anyone have the forecast

OOOHHHHHH almost had another one. collected on the place though.

Hurricane Fly will win at Punchestown - he's the best hurdler in training.

Sickening injury to Lilla Sophia in the Mares Bumper

The Punchestown Festival is the highlight of my racing year. Can't wait. Its strange, I have no interest in Aintree whatsoever. The best horses are aimed at Cheltenham and generally run again tired at Aintree as a second thought. I've tried to avoid it really but pleased Walkon won after his race at Cheltenham, deserved IMO. Thats about it really.

With regards to the National, no real interest from a punting point of view and I have tried to avoid reading "tips" for each different horse with probably 30 out of the 40 horses having a "chance". Had my first proper look at the card tonight tbh and Rambling Minster is the one for me. No idea who has tipped it/fancies it but I like the look of it at a rather disappointing price. I have also backed the Russell mount e/w.

Snowy Morning 25/1

I got "Knowhere" in the sweep at my dad's work, will it be going nowhere?

I am struggling to find one though, its looking like a random picker

It was the last time I backed it.

I've got him in our sweep too. Wasn't in yesterday so heard the draw live over the phone

my grand national bets

can't buy time - £5 win
eurotrek - £2.50e/w
golden flight - £2.50e/w
zabenz - £2.50e/w



i got knowhere in the pub sweep

I quite fancy Trenchant in the first, I think he's carrying a bit of weight through.

My horses finished 2nd and 3rd doooooooooooooooooooooh

My horse died.

ok you win

And that's funny how?

I had 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 6th.

Pathetic

Yawn.

Was gonna give you the winner in my selections but the site was down

I had the tricast for the Grand national....



















....Did I f000k



I was however going to put a couple of quid on the winner being more than 50/1. ( think it was 50/1). Ahh well, just like usual. Was going to, but never did.

Handy £200

£2.50 each way on the winner = £317.50 winnings for me



Still got the winnings to come from the sweepstake in work as well



Happy days

shocker of a day for me. ignored all my usual strategies and came up with a load of duds.

up on the 3 days but feels like ive lost after todays shambles

Tell you what, not accusing anyone on here of lying, but on my facebook, text messeges I receieved etc, it's very co-incidental the amount of people who backed an 100/1 horse, but no one mentioned the horse they backed before it.






The big winner today once again in the national, (can they ever lose in the national?) were the bookies.

Well done to the mugs who put there hard earned cash (i.e more than 100 quid) on "favourites" at 11, 12/1 etc.




My uncle who does (too much) betting on the horses once said to me when I was about 6 year old, if you're going to bet on grand national day, bet on the races beforehand, as "the big one" is easy pickings for the bookmakers.

I sat down with the paper this morning and started my usual strategy of eliminating those I thought simply could not win.

Mon Mome was about the 4th or 5th horse I put the marker pen through.

I ended up with £7.50 which for me isnt bad for me first go at it
