34 Runners Max

Beechers and the Chair to be removed will be next

go woke - go broke

Racing is writing the longest suicide note in history...

I'm Maximus or Corach Rambler? I think Meetingsofthewaters is well-handicapped.

Sorry Max , I have been promised ride on Noble **** , so I dont think yours will be running .

Has there ever been a bigger certainty in a National than Corach Rambler.
He should be carrying 11 stone 10 MINIMUM!

Certainty in horseracing? The closest was Shergar, and at 'even' money it was a giveaway by the then bookies. Now, a similar horse would be 1/3 or lesser with the present turf accountants.

I believe that this horse will win comfortably, so leniently handicapped is he.

Rambler could well go off the shortest priced favourite in living memory.

I've had a few 'epic boost' bets on Corach Rambler eg 12/1 -> 24/1. I'd him last year too. I'm hoping for a repeat.

I hope you get the result.  That is enterprising stuff.
I've always felt that the National was one of the best betting races in the calendar.

^^
I think a restriction will be coming if Corach Rambler wins; I'd similar for Vanillier, and I am Maximus ie 2x antepost. I tried to do the same with Kyprios for the Ascot Gold Cup. He's 3/1, but the same bookie is only offering 3.75, not 6/1; they also stop me getting free plays on slots.

im on at 16/1 so happy wit that

I have had a number of winners in the National over the years but have also had an incredible amount of seconds.  The most painful, and I cry as I think of it, being Whats Up Boys.       Life changing dosh if it hadn't got passed on the tun-in by the horse it took the lead from over the last!      It is still agonising!

Your Own Story going at Warwick on Thursday coming, over 3m2f.  Even that is a bit short for him.  Entered at Ayr.  Could the stable do the National double?  Indeed, is that the plan?  What a glorious piece of work that would be.
I think Red Rum and Ginger did it in the same season though my memory is not as reliable as it used to be.

im on CR ante post as previously posted. Anyone think there is a horse at a price thats worth a punt?

im looking at,Galia Des Liteaux (38) Galvin (30). Nassalam (30) and Adamantly Chosen (70) for my 2 pound punts . (bet fair prices)

If you can Dragon , Crooks has a £5er money back to bet on the first at Aintree if you have a National bet and your first named is top price 40s (Hope that doesnt mean it goes to Ayr ! )

cheers p47

The race has turned into a glorified handicap rather than one about the fences. At this moment I think the values of most have diminished somewhat. Apart from the fav others eg I am Maximus (9/1), Meetingofthewaters (well-handicapped) and Mahler Mission both still represent values at 16/1 each, I think.

Been plenty of Rain , same forecast Mon Tues Wed next week Thurs and Friday Dry ,Can only be soft Going meeting at Best I would think

Heavy would Liven the race up a Bit

wont be heavy- will defo be soft

Conns. of Kitty's Light will be scanning lists every day to see if enough drop out for him to get a run.  As will the King of the Jungle for Shakem Up'Arry.

I started to count how many Irish entries were in the top 34 listed in the RP then realised, sheepishly, that it was much more appropriate, and faster, to count the non-Irish in that number.
Five!
You have to laugh!

What are the odds on all the finishers being Irish?
   

Rain Monday , Tipping rain Tuesday

wednesday not looking good either

Sportsbook have a false start offered as a 4/6 shot.
All horses to safely negotiate the 1st as a 4/5 shot.
A pity they weren't available on the Exchange as I would lay them both.

Depending on the Amount of Rain tomorrow , Thursday Could be a Bog

BBC is some rain every day over the three days
can see some very depleted fields happening  on Thursday Perhaps even Friday

Worse going  Year in my Lifetime was Red Marauder,Probably the same for all of us  , The Friday of that Year was desperate as well

Agree with Lays Loyal

Must say the More I look at Mr Incredible the more he Appeals , he ticks a lot of boxes

Going is Heavy on Course now , With tomorrows deluge to Come , Could they actually call Thursday off ?  [:sad:

2.9 now at 8am but Thurs/Fri/Sat no rain - Met Office .(Not so great today mind ).
