Can't see that one, i presume it would be fair odds against?
One i thought was a bit of value was evens Victoria Pendleton to complete the Foxhunters(think a Coral rep mentioned it on the telly),
more in meas of the horse as it looks "safe". Though bored rigid with that particular circus i have seen worse than her as well.

I tried to get on in a few towns but wasn't accommodated,the bet would have clicked too.

Pa Lapsy unsurprisingly got his bet up.

I personally don't have a problem with it as i believe what happens happens but think it was hard for the books to put a market on Ruby's misfortune(they did with VP though).Surprised no one did all the same as it is a topic which has considerable debate lately. I didn't think it would happen but in hindsight travelling at speed to the last gives it a fair chance of collecting.
Kavvie got the top owner spot on,what a bet that was at odds against when Vautour was rerouted to the Ryanair.
A horror show from myself regarding Elliott top trainer W/O, i had the slip of paper with the scores next to me and only realised Nicholls could win it 5 minutes from the off,i had already covered stake on Hendersons runner but gave the eventual winner of the last no chance, done by an over 400/1 shot with that double in the end,i had to go for a walk.
I presume Miss Pendleton will be on again for the Foxhunters at Aintree? A different kettle of fish though the horse is very fancied ante post obviously after that run,that price says the books cannot be too big to complete but could easy to on the other side next time despite respect for the horses ability.

I don't think she is allowed ride Aintree.

Very harsh on Nina to miss Aintree for basically giving On The Fringe the ride of the meeting.

Yes of course(VP), that would be right as well.
Didn't realise Nina got banned,a double whammy by the stewards in giving that date also.Publics loss as she certainly is someone you want to see in these type of contests.

The whip rules as mentioned numerous times are a joke, no jockey is ever gonna adhere to them in a driving finish in a championship race.
Davy Russell certainly didn't have the whip rules on his mind when he got stuck into Diamond  King  no less than 9 times after the last in the coral
