To be a teacher, I thought all day was a free period?

It is today, given that it is red nose day!!

Zaynar annoyingly good ... to just beat Walkon (which I was on) ... I get the feeling it might become a day of 2nd places ...

Walkon ... a bit boxed in ... narrow win ... annoying.

Aachen in the next - I think I am happiest about for the day.

Star de mahaison e/w in the gold cup. 28/1 at present.

If Denman can get back back to near his best the 7/1 is great e/w value.

Walkon ... a bit boxed in ... narrow win ... annoying.

Just not enough in the tank.  At least I had one to cheer on to the line, an improvement on yesterday.  

Sunnyhillboy a massive market mover in the next.

... GRRR Aachen tries to kick a fence over when handily placed ...

American Trilogy kicks ass ... hard to back that except for the Ruby Walsh factor ... his sixth winner of the festival ... very impressive 20/1 shot.

... let"s hope (from my point of view) same story on Kauto"s Star ...

I stuck a wee e/w on American Trilogy right before the race just because I"m a yank and was bored at the time.  GET IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  That"s my day made now no matter what the rest do. 

Meanwhile...the teens just walked in the door from school and and have made their picks of the day.  16 year old son picked Limerick Boy in the 4:00, but 13 year old daughter"s pick was a quiet giggle for me.  "Hangover.  That one HAS to be Irish.  Let me see the stats Mom."  Show her.  "Yep.  I KNEW it!  I want that one."  That"s my girl.  Sigh.  Soooooooooo, she has Hangover in the 4:40.  Dread to find out what the 11 year old will pick when she gets home in 20 minutes.

Nice one Laxie.

I love it when those gut feeling bets come in.


Come on Denman !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Laxie]

And continuing on with the gut feeling thing, I"ve put a wee e/w on Airforce One just now.

[Chipaccrual]

Kauto Star, absolute quality.  Just couldn"t back it at those odds, but never looked like losing it.   Oh well.  

[nosey-p]

That was class

It had it won 3 out

ship it

[Laxie]

As expected.  Great run!  Luckily, I was in on a betting syndicate for that one. 

Youngest home from school has picked Clew Bay Cove 5:15 and her friend has picked Ofarel D"airy in the 4:00.  Half the neighbourhood"s kids are in my sitting room right now.  FML.  lol

I've heard it's some kind of junior casino

Ireland + Gold Cup = All rules out the window.  lol  Every one of their parents knows where they are and what they"re at.  Only day of the year they get away with it though.
