

[Laxie]

Finally made up my mind in those 2 races.  Have gone with Tidal Bay and Punchestown. 

We go mad with the horses twice a year in this house...and Cheltenham is one of those times.  Should really considering watching the races at a friend"s...to stop me having more e/w"s before the day is out!  lol
