I miss the Hereford Selling Handicap Hurdle

Do recall morning/lunchtime bangor meeting as well or was that another day?

morning bangor was cup final day.

cup final day over i think.

forgot your roots have ya??????

Maybe - although I rather doubt it - as Bangor is a bit close, in racecourse terms/mileage to Aintree.

Think you are remembering CUP FINAL day, to be honest.

cheers lads..couldnt remember what day it was..thks again

Have you never bet in the GN Onlooker, agree that its very difficult now(klots of chances), but it used to be faifly easy to analyse and get down to 6/7 who could reasonably be expected to go close. Theses days probably 20 with a dcent shout!

I don't back Chaser at all, stewarts - not my forte, mate. - just Hurdlers and the Flat.

Obviously had a couple of bets in the National in years gone by, but never every year.

In fact i backed Mr Snugfit 7 times ante-post, and stood to win several grand, the year it led at the elbow and got caught.

That rather sickened me for life with the race - especially as Anne Duchess of Westminster only ran the 50/1 winner because her other fancied horse had to be pulled out injured. :(

Got the repeat of the agony a few years later , with an identical scenario with Gold Cup winner Garison Savannah being caught by Seagram.

Never had a bet in the race since.

'Twice bitten ....' to paraphrase.

Lumped on Pedlars in the first, though.
contrived after-timing at it's best. :)

After timimg is the new pre race guessing imo, well done mate.

onlooker...can you tell me the pipe horse that drifted from @ 2s 13/2 and won easily - many years ago?

They can cram more Welsh lager swilling louts into Chepstow than Hereford imo

blimey, mrjc - a couple more clues might help. :)

there was still smokin' in the shops, ol' man pipe, probably the 90s.
strugglin' with the jock - lower/foster?
