Masters week fred

lol Alay. not looked yet will have to put it on mute if Lineker is on.

the flat has barely begun but we've had 100/1, 2 x 40/1 and several 25/1 winners already! Must be this Soft ground.

info, there is a good fred on the ante-post forum about Imperial Commander. called bobby dazzler

Guess they don't know till they run whether it'll come too soon. Was a bit worried that TD wanted to see the race cut up before comitting to it. Still not sure it's the freshness, would he have ran the same if it had been around chelt today? Would he have won the GC if it had been on good ground round aintree!? I just about buy the freshness theory.

Blue teen small win bet at 12s in the hunters, that sandown win might have been brilliant, surely better than what he did here last year. Reach for the top a place bet at 9/2, jumped and travelled really well at chelt, looks the right type for this.

i don't think they have a presenter behind red button sint, just coverage of amen corner normally

I am not 100% convinced dan, but NTD can't help himself. They had to really sweet talk him to take Kyhber Kim straight to the CH.

Mickleson, Mahan and Villegas in the win market and a decent go on top 10 Mickleson for me so far.

strange goings on at taunton? is there always a gap between the hurdle and the rail like today?

Or has roo been down the joke shop?

jockey just mentioned that gap too so think that must be why

has jbarnes tipped up anyone in the golf?
remember he picked cabrerra last year

barnes (no not him) 07 Apr 16:05
afternoon all

back from an enthralling health and safety course life really couldnt be better

cgull the golf winner was probably my last winner of any kind or it seems like that, fwiw my main fancy is dustin johnson (throw in heath slocum if im allowed twos)

Backed Consigliere here imo. Hoping for a sub evens get out clause.

thx, having a few quid on those and Quito's choice Mickleson. just adds a bit more excitement when watching

Hard not to do the lot when that vole wins. Undone any previous good work :(

probably wasted beans but had a couple on ginger ted here with possible concerns about top 2.

also had e/w bet monsieur fillioux in the next. ocean legend run looks pretty good, should get race ran to suit, and should handle ground, so thought bit overpriced at 10/1

Come on then Joe. Hold on tight.

I was along the same lines with Ginger Ted, alay. There was a very brief window of hope...

yes a split second when it looked possible muq!

One of the soundest jumping novices around and he's decked it twice. Frustrating to say the least.

FFS.

He never looked confident in himself (jockey) going into that fence. Odd.

He should stick to breast feeding goats.

:^0 rofl.

Cgull, 6/1 about Di Maria AGS is fair isn't it ?

The Kyllachy Kid has drifted to a very fair price here, looked a promising sort early winter on the aw, has not really shown it. Will be interesting to see him on this going and stiff 7.

lol breast feeding goats! mine beat a furlong there so back to the golf

Has there been any audible crowd reaction to Tiger?

This hunter fav looks a good thing :D

he starts 6.42pm our time muq, so should see his back nine on the beeb tonight

With any luck, we might see a couple of minutes of the rest of the field too. Highly unlikely though. 97% Tiger, 2% Gary Lineker does Spanish with Angel Cabrera and 1% interesting golf.

She couldn't ride to save her life :(

stick to laying imo :_|

Did you get owt out of the race? Made a total horlicks here, backed the fav after seeing your post, saw the first couple of iffy jumps, layed back for a guaranteed loss, and plaice layed to boot!

Wont Sky be showing any coverage later ? Hate when the beeb just show the main protagonists

done Di Maria AGS in the Liverpool game tonight. Thought he looked Benfica's main threat last time and caused their Defence loads of problems.

augusta have a strange rule whereby they wont allow much tv coverage sint. sky don't get any coverage at all, only bbc. been much better in recent years though now you can watch all the groups go through amen corner interactively

looks lots of pace on here doesn't there, thought could set it up for koo's colours. not had bet though

No Muqbil,

was my worst result of the day considering there were loads better bets around,

but have pulled it back now !

any wolver thoughts lads?

candyfloss girl has the least sexy profile of the runner in the 7.50 but i feel is slightly overpriced

bahamian lad in the next plum draw conditions ideal if anything could still be improving fair price

Big field to suits Brevs lad on Sat at a big price??

backed Pistolet......grr

largem looks fair price to me in the last jb, on his september c/d run

Fav looks short enough here, Zalkani, Sunset & Trysting against the fav. All have drifted since I backed em!

very small singbella last two runs arent awful

Team Musson seem confident of dramtic improvement...

Morning has broken.

Expected to be warmest day of the year thus far.

doesn't feel like it yet sint. thought it was a bit chilly this morning myself

Warm darn sarf, SG.

Monet's Garden a small go for me today. Fresh horse angle + a course specialist so why not.

I really Kalahari King in that one cgull

*like

Might save on it if Ferdy says it'll need the run....

sunday ...17 degrees ....be warmest....lets hope along the nile shates home.......at mussel.

:^0 shates or scrapes ..

He should really win easily on his old flat form.

thought it looked quite difficult at Aintree today.

I backed Offshore Account for the grand national after his recent run as I thought he had a right chance in that off 12lb lower than last year (he was leading the field 2 out before fading) but he did not get in and runs in the topham later. I think decent ground makes a big difference to how he jumps, which is why imo he returned to form last time at Cheltenham. Prior to that he'd been running on Soft & Heavy and getting well beaten and dropped down the wieghts as a result and it's interesting that the only times he has had g/s in the past year or so was in the National, Cheltenham last time and in the Hennessy early season where he unfortunately unseated at the first fence. Im not saying he needs decent ground becasue he has won on Heavy twice as a novice , but think it makes a big difference to how he jumps. Today he is 8/1 which is pretty short given he only has one good run to his name this season.

I've been looking at that Topham, really is dfficult. couldn't be backing one at 8s in that race.I'm thinking about the classy In Compliance myself at 20/1 ish.

Yeah it is short enough, but think he is on a fair mark now. A small win bet only, my national bet was NRNB.

In Compliance should go well. Dessie Hughes seems to know what type of horse to send here doesn't he..

topham could be ideal for offshore, he did go well until fading late on in the national.

I have a psst. Check your e-mails.

Interesting ££ for Dan Breen..

I haven't got ad addy for you CFT but if you ask FW he can pass on the pssst.

thanks cgull - my mail is cheersforthea AT gmail .com
That would be great as not been in touch with fw
Ta

Sent.

Thanks mate - popped a reply back.

3:25 Is an interesting race. I was on Highland Warrior on Sunday @ 140 and gave Pickard several kicks up the aris from 300 miles away to get a shifty on from the back to no avail.. Have to have a small bet today, race should be run ideally, but the valoo is with Musical Bridge & Lucky Art for me (ran a cracker fto last year) who was running ok off low 70s last year, hopefully tracking the pace from out wide. Lucky Art is surely over priced, had a 2L verdict over Musical Bridge at Newcastle last year, recent aw runs show he might be ready to strike (Trick or Two similar profile, might have been much closer if not going so hard?). There is surely going to be a pace burnup on the rail? I'm not bothered by Sir Geoffrey, could bolt up but not for me despite the yards' form.

i was on HW sunday too muq, win only of course! would think he'll trade bigger than current price in running today, especially with the ground forecast to be quicker than sunday

maybe ground not quicker at muss today judging by 65 secs for first race!

good shout muq

cheera alay.

Did you get involved today?

Really is a grand old horse. shame that couldn't have been Sunday, we would still be hungover!

no i didn't muq, had to hose up after sunday didn't it ffs! it went to around 7/8 in running in the first furlong, but none of it mine

I put him on 66 (included the ooh lbs) with a big "+". I also gave Rasaman a "+" from that race, left on 82 I will be looking out for (no upcoming entries).

i think i just had some beans on sunday because of his course record, and soft ground record. looks like he'll go in again soon if gets similar circs with good pace

what did your clock figures make of flipando's c/d run on 12th feb? i remember being amazed at it being under 73 secs at the time. if he gets fast pace again shirley got to go close

trev & Nibble from the ante-post section were all over Always Waining when the betting came out. They murdered the 66/1. Amazing stuff.

I actually fancied him to go close in the Lincoln Trial. I have a 77 for that run.

yes saw that sint. some top tipping there.

nice sint. doesn't take many at those kind of prices!

yes i liked him in lincoln trial too muq, willing to put line through that run as was no pace

thx for that e-mail btw cgull. however I had already backed it this morning so probably jinxed it. not been a good meeting for me so far

ha ha Stevie! Newbury run good effort and Flat efforts last summer too

I don't think I'll be upsetting anyone now (they have had plenty of time to get on) by saying that Woolfall Treasure is the one we would like to see win the 4.55.

that Brian Hughes is highly regarded by the northern trainers. Dont know much about him myself but he rode a nice winner for HoJo last weekend aswell. I read something a while ago about him being the ''new graham lee''.

^ Correct.

^

Indeed ronka, fingers crossed for some Treasure!

If anywon wants a short one tomorrow then Brighton should beat Carlisle. The players have been told that contract talks will commence if they get the 3 points (effectively relegation put to bed although they are in no real danger anyway.) Carlisle are without Ian Harte who has been their mainstay this season, Livesey, Hurst and Anyinsah and have doubts over 5 others. They are just above BHA, have no chance of making the playoffs or of going down. Home banker. :0

Internationaldebut - thought this would be shorter..

International Debut for a few beans to continue the yards excellent run.

lol

cheers cgull

Afternoon chaps, last time I posted Leeds were 11 points clear so as I dont go to games or read the papers after extensive calculations I figure we'll be promoted around now and am just signing in to receive your congratulations.

Hope everywon is in clover.

Good afternoon, leedsunited.

I think someone at some point in time has sold a huge job lot of voodoo dolls depicting Elland Road...

Sadly we have as much chance of promotion via the playoffs than I do of enjoying a 3some with the minogue sisters :(

:(

Was that the pssst, cgull?

Aye.

Anyone know when Westwood tee's off ..?

Westwood out at 17.58

I cant remember a bigger blip from any team Muqbil , unbeatable up until Christmas, win at Old Trafford and then look like relegation candidates.
Uncle Ken has kindly decided to increase prices again for next season so they should be flocking in at £38 to watch Div 3 football.

thanks bidders. I had a bit more on last night at 8/1. C'mon Westy.

Big Phil vs Big Lee.

Classic stuff, marred only by the ageing, miserable corpse that is Peter Alliss.

going to be laying westwood throughout

cant fault the way he has played thus far but in mickelson woods and choi you couldnt really have three better chases running for you imo

Westwood has had some big slices of luck and they don't always last for four days. If it wasn't for the fact that I am on Mickleson, I would love him to win but......

qatar and dubai he should have both won this year already, he needed a very lucky drop to beat the italian in his win this year

max lay stuff here

Couldnt agree more.
Westwood a cast iron lay imo.
He may stumble over the line in European events due to others lacking mental strength but out here I will be amazed (albeit pleasantly to a degree) if he can finish the job.
