Bas**d! 2nd, ahh well still pays out around 12/13 quid

Hopefully Master Minded can be even better over 3m, would love to see him and Long Run have a good battle.

Didn't back anything today, but Master Minded's win was brilliant. Pleased to see it.

Can only beat what you are against though.

Binocular has never been over 2m, so a lot would have to be taken on trust/confidence.

Will see what I pick in the morning after studying the RP.

These two got the profit today after poor start Mullins one was really well backed thoughout the day, Master Minded was amazing sooo glad I took the chance again on him

Mon Perrain looked an cert jumping the last

least it place.

Henderson's horses are running like drains.....Odds on fav in the Maghull novices!!!

Tomorrows bets

Binocular 5/2 & 9/4 for the Aintree Hurdle 2.50

Others am looking at.

In the first am thinking of backing Cue Card 4/1 either EW or a with a place around evens, I think it needs the longer trip and also needed a prep race before Cheltenham, so theres a chance that race did him good.

5.00

Plan A 6/1 well backed at Cheltenham didn't get the best of runs but the 2nd in that race ran Nicholls hotpot really close here on day one.

Lucaindubai 20/1

5.35

Fancy Persian Snow in the bumper backed it for Cheltenham after what someone had heard but it didn't go in the end, so at 12/1 will be having a go EW I think.

Not looked at the big one yet but will be only for ones with faller insurance

Backed Persian Snow 16/1 EW before some bits of money for it now

Backed Cue Card at 4/1 last night be bit less now because of Recession Proof

Plan A at 6/1 in the 5.00


Cheeky little treble 22/1

Cue Card
Finian's Rainbow
Binocular

Skippers Brig 40/1 EW
Surface To Air 150/1 EW
That's Rhythm 150/1 EW
Arbor Supreme 22/1 EW

Shes gone for

Royal Rosa 125/1 EW
Golden Kite 80/1 EW

Ballabrigg 14/1 (or SP if higher, on Paddy Power)

Golden Kite 66/1 (or SP)

The little lad picked Bluesea Cracker (20/1) by scribbling on it with a crayon, so it has at least as much chance as mine.

Think I might go for Binocular now. Can't split the pair. But while Peddlers Cross is a top class horse with a great engine, Binocular is probably the best natural 2m hurdler in the game (alongside HF). He always travels strongly at Cheltenham, and has won at Aintree, so the step up will probably not hinder him.

He does have a nice cruising speed, though I'd be worried if Peddlers Cross started motoring a bit farther from home than would be preferred for Binocular. PC is as tough as they come so if Binocular was off the bridle too soon I'd be worried.


Gonna rule out any of the sloggers this year in the National as I had no luck when trying that approach last year. Gonna go for the types I have before which has usually done me ok.

The Midnight Club
What A Friend
Becauseicouldntsee
Backstage

Ghizao 11/10 - no Finians Rainbow

Didn't get going in the Arkle but is a class act on as shown when beating Captain Chris twice I think its better after a recent run and the Arkle was its only run so far in 2011.

Good day at Aintree yesterday.

2 winners and 3 placed.

Was counting ny winnings on Mon Perrin from about 3 out, coudn't believe it when it got turned over.

Cant see it mentioned anywhere but Victor Chandler paying 1/4 for 6 places.

Finians Rainbow at 2:15 to make some money to play with in the National.

Had a fiver on Cue Card. Couldn't really split the top four in the betting. Glad Drive Time is ok what a sickening fall.

Spirit Son was brilliant.

Cue Card did very well to place, no pace so pulled way too hard and then the mistake.

Hadden Frost said Calgary Bay is very honest.

He asked the horse if it was gonna win the Grand National, and thinks it muttered back 'no'.



TBH if he completes he surely is talented enough to be involved. Happy with my four though.





Yeah, Tizzard had a lot of work to do didn't he. Hit a couple of hurdles clumsily too. Doesn't seem to have much speed, didn't show a turn of foot last time either, but has a good enough engine.

Got a Finian's and Binocular double on, + a couple of singles.

Ghizao travelling really well thought he was gonna do it but Finian's kept travelling and that poor jump from Ghizao knocked him out of his stride.

Come on Binocular......

I, and several others can't deposit on Victor Chandler, and haven't been able to for at least 2 hours now. I placed my bets before it seemingly went down without issue, but I was going to put a bet on for a friend, but the deposit/chat isn't working at all.

Also struggling as well - must be huge site traffic.

Only realised that the free bet will only be credited on Monday as well which is a bit rubbish.

Just finished work to see i'm 2 for 2 thus far;

Got 2 placepots on
Spirit Son, Finians Rainbow, Peddlers Cross, Bensalem, Big Fella Thanks, Alazan
Same as above except with Ballabriggs and Red Merlin instead of Big Fella Thanks & Alazan

Binocular disappointing, travelled ok but found nothing. Woulda backed Peddlers had I not backed him so can't complain.

Embarrassing. Down for at least 3 hours. No mention of it whatsoever in their homepage either

Weird one he didn't just travel well AP was taking pulls on him in the straight.

Would love to know what it hit on betfair bet is was below 2.00

Slightly down for the day.

Becauseicouldntsee fell, What A Friend pulled up, think Midnight Club was 6th and Backstage 10th.


Lost on Binocular and Cue Card but Finians Rainbow was a crumb of consolation.
