I don't doubt your amazing strike rate. I am the proverbial Mary Magdelene when it comes to you, whereas I smell more than one Thomas lurking about. These feats are astounding. Do you have a tipping line I could call? Or perhaps some sort of online subscription service?
I can see the headlines... ...maiaze continues to a-maiaze...bookies a-maiazed at bumper payout...a-maiaze-ing run continues... |

Yes, Tom Mullins is a great trainer alright. He always campaigns his horses superbly.

cap juluca, surely clan royal was a moral but for liam cooper, or do you ignore stuff like that?

I backed Clan Royal, without being aware of the poor record of french breds at the time. I was there to see him that day and was totally gutted. Even though I would love to believe that he lost entirely because of Liam Cooper's ineptitude in dropping the whip and then allowing the horse to almost take the wrong course, I don't think its a foregone conclusion that he would have won. He was absolutely legless coming up the run-in. Even if I'm wrong, and he would have won despite those factors, it doesn;t alter the fact that french breds have a very poor record. So, no, I don't ignore these things. |

By:
fair enough, i haven't done the stats so i don't know how many runners, average price, etc, just when i get told 'french breds haven't won it since blah blah,' i think clan royal would have given half a ride so that statement's not that relevant.

I guess it wouldn't be the biggest surprise in the world if the trend were broken at some point. Any follower of trends has to be prepared for that and some of the Cheltenham results are a case in point. Times and trends change, don't they, (for instance it always used to be wise to avoid the irish trained horses until the late 90's and what happens - 6 of nine subsequent winners were Irish trained) but imo the percentage call has to be to take heed of the trend and bet accordingly in the meantime, and one french bred near miss - whether unfortunate or not - isn't persuasive enough for me

The man that started this thread knows nothing about racing. He only started this thread because he latches onto certain horses trained by certain individuals (or used to be trained by certain individuals, in this case) and follows their careers through.
If he was asked for an appraisal of the likely opposition to Black Apalachi he'd be struck numb. And if he wants to prove me otherwise, let loose, with both barrels, please. (This could be a long wait) What makes his argument even more laughable is the fact he's a poncey student, of age (roughly) 22. He really is a sad, deluded, stain on humanity. Cue a condescending response. Good luck with that experiment, you barely pubescent pot of tss. |

galwayman has been extremely unpleasant to me on other threads for no reason and is a bitter and twisted forum bully. i have no sympathy if others wish to castigate him im afraid.

Looks like he will get in.

By:
BA seems a bit paceless - he just doesn't have the class for a national. The comparisons with Silver Birch aren't valid as he was a 140+ horse with Nichols. BA seems to be in the 125-135 bracket which is a class division too low

The man that started this thread knows nothing about racing. He only started this thread because he latches onto certain horses trained by certain individuals (or used to be trained by certain individuals, in this case) and follows their careers through. Can you explain what you mean by this please? I have not been on for a few days, apologies for the late response. You seem to know who I am, and you are content to** me off, which from your anonymous position is quite easy. Feel free to approach me at the races any time and I will debate any point of racing you like with you. I do not recognise your forum handle, but I seem to have offended you greatly. Perhaps you are a reincarnation of someone else? The style and personal nature of the post is familiar. |

And to be fair mythical, you draw a lot of that on yourself with some of the rubbish you post. Plus you do not ever seem to stick to your guns or have any real idea of what you are talking about.

and you do? admit it m8- your a nasty piece of work.

by the way m8 i'd be quite happy 2 approach you in real life- not sure you'd be quite so**y when youre not sat safe behind your comp.

im not really a very nice person at times, i wish i could curb my temper more, especially when people cross me or insult me for no reason. but luckily for you galwayloser the chances of me bumping in2 u in real life are about as likely as black appalachi winning the grand national.
face it if im a hopeless tipster you are much, much worse.. ;) |

As the time draws nearer, my confidence remains undiminished.

black apalachi appsolutley no chance

Yet more deeply insightful comment from the forums' most a-maiaze-ing tipster.

By:
its like someone tipping contraband what more can you say other than open your f u ckin eyes the horse has no chance
|
|
By:
Oh he has a chance alright. An excellent chance. You Sir, lack insight. I feel that your personal loathing for myself is clouding your judgment with regard to this horse. Pity, as you have outlined your a-maiaze-ing National strikerate above. It is a shame that BA will leave you with egg on your face.
It is as Lichtenberg said: 'One's first step in wisdom is to question everything - and one's last is to come to terms with everything.' Perhaps you have taken the first step. The next is right in front of you... |

My man assures me that the horses preference for soft ground will not be an issue over this trip... onwards and upwards followers...

The ground is my major concern. He will want soft at least. thegalwayman 25 Mar 21:38 BA is definitely going for the race and will hopefully get in. He most definitely needs at least soft ground. g/f, good, soft, heavy - all the same ain't it :p |
|
By:
Yes you have picked up on an inconsistency there Academic Rambler, and I salute you for it. For a place wich claims to specialise in 'sharp minds' there is not oo many on this thread.
I thought he would need soft. When I grew concerned that this would not be the case, I phoned my man on the inside to see what he thought. He advised me that the ground will not be an issue for the horse over this trip, and pointed me to his kim muir run as evidence that he can act on this going. I trust this man implicitly, for he is wise. Confidence undented, we shall proceed. |

I hope you don't write your essays in the style you write on here!!
He also did okay in the PP Chase at Leop; doubtful stayer for me and not well handicapped but gl with it. |

By:
It has a good chance at a massive price for me. Wouldnt surprise me to see valuescope tip it up in the morning. For those who think its got no chance, I bet you wouldnt have given slim pickings a chance last year and it ran ok didnt it!
|
|
By:
hope it doesnt place :^0
|
|
By:
Mythical, why do u hope he doesnt place? Just because someone has put across a point that u fail to comprehend? The pionts raised are all fair and at the price he is a good bet.
Out of interest who are you backing for the national? and if you'd like to ellaborate your reasons for your selection as apposed to sticking-a-pin in the line-up for it |
|
By:
hope it doesnt place because galwaymoron is so far stuck up his own backside, and extremely in love with himself and obnoxious to others, if only for those reasons ;)
wish all the best for connections, but i think it might be best to stick with horses that have proven fast ground form, for that reason i quite like butlers cabin, though i wouldnt put anyone off backing comply or die (although i would be concerned he might get outpaced) or mr pointment good luck all (oops i forgot to add except for galwayman :^0 ) |
|
By:
How do you know that the galwayman is not one of the horses connections??
|
|
By:
Fair enough. The trend that I'm following is a recent one, in that only one horse (Hedgehunter) has carried more than 11st to win in the last 10 years. Think the race has changed in more recent times with the pace being less frantic and a lot more horses ridden to get home, i.e a lot more in connection jumping 3 out like last year. So shearly on this I'm discounting down as far as Mckelvey.
Takin jolly on with Point Barrow and Philson Run for what its worth |
