Im so Lucky E/W and Oh Crick to win.

E/W Ouzbeck @ 8/1.

Exotic Dancer

RIP Exotic Dancer.

Awful news.

Chapoturgeon to win @ 2/1

Ouzbeck E/W at 8/1

bqck on track with Tartak, but not even fussed after hearing about Exotic Dancer. Never really got the credit it deserved that horse. Unlucky to be racing when Kauto, Denman are about.

Eleazar to save the day here at 16/1

I backed AP. Took a chance that fate would play its hand.



Ive had a top day.

Roll on tomorrow.

How exactly? ? ?

Didn't manage to see any of the racing today unfortunately but that is extremely sad news about Exotic Dancer.

Good Start to the meeting - 3 Winners.
Walkon was particularly impressive.

Good to see Choc Thornton showing some good form after a disappointing Cheltenham, now pretty confident in Voy Por Ustedes for tomorrow.

McCoy looked good also, but still can't see him winning a Grand National due to his offensive tactics. (Not suitable for a 40 horse Race)

Had a good un today which is unusual for me, always struggled at this meeting in the past. The difficult thing is finding the horses who can produce again after Cheltenham, ha good bets on the first two winners anyway to finish well up.

Reckon Voy Por is a good thing tomorrow, one we know can run well here after Cheltenham and with Alan King having two winners today all looks well.

Also goin for American Trilogy and Karabak to back up good Cheltenham performances

RIP Exotic Dancer, sad, sad news for such a great horse who was so unlucky to keep running into one as good as Kauto.

Going to put few bets on this one.

Butlers Cabin 10/1
Big fella thanks 22/1 E/W
Idle Talk 66/1 E/W

I will sound like a right moron now, mind you with them as my bets you will already think that



I used to do my betting online, so on betting slip what do I put?

Never be ton horses other than online.









Would it be

Grand National
Big fella thanks 22/1 E/W

R.I.P exotic dancer. Like people have said if kauto hadn't of been about then exotic would of been world class.

Hoping for better day tomorrow as i had a shocker today.

it's s shame about exotic dancer





did another horse die? i think it was in the foxhunters? a horse went down,did'nt get up it just lay there twitching...it did'nt look good

Just put

£25.00 E/W Big Fella Thanks 3:45 Aintree

Ask the cashier to put the price on for you etc. as if you do it yourself they don't have to honour it (just in case the manager is in a bad mood when you collect etc)

RIP Exotic Dancer and Mel In Blue

Just dont put 3.45pm like Martin says.

You might want to put 4.15pm instead.

very sad news about exotic dancer. felt very deflated when i heard. RIP. Mel in Blue RIP also



back to it today after yesterday debacle. should have had both of chocs but i always back ruby.

today he has 7 rides so ill back all the lot with blue jack (4.30 bath i think) in 2 lucky 15s

for the national im backing

£10 e/w my will
£5 e/w black appalachi
£5 e/w cloudy lane
£2.50 e/w southern vic
£2.50 e/w cornish sett

what a mug

I was on about this to a guy at work yesterday who doesn't really follow the horses like me. He asked what time the race was and I said it's usually about 3.45, after then checking I found it to be 4.15 and wondered if I had been mistaken about past races or whether they have changed it this year?

Anyone know?

And for the record I'm all over Comply Or Die, think David Pipe is a real chip off the old block and has laid this one out perfectly for a crack at it again. Also backed Darkness and a little e/w on Knowhere.
