    Ahoy Senorrrrrr

    Would have been a banker round Aintree if Derek Fox was onboard. Hughes slightly gives me the fear.

    His engine is absolutely ridiculous, he just gets too many fences wrong. If he manages to get his jumping 80% then I don’t think a single horse touches him. Still a lovable hunk

    Edit: probably wins with Fox onboard. Replays show Hughes goes far too early. He was 5 lengths clear and bolting along, no need to go for it that soon

    I see the housewives have already backed Rachel Blackmore into favouritism from 20s yesterday to 9s for the National

    Some phenomenon. My mum bets on her horse every year as her only bet of the year.

    2021 and 2022 would have been a good year for her. Even more so if she dabbled on the big races at Cheltenham as she sweeped up there too

    For the first time in forever I completely abandoned my yankees and went for singles only. Might be slightly sick if Go Dante wins the last lol. 3 wins in a row anyway, sets the bank balance up nicely for spunking it all on Scotland to bring it home in the National.

    I’m on that also. A guy in my betting syndicate who is very selective and profitable with horse racing bets is in very big on it.

    We went to Cheltenham one year and he dropped £5k on Faugheen then didn’t bet again until the Thursday.

    I've just put 5 whole English pounds on Delta Work EW.

    Also backed Born By The Sea, A Wave Of The Sea, Capodanno, Cloudy Glen and Recite A Prayer.

    Fiver on each, all EW.

    I've got £1.50e/w on Roi Mage and Le Milos and £1e/w on Lifetime Ambition and Gabbys Cross.

    I've also bet that all the horses will have a fun time.

    Delta Work will do well to stay onto 4th/5th like last year. Coko Beach has a much better chance

    They’re all getting lolled past from the back of the field by Corach Rambler anyway

    It's a cavalry charge, if it wasn't AP McCoy would have won it more times than he did. The Topham yesterday was a mini preview of the carnage.

    Got an Aintree acca.

    Jonbon, West Balboa, You Wear It Well, Flooring Porter, Shakem Uparry, Gaillard Du Mesnil and Blizzard of Oz (what a name) all to place bar Jonbon which was a win.

    First two are in, I expect the rest all to fail now.

    Didn’t even need to come from the back. Just lolled past them from midfield.

    Bookies must have taken a bit of a hit. All of the favs finished in the places barring the Housewives

    That extra week after Cheltenham really paying dividends for quite a few horses. 10lbs well in, Corach Rambler probably should have gone off 10/3 fav in hindsight. Great move from Fox to ride it more prominently. Gave me a great spin along with Roi Mage.

    Obviously it’s hindsight but I can’t believe he drifted to 11s at one point. He’d have won with that extra 10lbs anyway

    He took about 15 minutes to do a chip and a putt on the last hole. Dirty money. And he's just chipped it into a hazard.

    Surely that goes backwards into the water when he hits it.

    Edit: I'm stunned he hit it that well.

    Edit: Spieth super unlucky in the first two holes of the playoff. Cracking golf to end it.

    Put money on Liverpool to win 6-1 when they were 3-1 up.

    Fucking beautiful result.

    You can see how naive Leeds are under Gracia. Even worse than the American pretender. Conceded 5 in their last home game. You can't do that against the attacking players Liverpool have.

    Relatively unknown? He was Superman as well as The Witcher.

    Apparently it was also between him, Sam Worthington and Daniel Craig the last time.

    I was alluding to the recent Bond producer quote that they want 'a relatively unknown actor in his 30s' to be the next Bond which I agree excludes Cavill. That's why I think someone like Hoult who has been in loads of stuff but isn't a household name, is a good shout.
