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........

 

I feel your pain though. Grand Crus was my only unplaced pick in my 7 horse accumulator. £1.50 e/w, would've won £355 if that nag hung on for third! :wallbutt:

Only saw up to the 3:40 race as I start work at half four. Had a reasonable day to today, one loser, a winner and the rest placed in a Super Heinz which has put me on double what I started with yesterday. If Alee Garde had even placed I would have been quids in.

Also got a seperate treble on Sir Des Champs, Our Father and Big Bucks.

 

One or two singles on horses I thought would challenge those in the Heinz also just in case. I am sure the bookies are looking forward to getting back the money I got off them yesterday.
