Ok thanks,thought they were alright....is it possible to bet online without opening an account?

Yes. Please send me all your money and I will send you the winnings

The Mig · 09-04-2021 10:46pm

The above is a joke by the way. Online only is your best option. Unless any of the smaller bookies around the country are unofficially open and taking bets with the day that’s in it

This is the norm at the moment, I know I will be getting calls tomorrow to put on a few bets.

Gavin "shels" · 10-04-2021 12:02am

Potters Corner 22/1
Any Second Now 11/1
Blaklion 66/1

My pin drops for tomorrow in order of confidence, fancied Potters last year before it for postponed!

Herself has dropped the pin on Anibale Fly!

howareyakid · 10-04-2021 12:47am

Magic of Light e/w. Storming run to finish second in this last time. Similar prep this time, Jessica reports she’s in good form and Puppy takes the ride. Think that’ll do for me and looking forward to watching what should be a great race.

ShamoBuc · 10-04-2021 1:59am

My darts for the big race...

Plasandrunt · 10-04-2021 4:44am

Farclas
Discorama
Lord Du Mesnil (have him backed ages and I while can't see him winning due to the fast ground, i'd kick myself if I cashed out now and he featured)

Also done a combi tricast of Farclas, Discorama and Acapella Bourgois.

Singles on Thyme Hill and My Drogo today too

Lucy8080 · 10-04-2021 6:22am

Hogans Height ( ew) 100/1 , jumps these fences ,distance is an unknown.

Bristol de Mai ( ew) 33/1 , has the class , weight /distance have question marks....but, eh, has the class. worth tuppence or two e.w.

G.L. to your picks today.

oldfella · 10-04-2021 9:12am

gone with cabaret queen who beat freewheelin dylan in kerry national 100/1 and any second now good luck

Captain Becher · 10-04-2021 9:21am

Talkischeap
Discorama
Acapella bourgeois
Sublieutenant

Jayo11780 · 10-04-2021 10:56am

I’ve narrowed the winner of the grand national down to 5:
Cloth cap 6/1 Win only, he stays up he wins
Discorama 14/1
Magic of light 16/1
Milan native 40/1
Tout et Permis 125/1

Lucy8080 · 10-04-2021 10:59am

P.P. have a "top Ten" finish market , worth a look !

NaiveMelodies · 10-04-2021 11:48am

I think it's a disgrace that the race is going ahead personally. RIP PP.

I've been on Any Second Now a while and fairly confident. A horse that can stay and put away half decent horses with ease over 2 miles has to have a big say.
Also on Tout es permis at a wild price. Has some back form that gives him a chance imo.

Genuinely asking. Why is 2m-2m4f form considered so relevant in a 4m2f race? Surely 3m+ form is more relevant? Yet I hear the shorter distance being advanced all the time as the reason to back a horse in this.

Francie Barrett · 10-04-2021 12:03pm

Happy enough with my original selection Minella Times who I backed antepost.

Would be rude not to back Tout Est Permis at the crazy price of 125/1.

FiftyP · 10-04-2021 12:09pm

All the bets have been placed from my household, all the fifty p's have been put on, and if one of them actually places it'll involve me withdrawing up to a tenner from my pocket rather than going through the withdrawal route from the bookies.

Me Mammy - Talkischeap 50/1 - She liked the name.
Me brother - Cloth Cap 11/2 to win - He took a five second look at the Racing Post page and said, "The favourite!" I said, "To win?" He said, "Of course." 50p to win, bollocks to him if I'm putting a Euro down in total for him to pick the favourite. (I'll keep the Bet365 money back on e/w if he places because my brother is a poxy bastard.)
Other bets
Cabaret Queen - 100/1 about a 40p ew bet
Acapella Bourgeouis - 33/1 about a 30p ew bet
My "significant" bet
Hogan's Height 50/1 a quid ew and another quid at 100/1

Both my brother and my Mammy are going to absolutely hose me.

hawaii501 · 10-04-2021 12:36pm

Anyone having problems with money back on 365? I don't think I've used my full 125 yet, already told the household its covered

jt69er · 10-04-2021 12:39pm

Offer finished at 12oc.

Ah jaysus, didn't know that! Will take the hit so...

Harry Palmr · 10-04-2021 12:46pm

Lake View Lad my e/w pick. I like that he has had a breathing op and is blinkers (first time?). Could be the key!

happyoutscan · 10-04-2021 1:44pm

Backed Minellacelebration 10 e/w at 130/1 (Ladbrokes booster) and like the look for a place. Also did small 2 e/w's on Double Shuffle, Lake View Lad, Viex Lion Rouge and Talkischeap.

Haven't had a nice win since Red Marauder back in the day.

maximo31 · 10-04-2021 1:47pm

Any Second Now my main fancy. 11/1
Shattered Love and Class Conti EW.
Did Irish first 4 @ 40/1 last night also.

Well the most relevant form is that he's won a Kim Muir(3m2f) and competed in staying chases elsewhere so there are no stamina question marks in his case.
The element that he can win over 2m in graded company shows, for me, that he is quick and adds a feather to his bow.

The question probably more relevant to a Farclas though, who has only ran once over 3m.

My 125 was refunded immediately

kksaints · 10-04-2021 3:06pm

Gone for Any Second Now, Mister Malarky and Hogan's Height.

castletownman · 10-04-2021 3:49pm

I have Lake View Lad and Definitely Red. The woman, not a huge gambler, went for Mister Malarky and Any Second Now.

FiftyP · 10-04-2021 4:00pm

I said to my brother this morning does he want me to put a bet on the grand national for him. He tells me "the favourite" and I put 50p on. Now it's only 50p, and I don't mind, but I walked past his laptop in the kitchen where he has it open to Paddy Power with a €1 multiple for some MMA thing to return €28. Little fecker.

Loafing Oaf · 10-04-2021 4:02pm

Small bets on Magic of Light outright, Anibale Fly w/o favourite and Vieux Lion Rouge e/w

Doctors room ghost · 10-04-2021 4:15pm

Ok corral all in

FatRat · 10-04-2021 4:44pm

I have been taking pieces of Acapella Burgeois for a while now. Price might be going a bit but I think he is massive value for this, should be up with the favourites.

Doctors room ghost · 10-04-2021 4:59pm

That hogans height looks lame in parade ring back right leg

A lot of them are walking strangely. It must be the speed they're going at and the surface. Normally there'd be a little bit more bounce in their step but a lot of them are taking strange loping strides in their walk.

Doctors room ghost · 10-04-2021 5:15pm

Some race. Some result. Well done Rachel Blackmore. Didn't back anything, but would have picked Minella Times and Any Second Now.

FortuneChip · 10-04-2021 5:27pm

No bet but thoroughly delighted with that result.

Well done Rachel Blackmore and the Minella Times team.

ctrl-alt-delete · 10-04-2021 5:27pm

Monumental,

Thoroughly deserved!

Fair fcuks to you Rachael

Would be tempted to take a punt on Minella Times at 50/1 who looks chucked in off its weight.

Boooooooooooooooooooom!

kksaints · 10-04-2021 5:28pm

Fantastic result for Rachel Blackmore. Fully deserved.

rolling boh · 10-04-2021 5:28pm

No bet but thrilled for RACHEL what a story for racing .

unplayable · 10-04-2021 5:31pm

what a beast of a jockey blackmore is best in the business

sligeach · 10-04-2021 5:31pm

Any Second Now did well to finish 3rd after being so badly impeded.

walshb · 10-04-2021 5:32pm

Absolute sensational..

First female to win..

And that takes some doing. Very physically demanding race for a jockey..

Joe_ Public · 10-04-2021 5:33pm

Henry de Bromhead 1-2 in grand national and Gold Cup. Can't have been done many times before?
