Aintree Day 2

[Songsheet]

Love to know the time for that - went like scalded cats!

Does not look good for many standing up tomorrow...

 

[Aragorn]

Unlucky Bully...

 

[Melendez]

Ah well. The wife will be happy I'm staying anyway.

Didn't think to stick in a little lay at 1/1 or below to get a couple of nights in Tramore?

 

[Bar the Bull]

I am in work with no access to Betfair. I am trying to bet, work, watch the races in the bookies across the road and listen to the others on the radio.

Trading in running would be a little too much to ask.

16 completed today - fancy it might be 20+ getting round tomorrow.

Always Waining is so tough and genuine. Really pleased for Peter Bowen and the lad riding. Some compensation for missing the National cut.

 

[bloodnok]

Some compensation for missing the National cut that. Really pleased for Bowen and the lad riding. That fat bookie on the telly said Rub'ys horse traded at 1/25 whilst AW was 90 odd to one at one point in running.

I made a spurious excuse to go to payroll office-had a dose of fat fingers but managed to lay Ruby at 1.14 to undo most of the damage.

 

[bigfow]

Mon parrian can fair jump a fence. Great prospect.

 

[Bar the Bull]

Don't forget Mon Parrain is only five.

It is very rare that I get the feeling from watching a race that I got from watching Mon Parrain at Sandown. Le Roi Miguel at Sandown behind Impek comes to mind. Tarxien at Cheltenham another.

 

[BennyB]

I couldn't have got today's racing more wrong so far.

Buena Vista and Baby Shine to get me out of jail.

 

[Aragorn]

The Sefton always throws up an odd result... Today was no different!!!

 

[Irish Stamp]

Same here Benny - and I'm on Baby Shine too so that's her beat. Sorry lads.

 

[Hamm]

Swingkeel on this ground must have a huge chance.

 

[Bar the Bull]

Sir Harry Ormesher is a very tentative pick in this. I would have priced him up in single figures, as he looks laid out. Are King's in that bad form?

 

[bloodnok]

The Sefton always throws up an odd result... Today was no different!!!

Always Waining had an obvioius chance and was not a massive price though.

The novice hurdle not the Topham I meant....

 

[bloodnok]

The novice hurdle not the Topham I meant....

Sorry matey I got the name wrong too.

 

[del boy]

Backed Souffler ew.

 

[BennyB]

Anyone see that last race? What happened to Buena Vista?

 

[bloodnok]

6th I think. Made the running and a bad mistake at one point early but battled on without looking likely to win after being joined in front.

 

[BennyB]

Thanks Bloodnok. Text commentary worse than useless on the RP betting site.

It really got my hopes up earlier when it said "Final Fence: Mon Parrain drawing clear"...

 

[Grey]

He was, though, Benny. Anyone who backed him would have felt sure they were on a winner.

 

[Bar the Bull]

He was. It's a long enough elbow.

 

[Bar the Bull]

Sir Harry did okay for me in that last race.

Baby Shine (on Martin's advice) and small bet on Ceol Rua (Grey's advice) to close the day for me.

I will be having a glass of finest Belgian beer tonight.
