TeaForThree to start fav for the National?

Whatever AP rides will be a good deal shorter than the current price……..

have backed teaforthree in this at 5/2 first show, thought it was a massive rick, 7/4 is still fair

teaforthree is trading at 10/1 on here right now, cannot possibly go off at any bigger than 8/1 on course unless he drifts on here

a million quid traded on here already, will be a few movers and shakers come the day but the market is already quite mature

and then you woke up

Monbeg Dude if papers splash him because of the royal connection. Pricewise if he tips one around the 14/1 mark. Whatever AP rides. Otherwise Teaforthree looks the most likely.

Its the same year on year for this market. There is always a horse a couple of points clear at the head of the betting. Then come saturday the Sun or RP tip something up that is all over the TV and media and a big gamble develops. Its an awful market for "favs" at the start of the week

the days of a national newspaper affecting the market to the extent that you are talking about are long gone

I repeat there is a million quid traded already on here, that is the market, and the prices on the day will be framed largely around that, albeit massively overround to about 150%

some people clearly don't know segal's current views on the national fences, you can have even money he tips up something in the top 8 in the racing post pricewise table, tis christmas after all

interesting wallis. Do you have a couple of candidates they might have their eyes on this time?

Not to hand wonders it just happened to be a market I was betting on for a while as it was profitable IF you could spot the way the media and public were going to sway.  The bookies cut nearly every horse and extend none going into the race so its not as simple as if one horse is backed the others are pushed out. You have so many horses all within a point or two on the day.

By the way wonders, Im not knocking your selection. Im just going on past experience and when the market opens up on here I will try and trade out my RC and DS bets hopefully in low single figures :)

Damn. Should have added SP.

Long Run and Tidal Bay will be popular and arent bad choices at 5-1.  But I like DS for all the stupid reasons. Its looking like APs mount which will shave some points of it . The trainer has won the race before. Its also got a "seven" in its name which is going to bring in a lot of far east punters etc backing lucky 7.  The horses plan has always been for this race and it could get the Irish money as well (Papillion, Numbersevenvalverde ..)

RC is Nicholls and I think might be backed as the form pick.  Second to the Giant Bolster at Newbury , third in the Mildmay at Aintree last year behind Dynaste (so has course form) , and second in the Hennesey behind Triolo Dalene  (5 lb better off for 2 lengths).

how about this

teaforthree
T  4   3

4+3 = 7

That could do it.   All you need is a picture of Uri Geller on the front cover of the sun explaining that sort of logic and you are weighed in

In the Far East, 8 is the lucky number not 7.

My Hot tip... Tidal Bay for FAV... now out to 20-1!!!

So a new prediction:

Long Run to be Fav at the off... 7-1, with T43 at 9-1, Burton point , rocky creek and Bathazar King all coming in to 12-1 and Monbeg Dude and Double Seven drifting to 14-1.

Really expect t43 to drift,no harm to him but a nick scholfield ridden horse wont start fav for the national.

Not read the thread but if Monbeg Dude is not the Grand National jolly (PRICEWISEASIDE) I will go and stand in the Queens Bedroom....

Again -  and this time I will have my clothes on....

Who are these arbers..

No wonder the rest of us cannot get a bet on...

Email me and I will send you a fiver and the address of the nearest food bank...
