    Bookies running it to 176% book, virtually scandalous.

    It's for charity.

    Bit of a word going around this morning for Total Recall. Said to have travelled over well and Townend has chosen him over a few others in the race. Should go well :pac:

    I might stick a tenner on something in this for the skit though. Seen as any profit goes to charity.

    A masterclass in comedy.

    Lake View Lad.

    I massively hope it is genuinely live?

    The production team will clean up?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 823 ✭✭✭Coneygree


    What's the craic with this algorithm? Obviously for a good cause but this sounds absolutely daft. Tbh with the state of society and the desperate need for a heartfelt story and click headlines you'd imagine Tiger Roll wins on the snaff. Most money will be on him so more money goes to NHS and of course he's the most popular NH horse right now. Think of the ****ehawk headlines.

    Either that or else Bryony Frost's yoke wins and there will be a national televised broadcast at 6pm of her in tears spouting dung about how she willed him on from behind the computer screen.

    According to bet365 it is pre recorded and a handful of operational people know the result. If only Betfair had a market

    The bookies profits will be going to the NHS. If the punters win then that will be up to them what they do with it. So if more money is on Tiger Roll then less will go to the NHS in theory.

    It is a bit like backing on miss universe except the computer can't give the judges a blow job or two.

    Ah I see.

    Plenty juice in the book anyway so some decent money going to NHS at least

    Magic of Light
    Yala Enki

    Both e/w


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,771 ✭✭✭Dr. Bre


    Just hope there is not a false start..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,553 ✭✭✭murphyebass


    Magic of light - 1.50 e/w
    Burrows saint - 5 e/w

    The last of the big spenders here. Lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,646 ✭✭✭Mehaffey1


    £2.50 on Lake View Lad straight, account empty after this.

    If he wins there's an extra week's worth of sick pay!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,013 ✭✭✭Allinall


    Will there be fallers?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 539 ✭✭✭Charlie George


    Was thinking that tiger roll would be guaranteed to be in the first 5, but with the profits going to charity tiger hasn't a chance 😉

    Yes - It runs like a normal Grand National, just virtually.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,588 ✭✭✭2ndcoming


    Call me cynical but hard to see the Brits giving it to an Irish horse / trainer.

    They have a significantly higher chance of winning this one than they would a real one...

    Definitely Red, Beware the Bear and Yala Enki e/w


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,474 ✭✭✭longshotvalue


    All over Anibale Fly, like i was for the real one :(.


    Computer should be loosing its mind with "runner up in last years gold cup to this years winner, and getting weight"

    They are running the legends now.

    Red Rum wins this every year ?

    Cheeky ride by the jockey there.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,078 ✭✭✭IAMAMORON


    I like Nick Luck's Piano. Light Mahogany, worth a few bob I would say.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,718 ✭✭✭DJIMI TRARORE


    Redrum just loves Aintree, surely TigerRoll can't run again so soon

    I think the world is made up of two types of people. You either love or hate racing, there is no middle ground. You either drink pints or you don't, there is no middle ground.

    You would either ride Alice Plunkett or you wouldn't, there is no middle ground.

    The way the jockeys spill off the horses is very over-dramatic :D

    Crazy decision by the owner and trainer to run him so soon after the legends race.

    Would have hacked up otherwise.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,553 ✭✭✭murphyebass


    Magic of light - 1.50 e/w
    Burrows saint - 5 e/w

    I’m up €4 overall. Get in.

    Seemingly owners and connections couldn't get on, so they pulled it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 494 ✭✭Billgirlylegs


    Nick Luck felt for connections of Aso after his heartbreaking loss.

    He didn't tell us whether all the horses and jockeys were fine after the race
