Kerry National at Listowel

scojones

As you can see I'm very idle here lately as I am back in college in Tralee. I just got a tip from one of my mates ( as promised ) for the Kerry National today. This tipster was the same person who gave me that winner in Uttox a few weeks ago. He said Garvivonnian will win the national, and that he has been set up for this race all year. Now, don't go crazy on it, I'm just going to do a small each way bet, because personally I would be backing Euro Leader if I didn't have this tip. A small e/w if you are going to get on it. It is currently trading at 25/1.

Best of luck

Sure I will give him a €10 e/w, have been doing well of these tips recently, hopefully the luck will not run out today.

blahblah06

Got him @ 33/1 in Ladbrokes, €10 E/W.

Good luck!

If the ground detoriates then Garvivonnian will have a good each way chance. He has decent form on soft ground and stays extreme distances. If the ground stays as good then I can't see him coming anywhere. My two against the field are Pearly Jack and Bizet.

Can anybody confirm the current going at Listowal? It's bloody impossible to find up to date going reports for Irish meetings anywhere on the web, the best you can ever get is the night befores going or if you're lucky the going first thing in the morning.

my fancy was junior fontaine at 12/1 but i went with sjones on this one only for the fact that every time i dont go with him they end up winning but it is a very wide open race so you have to go for an outsider.

Cyrus

got him at 54/1 (€5) to win and 8/1 (€15) to place on betfair so fingers crossed

I'm fairly new to this board so forgive me for butting in with my moneys worth. I must say the selections flying around on this board have been impressive and I only wish I'd backed a few of them.

I was told to back Flood's horse (he didn't know the name at the time) in the Kerry Grand National. It now turns out to be Bizet. The only good reason that was given at the time was that Flood is retiring and would dearly love to win this race before he does. Whether thats a good enough reason to back the horse I don't know.

Anyway I hope to contribute more in the future.

anyone thinking of backing this should have a look at Betfair for prices. I backed it at 49/1 - only available at 20/1 with Paddy Power.

Its available at 79/1 as I type (maybe a true reflection of its chances !!)

Cyrus

imagine it wins someone gettin 79/1 has to be good!

Pearly Jack has to have a serious chance in this. He's getting a stone from Euro Leader which gives him every chance to turn the tables. Was the subject of a major gamble at Cheltenham this year and was going well until he was brought down....I dunno...he wouldn't be one for the mortgage but I'd give him a massive chance today.

fade2black

I see the favourite is Monterey Bay...getting in on a very nice weight....It's these two for me...

Hope you had them on an e/w bet

2nd and 3rd....that's a great performance from a top weight tbh

How did Garvivonnian run........

scojones

Apologies lads, I should have followed my own advice on this one.

Didn't see the race, all I know is that he came in 6th place.

Quattroste

6th is fair enough with the ground against him. I'd keep an eye on his next appearance. He's probably well fit if prepped for this race so a good testing race could see him prevail and at a decent price too.

scojones

Garvivonian wins today at 33/1.

bignialler

Hope ya had him... he seems to like the aintree fences

fade2black

I'll give ya 1/33 that he didn't back him....:D

scojones

Garvivonnian runs in the National, and as already stated it seems to like it over there. I'm not too confident about it winning, but it is a very good each way bet in my opinion. I'm having two bets in this race, Garvivonnian and Clan Royal.

[nicK]

i'm also having two bets in the big one.. garvivonian and hedgehunter.. my only worry about hedgehunter is the brief rest he gets between the gold cup and national..
