Should help pass a half hour anyway with all profits going to the health services, i'm on Burrows saint, i hear he's working very well at home.

HarshOstrich · 03-04-2020 4:39pm

5 e/w on magic of light.
4 pound better off with tiger roll for 2 or so lengths last year and was its first time over the fences can't see the super computer putting tiger in front of it.

Bookies running it to 176% book, virtually scandalous.

munster87 · 03-04-2020 5:19pm

Yala Enki for the craic

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.

Unfortunately my tips are worse than my jokes.

Lake View Lad.

I massively hope it is genuinely live?

The production team will clean up?

Coneygree · 04-04-2020 1:41pm

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

Brock Turnpike · 04-04-2020 3:19pm

Magic of Light
Yala Enki

Both e/w

Dr. Bre · 04-04-2020 3:20pm

Just hope there is not a false start..

murphyebass · 04-04-2020 3:40pm

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

The last of the big spenders here. Lol

Mehaffey1 · 04-04-2020 3:45pm

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

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

Allinall · 04-04-2020 3:47pm

Will there be fallers?

Charlie George · 04-04-2020 3:49pm

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 ðŸ˜‰

The Mig · 04-04-2020 4:01pm

Anyone going 1/4 odds 7 places :pac:

The Mig · 04-04-2020 4:01pm

Cross each way doubles with the virtual Augusta Masters

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

2ndcoming · 04-04-2020 4:40pm

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

longshotvalue · 04-04-2020 4:47pm

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"

jos28 · 04-04-2020 4:51pm

Help, can't find ITV on Sky and OH chomping at the bit to watch this. Any ideas ?

Magic, he's as happy as a pig in .........
We used to find it in a different spot on our old Sky Box, cheers

FatRat · 04-04-2020 5:02pm

In the middle of a global pandemic and horse racing still going ahead :mad:

Bleating Lamb · 04-04-2020 5:03pm

Horses looking well in the parade ring;)

Plasandrunt · 04-04-2020 5:03pm

Can't see this on any of the ITV channels with the Virgin Media box.

They are running the legends now.

Red Rum wins this every year ?

IAMAMORON · 04-04-2020 5:13pm

Cheeky ride by the jockey there.

IAMAMORON · 04-04-2020 5:14pm

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

DJIMI TRARORE · 04-04-2020 5:14pm

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.
