noooo: Fast Women and slow horses have cost me a lot over the years.
-
Looking at the horses are the owners inpsired by the same sadistic buggers who inspire celebs to choose ridiculous names for their kids?
-
All Racehorse names have to be approved by the authorities. Once registered a name cannot be used again. Given the numbers of racehorses there have been over the years I'm surprised they can still think of anything to call them. whistle:
-
Mrs TMR (to be) has considered, doubtless after reference to her cauldron, that "Cloudy Lane" is apt to win it, although at those odds not worth a gamble. "King John's Castle" and "Risk Accessor" are deemed to be worthy of an e/w punt, should they be in the final 40 that run.
These predictions are likely to change when more "form" information becomes available.
-
Aintree started well for me. "Christy Beamish" netted me sixty quid. Mrs TMR (to be) has an each way on Four Chimneys in the 4.20. I have Wanango on the nose.
-
No good. But Mrs TMR had an each way on "I'm so lucky" in the last, which netted another score. 3.45 today, Natal (me) and Marked Man (missus to be).
-
I've put my hard earned cash on SLIM PICKINGS

-
Fingers crossed then Unc...
-
Mrs TMR (to be) has finally gone for:
Cloudy lane
Slim pickings, and
King johns castle.
I'm sticking with Comply or Die and Mr Pointment (despite the burst blood vessel last time out).
Sharp Nephew at Lingfield won, so it has already paid for the day so far.
Good luck Unc.
-
GET IN YOU BEAUTY!!!
-
The TMR's seem to know something. rubschin:
Three out of the four. happ096
Anyway, each way netted me a few quid. happy088

Congrats to all! cloud9:

And a Touch of Irish just came in second - had an each way on that, only fifteen quid up on that one.
Enough for now, let the Young's roll!

Mrs Growler and mini moose smugly seemed to have had a good flutter apparently.
1st 2nd 3rd between them.
My only growl was they didn't empty our account to place the bets. Banghead
I could have been nearer zero mortgage land this morning. cloud9:
All we got courtesy of the bookies, was a bottle of red. Hardly life changing ey? ::)

Tomorrow - 2.55 at Nottingham. "Baldemar" in tribute to our great host. You know it makes sense. Don't take less than 9/2 though.

Remember what you said Snoops - only bet what you can afford to lose.
Mrs TMR (to be) has gone for Street Star. But then again, she called the Grand National wrongly...whistle...

Oi! Berek! I still owe you about ten pints for Mr Chocolate Drop! These can be redeemed whenever you like.

"Baldemar"
point: point: point:
Banghead

rubschin: Worth a tenner then .... the omens are good.
Hope you had a fiver each way. Beaten by a neck in to second place.
Baldemar did little wrong as he tracked the early leader Kashoof and came through to take a definite edge over a furlong out. For a few strides he looked like holding his advantage, but was worried out of it.

Sadly I forgot to place a bet. There is no bookmaker in the village and I would not feel happy with an "on-line" facility so I have to travel into either Rhyl or Prestatyn. I did go into Prestayn early but, as I say, forgot to call into the bookies and by the time TMR remined me it was too late to get the car out and drive into either town, park and visit the bookies.
Why would I not feel happy with opening a betting on line facility? ~ Too tempting. As I have said before my days of spending Saturday (and many other afternoons) at the bookies are ended and I have no desire to revisit them.

Each way on Snowy Morning. happy088

If I'd borrowed a few grand a put it on the eventual winner, I could have paid me rancid mortgage off tomorrow morning. ::)
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, in'it?
I think Mrs G's winnings might just stretch to a bottle of cheap red and a family sized bag of Asda Smart Price mixed nuts and raisins. happy088

I don't ask for much in me life.
I just want this bastard mortgage out of the way, but the end is nowhere in sight sadly.
Stiched up like a kipper on a useless and now virtually werthless endowment policy 20 long years ago.
The kids can inherit it when both me and Mrs G have snuffed it if they want. ::)

The kitty is safe, Apey found the decoy one with the Monopoly money. The good thing about the bugger never opening his wallet is that he can't remember what the notes are supposed to look like... whistle:

True, it's not the same without some orange sprayed heifer trailing her giblets around her ankle tag whilst her bloke has a cocaine-fuelled punch-up with the security.

I hate Liverpool evil:
Not on my top places list so in a spirit of don't shout til you know the truth we have booked two nights there on our round England tour for July
I may take a 'Rolling Stones were better than the Beatles, Kenny Dalglish is a Woofter' T Shirt just to make sure I get an authentic souvenir of a black eye

I can recommend some places to go and many to avoid. evil:

Would that be avoid the road into Liverpool and seek out the road out of it?

YES :thumbsup:

Well done :thumbsup:

My tip for today's race:
Eclair Surf
-
Fell at the third Banghead
-
Seems to have lived. Discorama didn't
-
Shame, but oddly Discorama didn't fall at a fence.

No, surely could have been saved
-
Reports say a pelvic injury; it implies a near impossible recovery.
-
Eclair Surf has now died too cry:
-
Here we go again.
Todays tips:
The Big Dog
Ain't That a Shame
Animal rights activists to fall at the first.

Another year on:
Only one tip,

Well that was an anticlimax. Apart from my tip unseating his rider at the first the race itself has been emasculated by health and safety to become just another jump race. The TV bods are trying to big the race up but it's a shadow of its former self.
Red Rum must be spinning in his grave.
