Kempton 12,05 Kentucky Hardboot 2/1 15,30 Castle Robin 18/1 e/w (5-6 places) 16/1 with sky 7 places 15,57 Breffniboy 9/4 Wincanton 12,58 Edeiffs Elton 3/1 Chepstow 14,30 Easy As That 15/8 15,10 Prime Venture 11/1 e/w 5 places ( I have a bet 25/1 e/w since more than a month)
Lord Du Mensil 16/1 is my only bet for today in the Welsh Grand National, backed him each way for this and the ground should be no problem. Optimistic that I'll get a run for my money. Have a good day folks, keep warm.
FA Cup was always special because matches kicked off at the same time. Since they all now kick off at different times it has become a non event. The premier league also schedule matches during the week following the round so managers play weakened sides in the cup. solution for me would to keep Saturday as FA Cup day and play all replays a few days later like they used to do. Racing today looks very tricky - Yala Enki and Cloudy Glen each way in the Welsh National. There seems to be quite a move for Secret Reprieve though. Amour de Nuit can go close in the 3.30 with the claimer on board
No replays no mate, ET, then pens to decide them, which is good imo but obviously not true to the traditional FA Cup that we all remember
Saturday fling is an e/w Patent. Think all three should be suited by conditions and have a squeak! 13:25 Chepstow - Yggdrasil 15:10 Chepstow - Truckers Lodge 15:30 Kempton...- One True King (Best of luck today with your bets everyone! )
What a brilliant opener there on ITV - two horses going full pelt to the last fence both saw a stride and both flew it. Great stuff
Interesting renewal of the Finale next with the horse tipped up by Boris/Eddie/Benoit/Whoeverhescallednow for the Triumph, Nassalam, plus Adagio who has looked decent to date and a dark horse in Houx Gris. Should be very interesting
Great performance from Adagio who boosts Duffle Coat Nicholls horse flattered to deceive .............
I had another COVID test on Thursday, they said I would not hear from them if it was negative, And I haven't Still have the cough, but I feel that I'm out of danger now. I have a hospital procedure at 8-30 tomorrow, which won't be pleasant but may be informative re one of my other problems
