Aintree Day 1

[SteveM]

Well and truly thumped in that. To say I’m disappointed hardly does it. He looked great, but seemed like he was somewhere else. I couldn’t have been more wrong in my assessment of his chances today.

 

[Aragorn]

Fair play Steve.

Stick with yer Uncle Grass, Steve - you'll get it all back on Tidal Bay on Saturday.

 

[del boy]

Hard Luck Steve, feel for ya today.

Fair play to young Twisten Davies there, delighted for him, really am. And im rarely delighted for anyone.....

Same here.Made up for him even though he cost me big at Cheltenham.Some compensation all round today though! Well done son

 

[Bar the Bull]

Good man Steve. Took it on the chin.

I'd give him a crack at the Hennessy in November. Talk of retiring him (Betfair forum) is ridiculous.

Well done Steve.

It gives me no pleasure to be right about that. A great horse, but looked a shadow of his former self today.

One last hurrah in the Hennessey perhaps?

 

[Hamm]

I'm having a shocker but does anyone else like the look of sports Line in the next?

Same as that, he's redeemed himself bigstyle today. Fair play to the young lad

Thought long and hard about him, but went for Leo's Lucky Star in the end.

Had a bet on him at Cheltenham-ran a shocker.
Big place lay on Mamlook.

 

[chroniclandlord]

Awesome performance from Big Bucks today, I'd love to see him back over fences.

 

[LUKE]

I think I rode my luck there.

 

[chroniclandlord]

Delighted for Nacarat today, a lovely game horse.

 

[Bar the Bull]

Wouldn't have gone for Silk Drum in a million years. My supreme confidence in turning over a profit today is evaporating.

 

[Aragorn]

I'm pleased for Nacarat as well - Well deserved.

 

[BennyB]

Wishfull Thinking must have a great chance here, and Medermit’s presence ensures a reasonable price.

 

[Bar the Bull]

Wishfull Thinking at 9/4 is a steal. Medermit is a spoofer.

All in.

 

[Grasshopper]

Trip spot-on for Medermit, I reckon, and he'll be hard to beat.

 

[Bar the Bull]

Grasshopper is a spoofer.

All in.

 

[BennyB]

Never been convinced by Medermit. Wishfull Thinking for me.

 

[BennyB]

Lovely stuff. Could be my new favourite horse. Great jumper.

 

[Grasshopper]

I've never been convinced by him either, but figured he would have had Wishfull Thinking's measure on a sharp track like this. C'est la guerre.

 

[Bar the Bull]

Jaysus those owners are going to have some fun over the next few years with this boy and the Arkle winner.

 

[On The Bridle]

Wishfull Thinking at 9/4 is a steal. Medermit is a spoofer.

All in.

Savage performance - turned around a bad day - what a jumper!! Was gutted for him at Chelt - that's compensation..
