Nacarat was quality, always been evident he liked a flat track. Denman never really looked to be going in top gear.

Makes me feel slightly less bothered about Grandouet now, but it was only a quid treble, with the real money on Big Buck's.

Can't believe how terrible Punchestowns has been over fences. Nothing, just nothing on his hurdle form.
Denman owes nobody anything, he maybe does have a few races left but can't see him winning many more. Whether it isn't his track, Cheltenham took too much out of him, over the top etc, it doesn't matter. Put him out to grass, would be nothing worse than something bad happening.

William Hill tweeted before a punter put £50,000 in cash on Denman at 5/4 in a Watford store this afternoon

Pretty awful luck today so far. Had Palawi and Grandouet in the 2nd race and one brought down the other. Had Carole's Legacy who ran well.

Royal Charm in the next.

The fat bloke that does the BBC coverage with John Parrot (forgotten his name) said that. Did they thrown that much money on Denman after giving the race an entire 10 seconds consideration?

Parrot had a copy of a betting slip that someone had put on Big Buck's and Denman, 20k double.


Not bothering til tomorrow keeping my winnings for Saturday. Would be nice to see Master Minded bounce back with a win tomorrow but it looks a live race.

Cheers Uncle stan for going top price

Can't believe Wishfull Thinking went off 9/4 awesome jumper still think but one mistake the Jewson was his.

Denman let me down for a very tiday sum

Still 4 winners and a lay not bad for Aintree

Binocular is 5/2 for the Aintree Hurdle on Saturday

Hasn't had a tough race like Peddlers Cross because of Hendersons love up and he needs to make up for that here, all the noises before Cheltenham from McCoy were good and was 11/4 before being pulled out, McCoy again has been saying he's on top form, its got a great cruising speed like the Fly I don't think the extra distance will be a problem.

Re: Aintree Grand National Meeting 2011 : Thu Apr 07, 2011 8:24 pm  

Peddlers Cross should be an Even money shot, worth steaming into IMO.

Re: Aintree Grand National Meeting 2011 : Thu Apr 07, 2011 8:36 pm  

2.00

A Media Luz 8/1 and 2/1 place

Need to forgive its last run at Cheltenham when it was pulled up, shes shown that she has alot of talent, being a speed horse I think Aintree should suit better (ran to 101 on the flat) she also gets just under a stone in weight off 9 of the other 14 horses which is a massive amount to have on her side if she runs near her best form.

Want to back Master Minded in the Melling but going to wait and see if soft is in the ground tomorrow

You also thought it would win the Champion hurdle

Peddlers might get smashed into over the next 48 hours but Binocular at 5/2 is huge for me, very like the Fly IMO would of been very interesting to of seen the two battle it out as I said on here I thought those two would be hard held coming up the home straight but it ended up being just Hurricane Fly doing it, of course am having to trust McCoys word that he's at his best but if he is I reckon he will stalk Peddlers Cross and do him for toe on the run for home.
