Good to see you about CVB.......Any view on Dounikos?,would this jockey have a choice amongst the Elliot battalion? Mr Kennedy has really caught the eye in the last couple runnings,looks to have sussed his racing line very quickly,makes a huge difference,very rarely mentioned.Deserves a chance on a decent horse,be watching him closely weekend.
Keep at it GI,someone has to pay for the pensions
We all have those racing skeletons in a dark cupboard,easy to concentrate on the negatives,he looks a little too big judged on last years renewal.
Agreed Fab......That list of quietly ridden horses is growing,going back to Lisa on the Tiger,the cycling lass on Pacha,too many for co-incidence.
They may not all be winning rides,but I,m sure a high percentage of horses will respond better to those type of rides,given a chance to find a second wind,rather than the instant panic we see too regularly.
Mullins junior on Don Poli ........ Giggi or not,someone is surely taking the p!ss

Will that Irish dominance over the staying trips continue.
AL Boum Photo and Kemboy earlier in the week,two very good performances.
Elliot has a real strong hand later,is there a chance we could see some sort of record,a Dickinson first 5 might seem unrealistic,you never know.

Generally off the pace over the three days,despite really looking forward to the meeting.
Superb winner of yesterdays highlight,legendary status guaranteed,rightly so.
Take that comment about the ground back,they obviously worked hard prior to racing friday to repair the surface,there should be no complaints on that note,well done Aintree.
Probably in a minority of one,I find the present coverage underwhelming,I wonder how those once a year viewers find it,do we encourage any new people to the sport,I have my doubts.
Anyone who has been racing regularly,will have been captured by the experience,the sounds,the colours,the beauty and majesty of the horses close up.
What we have at the moment does not capture that for me.......views anyone ?

Cheers noc. Don't think you'd be in the minority on the coverage, different to how the BBC used to do it. I don't think its too bad, but Chapman is becoming a pain, and the guy on the betting ring needs changed. More time focussed on the horses maybe. A few tweeks might sort it.

WD Mac, I’m liking that Reserve Tank, “notebooked”
I try not to get too worked up with the coverage, but some things do need badly looked at, and my own personal gripe will always be the camera angles.
I can’t think of another sport where they deliberately use a camera angle that stops you from seeing what’s happening.
For example, that camera angle at Valentines, wtf are ITV/Production Company doing, what is the point of having a camera showing the horses from the back of the fence, facing away from the landing side. Go back to the 2017 Grand National, and if you’ve got the time, watch the coverage of both ITV and RUK. Now put yourself in the position of someone who’s bet Thunder and Roses, be it a once a year punter, or a regular punter with a lumpy bet on. It might be a trivial matter to some, but it drives me mad.
They wouldn’t cover The FA Cup Final with a camera attached to the corner flag, so why do they only do it to racing fans.
Anyway, rant over, and there are no words to what that win from Tiger meant to me, an absolute legend.

Annoying if the The Young Master heads to Sandown now, have they announced that fab?
Azzuri was given a very tender ride last time out he wasn't there to win that race.

Sorry Mac, not heard a thing, just had a look at the markets, seen Sam Waley Cohen jocked up on Impulsive Star on Saturday, and took a chance. Dangerous approach, could easily put 2+2 together and get 5, out of this, but coming to end of season, and thought what the hell. He was genuinely a strong fancy of mine for Sandown as well.
I loved Azzuri when he won at Killarney last year, and thought he was perfect for Galway Plate (still do), but he's been poor. He drifted alarmingly at Newbury, going from 25's to 50's in a few hours. He then went from 50's to as low as 7's in about 36 hours last week, and he's had a wind op. Again, when I follow these things, the results are mixed to say the least, but I had to have another go, but he could easily be "one of those".

Well played GI,everyone coming out with their Nads intact.
Great to see some new posters throughout the season.
Chewy,Mystic Wind,Eqine Flew to name but a few,its a good place to share opinions.
To answer Chewy,s point from a few months back...... re the lack of grief on this thread ?
Simply put ....... That should never be allowed to happen.
Lord knows how difficult this game can be,Equine Soduku .......And then some.
Sticking your opinions up pre race should be applauded,regardless of the outcome.
Being wrong most times will always be a constant,deep down is that the true Fascination ?
Outsiders daring to unravel the sport of Kings ....... a punters life.
I can,t speak for the other guessers on here,they are not short on words themselves normally.
Their record speaks for itself,a very very rare breed to these eyes,over many seasons.
Coupled with a sense of humour,able to move on swiftly from the undoubted seasonal heartache.
I always maintained I came on here to learn,that has not changed.
Kindred spirits who share a common passion.
Long may that continue.
