Virtual Grand National - ITV Saturday

Race voided, howie. 2 runners weighed in minus a pixel.

I told you Maxwell would not get round.

Tiger Roll running well even though he only ran 10 minutes ago.

Leg stiffened up

winner thrown out misuse of whip

Just laid tvb back for a nice profit

Woman jockey? You bet

Tiger Spent force

gwan Tiger

my youngest has potters

horses falling like 9 pins

animal rights

The fallers seem to disappear. You can’t see them in the background

Will we get a Devon Loch moment

aso cant win this ground

bugger

fecking 2nd

thats sick

Welsh bookies would have been skinted on that one lol

none qualifier romps up

System gets the winner lol

Tricast dividend?

1st, 2nd and 4th! Lets have this every day!

Well that’s 30 mins I’m not getting back

Aso 1.12  IR

thought i saw tracksuit dave celebrating  at the winning line ! looked like he backed the winner

Feck in 6th

WALOFS

That was a laugh I backed Any Second Now and Anibale Fly.I got a run for my money anyway.

pretty sure those programmers can't replicate the stains on the tracksuit bottoms well enough to have him there

12 million viewers

Got 2nd ...

Graphics were ok but the sound didnt seem realistic- the crowd sounded like a bunch of mad females probably done to promote gender equality etc etc incase someone accuses ITv of misogyny

Don't know how much profit they will make from that result?
Money back for tiger ew backers plus winner and second in first 6/7 in betting
Not like a skinner I was expecting

would you say that to Tracky Daves face you Pr1ck

What price the Winner ??

The 4 miler thread on the national Wins again

The winner was only 18/1. Must be an inside job. Who'd have back the winner unless one lives in Walesh Valley.

Stewards Enquiry !!
I've been robbed. Beaten by a horse that wasn't qualified to enter the race. !!!

I think we were conned. It looked like a long distance hurdle race at Southwell to me.

5 out of the first 7 seven in the betting placed, bookies will be moaning they will be skint.

Soft ground Welsh National winner like Earth Summit.....somehow wins on good ground ….laughable

You knew it was pure fantasy as no pun from the machine

Yes LoL Potters wants a Bog

Unbelievable - my 2 horses were 1st & 2nd.  £5 on both. U couldn't make it up. 

Robbie Supple Tanked Up,  Has gone insane on Twitter NO FALSE START ....

Winner was 18/1

machin done 6 out of a job next year,only need 1 commentator for whole race, in the legends nice to get 48 yr old blah,blah in

The government wanted cash help for Merthyr Tydfil.

well done winners, all for a fabulous cause.  hopefully the public will long remember the scum that refused to take bets / limited people to buttons when all the takings were going towards frontline medical care and the heroic fight against c19.

luke Harvey will have been all over it

.. and the 1000 layers of rag trade

Tiger Roll had no chance as he had to run in the Race of Champions earlier...

6 Lengths clear at the 2nd last and going clear on the bridle doesn't touch a twig and down it goes the story of my life

yeh davey didn't like the ground down on the fence so give the outside to no one in the main event,

Well done winners. I hope you managed to get on. Also, I hope this is a one-off; the 1st and last virtual race for me too.

Mug racing

I hope to god this isn't the future, people sitting there having £2.50 EW bets on bullet racing and virtual c*ap ffs

Potters was lame yesterday morning on Porthcawl beach.

it's not the future.  it's the present, you either won or your fiver went to charity.

Aso backers counting their winnings.

Does this race count in 365 live on ITV free bet?

I hope the handicapper dosen't over react and put ASO up to much come next year

yes, back a winner at 4/1 or more and you get a free bet on the next virtual grand national on itv ..

Timeform already raised the winner by 7 lbs

I over estimated the complexity of the machine taking into ground handicap mark and ground. It seems all I need to do was back the hose that won last time out and has won over 4 miles.  That's 4 from 4 now.

hulk

I had a fiver don't get me wrong, but its so pathetic its unreal

Why not wait until they can proceed with racing and have done a big grand national in August? that way we could have raised an absolute fortune ?

it was designed to cheer people up, take their minds off whats happening for 5 minutes and raise money now, when it's needed.  and people are still knocking it, and bookies refusing to take bets that would have ended up buying equipment.  don't think it brought out the best in everyone.

^^^
Spot on

I backed the first five (from 7) win only, got 18/1 Potters

I must. Of missed it
What was ground they put in as ???

What bookies were not taking bets for that race, maybe a wealth warning to take any money you have out of your account.

I assumed ground would be gd/sft given not had rain for 2 weeks but it was definitely a heavy ground result.

Cheers
I thought  That
way kildsart was last all the way rd

You can't expect bookies to take bets on a virtual race though, Hulk

They are a business at the end of the day, and its the governments/tax payers job to buy all that stuff, and bookies pay enough in taxes themselves

Bookies have been encouraging account holders to partake in Virtual Racing with promotion esp even before Covid-19 stopped horse racing altogether. It's an irony not this particular race as it was for the benefit of the NHS.

A PR disaster.

Anyone listen to Talk Sport Drive tonight.  Guy on from the producers of the Virtual Grand National who knows the result but has to keep it confidential.  Someone tipped Beware the Bear and he said not for him, Goughey tipped Walk in the Mill and he was really coy and didnt really speak lol

Got shout Mary, went as low as 1.2 at the elbow!

Bit of a farce, horse won who would not have qualified to run in the actual race yet Nick Luck said "they have taken the 40 most likeliest runners" - Well the winner was the most UNLIKELY runner..in fact he could not have run...amateurish!

We all know it was meant to be just a bit of fun.but by publicising that all profits would go to a good cause the bookies prompted lots more people to play,me included.their subsequent actions didn’t enter the spirit that was intended.

Maybe £2.50 goes to charity and the other £2.50 they kept

Fair enough in my opinon, bookies ain't charity cases its a business

You can't expect bookies to take bets on a virtual race though, Hulk

sportsbook take bets from Neighmarket, races every 2 minutes.  how many of those bets do they refuse ?

Never equate bookies with charity. They are akin to water and oil - they do not mix.

I dont dispute that all profits will go to charity.

Its what they get up to the other 364 days a year that need addressing and are a complete farce.

Number of people who give a damn about all the people dying today: 0.

what about the family of the 708 who died today

^^Exactly. Also there were probably some people in the NHS watching this when they could have been saving someone's life.

I have to shake my head at the selfishness of people here to be honest.

Good spot facts I tried lumping on but knock back then tried tenner ew twice again u are the weakest link good buy
Restricted to a tenner ew what the fk that all about
Scared one of the staff pulled a coo ?

Should have tried reading the rules first Burkey, would have saved you time and Money.

Not saved money as rest was not placed , but actually it made me money
That’s 7 out 8 table tennis bets I have won (no bull )
Just small stakes mind !   I was confident about a horse in states last night
Glassy I nearly fell off my chair when I seen it 4-1
I though fk me I was expecting much much shorter
Stuck on 160 then double check shorter every other bookmaker paddy was
5-2 at time webt in agsin with another cheekie 40
Rude not too am not  joking hosed up

.. Yes Well Done, I am sure Greg can Verify the bet if you pass on time, odds etc.!

What price was ASO in running whebn he came down? Knew staying out the trip may be a problem but he seemed to be going so well when he came down.

someone stated on here the winner was'nt qualified
to run,that was Peregrin Run.Jockey might not have
been though,Tudor.

£2.6 million raised for nhs charities. from the virtual grand national.
4.8 million watched on itv. 

well done to all who gave any winnings to the cause.

Aso clear two fences out ......think they mixed him up with Crisp

Golden Miller , 5 Gold Cups ,never sighted.

The ground must have been rattling fast for Mr Frisk to be so prominent.

I still cant believe Supple got them away at the first time of asking.
