    I'm kicking my family out of the house.
    They all discussed FD, due to the name, and then they went and picked other nags :(
    150/1 - the jockey was on radio today great chat.
    Said he knew the horse could jump and that he'd have fun.
    He added that he had ridden 5 lots out that morning and "had ridden 5 Grand National winners" - fair play to him. The jump at the last was a beauty and won him that extra space he needed.

    I do not see this winning or even lucky to place. Unplaced in 11 starts and last win January . 6th on latest outing and 15 lengths behind winner. Have you some information that others do not or do you just like the name. The.only saving grace is the bad quality of the horses.

    A bit disingenuous to suggest a guy with 23k posts is going to recommend a horse based on its name.

    When I said like his name I was being sarcastic. It was a joke not meant to offend anyone. I wanted to find out the source of information on the horse because I don't see it based on form. Relax.

    Oh right, you wanted him to do up a report and submit it for your approval like!

    I've no problem with you having a query regarding my post, it was a tip from someone who has given me winning tips before.
    However, your post contained ' did you just like the name' which is generally considered to be something you write when you want to be disingenuous.

    When I said like his name I was being sarcastic. It was a joke not meant to offend anyone. I wanted to find out the source of information on the horse because I don't see it based on form. Relax.

    So, instead of being sarcastic, simply ask a question next time please as it might put off others who get tips, from posting here. And the thread could then become full of people who don't post their tips at all but simply have something to say...... we wouldn't want that.

    As mentioned, your money, your call.

    4.05 Visioman at 11/1 (6 places 1/4)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,723 ✭✭✭zimmermania


    It might not be very original but having spent more time than i intended looking at the Grand National i keep coming up with the only logical bet imo BURROWS SAINT looks the form horse,is trained by the best trainer and has been trained with this race in mind,given normal luck in running i cannot see past this horse.

    It isa long time since i fancied one as much as BURROWS SAINT (for the Grand National) and i will be having double my usual National bet ew on the horse just after 8 in the morning when B O G kicks in Powers.

    Got a good run travelled really well through the race until outstayed towards the finish,3 miles 6 or even 4 miles will suit better,Patrick gave it a great ride and i got a little profit in a race loved by the bookies and it was great to see to see history made by the winner.

    Just do we don't jinx it, I can't see this horse winning, it's never won a race, did you pick it because you like Rome!!!!!!

    I do like Rome! But thats not the reason, simply a tip I got, from someone who knows better than me. If you don't like it, don't back it.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,723 ✭✭✭zimmermania


    Scottish Grand National at Ayr is a puzzle as always,many have chances but i am having a few quid ew on COUP DE PINCEAU who should get the trip ok.

    20 TO 1 with Paddy,a bit higher elsewhere but PP goes 6 places so that will do for me.

    Two bets for friday,ELEGANT ELLEN 1.05 Doncaster is thought to be useful and connections win here.

    JOHNNY B can win a modest staying handicap hurdle at Chepstow in the 7.35,is running well since going handicapping and stays this trip easily.

    There is not a great deal to beat here and the horse goes well for the rider.

    At home PERRY SQUARE in the 1.20 Cork could cause a surprise at a big price,300/1 when 4th last time would not have to improve much to be involved here.

    His trainer loves racing but has not had a winner in 4 years,if this one drifts a bit he will be worth backing ew without the 1st and 2nd favs is 13/2 now but if drifting a little could go to 8/1 without the 2 jollies and that would be value as there was a lot to like about his last run and the stable had one run 2nd last week.

    I think I misunderstood your post. I thought you meant he is 300-1 today.
    Still 14-1 is good value.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,382 ✭✭✭petes


    Think you might have misread the odds for perry square, he is 14-1 not 300-1

    '300/1 when 4th last time'

    The kindest thing to say about elegant ellen is that her heart wasn't in it!
    Got a great break so no excuses for the 3/4 paced race she ran.

    I am not sure about that,The horse had not run for 247 days,we punters have to assume she was fit and ready to go,the drift to 12/1 told us that was not the case.
    Most of the time we do not know whether or not a horse is fit when it it having its first run after a good layoff.

    If the horse was going down the handicap road one would reasonably expect it not be fully tuned up for the race but we know little or nothing of trainers plans in these modest maidens and we just hope the horse we back is fit and ready.

    I think she will win a race or two in time and i will keep her in my tracker.

    Carvaggio was an unreal 2 year old back in the day.

    And his offspring andreas vessalius is out of a dam who won as a 2 year old also.

    So I'm hoping there's enough breeding in this 2 year old to make the 8/1 seem very generous in the opener at navan.

    Having a larger than usual bet than I'd ever have on a maiden.

    Hard to know which Obrien will win,it was his brothers horse by the way so not the same trainer.

    Our 2 year old Cailin Cliste comes up against 2 Caravggios in the first at Naas tomorrow so heres hoping another Caravaggio can be turned over.

    BEACON EDGE went over 3 miles for the first time at Cheltenham and looked like taking a hand in the finish before fading after the last to finish 4th behind Flooring Porter who made all for a very impressive win,i give BEACON EDGE a chance to turn the tables tomorrow and make him a decent ew bet on a course that may suit him better. 5.25 Pun.

    Beacon Edge going well before coming down.

    Only other bet is Strawberri in the 8.15 at Chelm,should improve from last run enough to win tonight.
