    Jim Culloty looking for a jockey for Lord Windemere as Robbie McNamara has been ruled out following a fall at Wexford.

    Was sitting on my back wall watching, Looked a nasty fall. Hope he's OK.

    I really strongly fancy Rocky creek tomorrow, Great run last year and after his breathing op he will be even better. Great jock on board and perfect age.

    I have an outsider every year and this year it's Portrait king, Hopefully he can emulate Auroras encore and win it for me :)

    Will have 2 bets in the national. Godsmejudge and All Co, very happy with the prices on both, respect Unioniste an awful lot but he's too young for the national on the stats.

    I'd be delighted to see First Lieutenant win as the kind of classy horse who has missed out on so many big wins, but not too fussed about backing him. Hmm. Having said that he's a course winner and if he's been laid out for this he has a huge chance, have to stick a bet on him after all. :)

    The main thing tomorrow is that all the animals make home safely and that deathtrap Bechers Brook doesnt cause any more sad fatalities

    Have you seen Bechers Brook lately? It's been modified beyond recognition.

    Jumped on First Lieutenant when it was 33/1- she is now 16/1. I would be delighted for a win for Nina but a place would not be bad!

    If you set up an account, for that €150 you'll get to pick 5 horses for €25 e/w + you'll get €25 in change, + 100% first deposit bonus, but each to their own!


  • Registered Users Posts: 584 ✭✭✭Skintwin


    The Grand National causes so many falls etc. that I've gone for quite a few small e/w's
    Cause of Causes
    Balthazar King
    Many Clouds
    Soll
    Night in Milan
    Rocky Creek

    Seems a bit mad, but they are paying 5 places....

    You have to play through that first deposit bonus something like 3 times before you'll be able to withdraw

    Just calculated what top 5 would give me the biggest return:

    1. First Lieutenant
    2. Balthazar/Alvarado/Al Co
    5. Spring Heeled

    Although a win from any of the first 4 there would make me very happy, just wish I had more on First Lieutenant when I got him at 34/1! .. 17/2 just to place in the top 5


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 679 ✭✭✭Lt J.R. Bell


    All each way

    Baltazar King (biggest wager) hope he's not too fresh

    cause of causes - if Carbery can stay out of trouble..

    Alvarado - backed him last year ew, small bet

    Al Co

    Rockey Creek, more patience, had him last year

    Heart says Baltazar King, but history is against him

    I never thought I would ever say this but I fancy First Lieutenant 2moro. My head says he wont stay but I said that even more so about Rule the World and he stayed the Irish National last week.

    Nina Carbery is an outstanding jockey, so anything is possible. Not sure about staying, but the horse is a multiple grade 1 star


  • Registered Users Posts: 858 ✭✭✭Plasandrunt


    €10 on Rocky Creek to win
    €10 on Al Co to place (5 places)
    €1 combination tricast of Rocky Creek, Balthazar King and Oscar Time
    €5 @18/1 on Soll, Alvardo, Balthazar King, Al Co, Rocky Creek, Cause of Causes, Mon Perrain and Monbeg Dude to complete the course

  • Registered Users Posts: 16,423 ✭✭✭✭Francie Barrett


    My two horses seem to be about as popular as a hole in the head. Rubi Light at a stonking 100/1 and Spring Heeled at 33/1.
