Going to lump more on Grands Crus, just need to psych myself up a little..

[Carradona]

Glad a few of you have made a few quid.

 

Some grim stuff goes on at horse racing though doesn't it. One jockey was banned for hitting his horse too much whilst another two horses were killed. Hmm. Good job that horrible fox hunting business has been banned though eh.

 

This isn't a dig at you (it really isn't), but if you don't like that kind of stuff, then just don't watch the sport. It's the reality of the sport, so you gotta just deal with it. I hate these pretentious cunts who take that sort of stance on horse racing.

Have you got them all to win? I'm working from home today and after watching the racing yesterday if I'm going to do it again today I might as well bet.

No pal, I have backed Grand Crus & Sizing Europe to win. The others are e/w bets. I have also combined 3 of them in an e/w Trixie.

[Rico1304]

Cheers.

 

Apologies for my ignorance but what the eff is a Trixie?

[ROADENDSMIG]

Got two in each of these three races -

4:00 - Balgarry, Final Approach.

 

Then a double for Grand Crus in the 2:40 and Big Zeb in the 3:20.

Batonnier is out I think

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

I'm in balls deep today! Will sit tomorrow out if I don't have a good day today. It's all about Grand Crus today for me. I've followed this horse for a while, since it's hurdling days. Also, I go on a horse racing forum and a few people have said that there are strong whispers coming from Ireland for Pique Sous in the bumper. Mullins has a good record in this race and with Ruby Walsh on board, this looks like the pick of his runners in the race. My picks for today are:

 

1:30 - Teaforthree (win and in 7 horse e/w acca), Strongbows Legend (e/w) and Universal Soldier (e/w)

2:05 - Monksland (win and the e/w acca)

2:40 - Grand Crus (WIN, WIN, WIN.....and the e/w acca)

3:20 - Sizing Europe (just in the e/w acca - think Big Zeb could give him a run though)

4:00 - Get me out of here (e/w and the acca), Act of Kalanisi (e/w) and Balgarry (e/w)

4:40 - Vendor (win and in the acca - trainer is VERY bullish about it's chances) and Dark and Dangerous (e/w)

5:15 - Pique Sous (e/w and in the acca)

 

See what happens........

[toneloc]

1.30 Universal Soldier

Batonnier is out I think

 

So he is.

I very, very rarely watch horse racing, mainly as I find it hideously boring. But me not watching it doesn't mean horses don't get shot in the head.

 

 

To paraphrase you, the reality of, say, fox hunting is that foxes die, so you just gotta deal with it. I hate these pretentious cunts who take that sort of hypocritical stance on fox hunting.

[Randy Marsh]

Had a 5 horse E/W acca yesterday, 2 wins, 2 places, 1 donkey. Cunt.

 

Will have a couple of quid today I reckon.

[Jairzinho]

Hurry up and refund my bet, you cunts.

Could be a ploy to shorten his odds and get his other horse Champagne Fever to drift out in the market.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Just put an e/w accumulator on the first 4 races.

 

Harry the Viking

Sous Les Cieux

Join Together

Big Zeb

 

Still not decided on my three main tips to add to this and my e/w bets from above. Fuck it....

 

1:30 Soll

2.05 Sous Les Cieux

2:40 Grand Crus

 

See where i'm at after that lot before any more bets.

[Welsh]

Teaforthree - E/W

Monksland - E/W

Finians Rainbow - E/W

Get me out of here - Win

Third Intentions - E/W

Kazilian - E/W

Moscow Mannon - E/W

 

Mainly E/W's today, only had one bet on yesterday and it came off big time (Rock on Ruby) stuck £24 on the above at all e/w so I should (hope!) break even at the least. See how it gos though, haven't really studdied for Cheltenham like I usually do.

 

Odds on Grand Crus were awful, decided to leave that one out.

 

Good luck everyone.
