The National's anyones game. The amount that go down along the way impeding others makes it near impossible to call. Baby Run ran well today in the Foxhunters though had Moncadou not been taken out by a fallen horse I'd have hoped he was in for a chance. Same with Grandouet in the Juvi, horse in front fucked him. Went against Baby Run thinking the knock he'd took at Cheltenham might have taken a bit off his stride.
Had a nice forecast on Nacarat and Caroles Legacy though.
Stupidly waited until The Midnight Club won in Ireland few weeks back and then backed it ( 14's ) but know some did at 33's & 25's . Also backed State of Play ew at 28's. Denman cocked up my treble and a double yesterday but Baby Run saved the day.
Had a go in the sweep at work today. Pulled out "state of play" and "comply or die". have'nt got a clue who i will be backing properly until just before the off.
I've stopped gambling and betting last few years apart from the weekends football so I do like a flutter on the national, sort of a 1 day only thing, £10 ew ballabriggs £10 ew quinz £10 ew Calgary bay £10 ew skippers brig
And then £25 random ew with my old man, king Fontaine and backstage. Anything happens it's all good, nice to have the afternoon with the old man though and a bet.
just deposited a few quid in my william hill account with the intention of having a flutter but instead lost it all on the fruities in about 30 seconds.....
