Author Topic: Aintree Festival 2016 - The RAWK Tipping competition. 4th Edition. (Read 13895 times)

I was thinking that but who really would've included it for the price? There's zilch value. I had the family watching it just to see Voutours form going round. I put a small bet on Franklin and kept the docket just for the sake of it. Would be interesting to see how much they made from that. Any serious punters will have been laying it, if anything. Casuals would have been listening to their mates and told to avoid, if anything had a few quid just because they casuals. Big shock though.

go ballyoptic finally some points for me!!!!!!

Absolute shocker so far today

Buck Pete · « **Reply #173 on:** April 8, 2016, 04:57:24 pm »

A handful of you had Ballyoptic for a useful 20 points on a tough day

note: Y2w902 posted his selection as Ballymoney. I don't know whether he actually meant Ballyoptic or Ballydine who both featured in this race. I will class his pick as a NR so he gets the SP fav which finished 2nd, so he gets 10 points

16:40 Aintree
Full result

1st 5 Ballyoptic (IRE) 9/1 ......................15+5= 20 Points
2nd 7 Bellshill (IRE) 11/2 f ...............................10 Points
3rd 12 Potters Legend 16/1 ....................7+5 = 12 Points

The last race, surprisingly saw just one very wise (and very Handsome) punter pick the Mullins trained and ridden Bacardys for 15 points. It SP'd at 15/2 so missed the 5 bonus points by half a betting point.

Not arsed about missing me bonus points to be honest coz I had £50 on it!!

A load of you had the second place for 10 points so its a hollow victory really.

17:15 Aintree
Full result

1st 4 Bacardys (FR) 15/2 .............................15 Points
2nd 5 Battleford 7/2 ....................................10 Points
3rd 11 The Minch (IRE) 100/1 .............7+15 = 22 Points

My bad. IanBrown also had Bacardys in the last race too. Well played

Sorry about that Pete, autocorrect. I actually have no idea who it was meant to be such is the cluster fuck of a day I've had at work and on the horses.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #178 on:** April 8, 2016, 06:11:38 pm »

Here are todays scores for your perusal. alow scoring day compared to some but everyone managed to chalk a few points up at least

Top DAY2 scorer is Ohweloveyebaldyhead with 45 points. Comprising of 2 winners and a second. The dangerous RedEire and Salgar were close behind with 44 points.

Any score queries let me know by PM,

At first glance I think Red85 retains his overall lead by a couple of points from RedEire but full leaderboard will be up shortly.

Another very low scoring round with a handful of players getting 7 points and 1 person (Mag Hull) getting 2nd place.

Barney was the only one who picked that winner and grabs 15 points

14:50 Aintree
Full result

1st 4 Native River (IRE) 11/2 .......................15 Points
2nd 3 Henri Parry Morgan 10/1 .....................10 Points
3rd 2 Blaklion 3/1 ........................................7 Points

And only 7 points the rest of the day

Buck Pete · « **Reply #181 on:** April 8, 2016, 06:35:07 pm »

End of DAY 2 see's Red85 retain his place at the top but has had his 3 point lead cut to now just 2 points by RedEire.

Tomorrow promises to be a cracker as any one of at least 20+ players could take this down tomorrow with the right picks and NAP. Hell, I could even win this myself which is VERY rare.

Don't forget there's also a 10 point bonus for picking the National winner tomorrow which goes on top of any other odds bonus points scored.

We have 39 players left going into Day 3 and I hope we can get all 39 in tomorrow so try and post your picks tonight or tomorrow please... even if its any old shite

ACLE · « **Reply #182 on:** April 8, 2016, 06:46:49 pm »

Thanks for doing my number 9/6 selections Pete but the methodology hasn't really worked out lol.

Anyhow we returned home OK from Dortmund, absolutely knackered but well worth it.

I will post my selections early tomorrow, off to bed now!

Money getting laid down on it already. In from 22s to 14/1.

In other news, Ruby Walsh misses out on his rides tomorrow, including the National, due to a wrist injury.
