Started a new one after the spelling mistake in the header yesterday. Blank drawn yesterday so can only get better. Some good racing today, but a couple of large fields make it even harder to choose. Good luck if you have a go.

Not yet sorted my 'other' bets out yet but here's my GN picks for anyone who wants to know which horses will (NOT) win the big race:-)

Seeyousatmidnight win @ 14/1
Houblon Des Obeaux main e.w. bet @ 33/1
Final Nudge e.w. @ 50/1 (boosted from 40s)
I Just Know e.w. @ 18/1
Milansbar e.w. @ 33/1

Good luck everyone. Back with my usual bets later.

[Ken4155]

1.45 Ain; Connetable @ 12/1
2.15 Che; C'est Du Gateau @ 16/1
3.40 Ain; Bells Of Aisleworth @ 10/1
4.40 Che; Ardmayle

20p lucky 15, 50p e.w. acca. 4 placed = £83, 4 winners = £12,519. And if that happens, i couldn't care less what wins the big 'un:-)

Best of luck, all.

Mr Alba has taken the racing pages with him so forgive me when I get the names wrong.

I've gone for Wings something or Something Wings as well as
I Just Know

(thinking of ab'ers is a better gamble than just shutting eyes and sticking a pin in)

[Togo]

That'll be "Bless The Wings" Alba. Showing @ 50/1 at the mo. :))

[albaqwerty]

thank you Togo xx

It's fun picking a horse in the National, as well as other big races, Gold Cup for example.

Warm enough for fishing yet? Can't angle anymore :-(

[Togo]

No. Have visited the pool to have a nose around but have not had the rods out yet. Perhaps next week if it warms up. I had already pencilled in Wednesday.

Just had my first one in. :)) Now lets see if I can get something with it to make a day of it.

[albaqwerty]

yay!! fingers crossed for you Togo.

Mr Alba's third horse romped home yesterday but he had nothing with it (blurdy typical lol)

[Togo]

Second one in......:))

[Togo]

Getting serious now. That is the first 3 in. :)) Having a nervous breakdown here. (^_*)

[Voltage]

lol lets hope its not the end of the world!
be cheering it home togo best of luck

[PankySmooch]

Good luck Togo!

[Ken4155]

Very well done with the 3 winners, Togo:-) :-) :-) Nothing doing at this end but, the Mirror's quite shrewd John Shaw tipped up Saint Are @ 66/1 this morning. I chose not to follow him this week (i quite often do and with some reward) but the news is that Richard Johnson now replaces the intended rider. Worth a small e.w. at a boosted 80/1 methinks.

[Togo]

Ahh well said the soul......ahh soul said the well. 3 doubles and a nice treble paid me £110. The elusive 4th. I will keep trying, it is due.

[Ken4155]

Nice return, Togo. My best bet of the day, my 'usual', came in for the 4th time in 5 weeks - Burnley winning 2-1 @ 10/1:-)

[PankySmooch]

Well done Togo!

Ken, Richard Johnson been overlooked by the owner apparently

[Voltage]

Yahoo ... £160 smackers ...phew blimey thought I'd been done on the line....lol wife says I'm a nutcase screaming at the tv lol

[Patsy33]

Well done Volty.
You sound like my husband. He screams at the tv!

[Voltage]

lol ive heard you're a screamer too lmao...happy days

[Ken4155]

Well done volty. Managed a fifth place so not totally out of it. Really good race to watch and, like you, i thought the 2nd had got a second wind at just the right time.
