Santini Gone - Who Gets in Last

if ms gets in itsgot a big chance

mt

Should get in - it's a 50:50 at the moment and there are surely more to come out.

Achille out.

Hendo ruled out Pym and Beware the Bear. That puts all the 10st 3lb horses in and puts the reserves bracket around

44    Double Shuffle
45    Ami Desbois
46    NR
47    NR
48    Blaklion
49    Some Neck
50    Secret Reprieve

5-days today. Market suspension at 12 noon, I presume.

The Jam Man is out. Looks like Brahma Bull is out too.

68 left in Saturdays Grand National. Take out

Beware The Bear
Pym
Brahma Bull
Treacyenniscorthy
The Jam Man
Achille
Santini
Keeper Hill
Gold Present

Ami Desbois is now #40

We have this nonsense again , way past it Blaklion may stop Welsh Grand National winner getting a run......

That would be a shame. You'd expect Some Neck or Secret Reprieve to get in.
They'll be reserves anyway.

By my reckoning, 7 trainers have 2 or more horses in the top 40. If Secret Reprieve ends up as first reserve, the temptation will be to keep an unlikely runner in the race until after the reserves have been stood down so as to keep a well fancied opponent out of the race.

I also reckon we may get a couple more non-runners soon - the bad news is that neither of them are in the top 40.

Surprised Bindaree hasn't appeared to let us know the futility of a 7 year old trying to win the race.

You have a suspicious mind

Doesn't it p1ss you off when horses come out after the reserves have lost their opportunity? I hate that.

It goes the other way too Pete. There was a lot of doubt about the turn of events that got Royal Rosa, the third reserve, into the race in 2010. Mind you, Howard Johnson was the trainer.

I think that Crievehill and Run Wild Fred no longer qualify for the race and have to be scratched. It won't affect Secret Reprieve though.

It sounds as though Evan Williams isn't too unhappy at SR missing the cut. He seems to agree with Bindaree about the chances of 7yos in the race but the Ruckers want the horse to take his chance.

Tom Scudamore 0/18 (no places)- can't have Cloth Cap. Secret Reprieve - last 7-y-o winner 1940- can't have him either.

no adam wedge if secret reprieve sneaks in any chance of hughesy getting the gigg or will one of the bowens get the ride

I think James Bowen is already booked for Secret Reprieve

Rydal

What makes RWF and Crieve ineligible?

cheers steamship

Pete, I sent a PM

Pete, I sent a PM

storyteller nr,secret reprieve a reserve has till 1 o clock tomorrow to get in i believe

Fingers crossed here

sixtwosix: Is there any need anymore to post such an indisputable fact ? I think people will go skint ignoring something which happens every year. Maybe it will happen some time but ignoring such runners has always served me well. More to the point the race has been ruined by Phil Smith as can be witnessed on here by the lack of people who now bother to post about the race.
