Well have been backing a horse for the great race since the start of september at mostly odds of 100's+ and as much as I have struggled I have finally reached the goal...so am now happy to share...there is only dregs left as the layers run scared of the winner of this years big raceExcited
Having punted the great horse for last years race at 65's pre race for a touch, it was to my agony when hard held on the snaffle he fell at the first fence with under a circuit to go having jumped well up until this point...he hasn't raced since...
Having started the gamble and got more and more involved I decided to e-mail the trainer to find out his well being...all is well and the horse is fit and well was his secretary's reply...relief so we continued to pile in at the generous odds
I can only think that aintree will be his target again with shrewd connections protecting his mark along the way...he has had a few entries and is entered again saturday at cheltenham(might have a chance tooShocked....lets hope the handbrake is firmly on but plugs on nicely up the hill...
I had a massive green on Majestic Concorde a couple of years ago whose saddle slipped going well and hope this fellow will follow suite(preferably with saddle in tact) This horse is for much, much more and much fun to be had along the way...its fun but like to put myself through it...opinionated and an avid form reader and like to back my judgement...wrong more than i'm right but no different from any other student of the form book...
The question is will I get out for a massive green at the 32 I wish to trade at???
Of course he has to beat 39 others easy rightGrin
but one thing is for sure I'm not letting the layers out unless I make the price
can I do it or not????????????????????
The horse is called Quiscover Fontaine trained by the master trainer...

Ah Majestic Concorde. The biggest GN bet I've ever had. Was travelling beautifully, out of trouble, then it all went wrong and the jock was on the floor!
Had Quiscover on my side last year - will have 2quid on him this year but think you'd struggle to trade out at 32. To do that he'd have to win something, and that would impact his mark. If he has a very light & low key campaign I think the lowest odds he'd be on day of race on here would be 50s. |

Surely they will take the 2 mile hurdle route to protect his chase mark.
You would have to say very few horses with 2 mile hurdle pace truly stay the National trip. However he did stay on in Irish National. Yet the Aintree fences are energy sapping and he will struggle. Then again plenty of horses not really proven over the trip are backed into 20`s. So if he notches a few decent hurdle runs then he could be backed as a `under the radar` type. |

Nothing to do with the topic, but has there been a rule to stop old horses running in the NATIONAL, Iask because some people are mooting HELLO BUD and he will be 15 next spring?

Hello Bud doesn't stay the full trip imo but don't know the answer to your question.
