    Am very happy she won, she had an amazing Cheltenham and this is the icing on the cake for her. Sorry for spreading my good luck with fellow punters and "ruining" your perfect thread :rolleyes:

    Don’t worry about it, the lad getting upset is well capable of spouting some incredible muck in other threads.

    I suppose if she continues to stay at the top for a while, and barring injury or mishap no reason why not, then she'd likely be making decent money and earning every penny of it. She's obviously marketable, like Katie Taylor was, but doesn't strike me as someone particularly interested in exploiting that angle. Riding 4-5 days a week, probably rarely takes a day off from working, it's that attitude and focus that got her to the top and couldn't see her taking her foot off the pedal to start getting distracted by fame or glamour tbh. Horrible game for bringing people crashing back to planet earth at times!

    She is fully focused on her career as a jockey and plenty of opportunities to stay at the top loads of big races to try and win .An injury can happen any time so she will be 100% concentrating on her career not on the celebrity circuit in any way .

    I'd say she'll be the first guest on the Late Late Show next week and all that, and every radio station, podcaster etc. will be desperate to get interviews with her. But I agree with the above post: I can't see her losing focus and getting distracted. She knows more than anyone else how quickly you can get brought back down to earth in this game, pardon the pun. It was interesting to hear her interview with Ruby Walsh last week on RTÉ where she alluded to this point where she said that she's almost not looking forward to being at the very top as you can only get knocked down etc. Hopefully she will continue to go from strength to strength!

    Any Second Now the very unlucky loser yesterday, remarkable that he was in pitching at the last after almost coming to a halt early on. Ted Walsh knows what it takes to win the race for sure.

    Blackmore is a legend and come across as a sound sound skin. Delighted for her.

    I can only assume normal rules apply as you didn't have an option not to take up their grand national offer. I would say try them on webchat in the morning if you are concerned

    Anyone get a reply on this from 365?

    there were 5 races at Aintree all listed as ITV 4/1 offer races yesterday including the GN. This doesn't tally with your screengrab which talks about feature races rather than ITV offer and says that the last offer race was the 7th of April?? I think there is no difference just when there is no racing on ITV then they pick a few feature races instead. So I assume the detail on the grab is out of date?

    I had a free bet from the national but on my offer bet the horse placed so I got all my bet back anyway irrespective of the offer but thought I would get it back either way

    I checked with them just now and the ITV offer and the Feature race offer are separate. They also confirmed that the full bet including the 50% cashback is applicable for the free bet

    ITV Racing 4/1 Offer Races:
    Day Race
    Last ITV Racing 4/1 Offer Race 10th April - 5.15 Aintree
    Next ITV Racing 4/1 Offer Race Wednesday 1.50 Newmarket
