Depends how she runs I think Barney. Her breeding suggests she’ll get further than a mile so she might run in the French Oaks or even over 1m4 in the English or Irish Oaks.

Think I'm going to lump on the Guineas.
Skybet 10/1 for that and the Oaks is tempting also.

Galopin Des Champs is a freak. Quick reminder that he won the Martin Pipe here off 142. That’s the kind of shit that got Ronan McNally warned off for a decade and more.

Was 8/1 SP for that race too. Next race 13/8; Friday was the next time he didn't go off odds on!

Incidentally, Noble Yeats and Corach Rambler joint 8/1 favourites for the Aintree Grand National next month.

Looks a very strong field for the national, tempted by a few in the top 10 in the market. Not much of an Antepost fan so will wait to nearer the time though.

I think Noble Yeats will take some beating. He ran a lovely race in the Gold Cup and back up in trip I think he’ll run a huge race.

Yep, not a bad thing if you can use the GC as a prep run, don’t think it will be far away. Another might be Royal Pagaille if the ground is soft enough, was nearly took out at the 17th and ran on to be 6th again, definitely worth a couple of £ ew at a good price.

trying to get into horse racing so i can start to understand favorites, tracks, form etc.

Where would be a good place for a noob to start reading to understand more of the ins and outs?

[kesey]

I really need Ashtown Lad to make the cut on Tuesday. I seen it win in the Bechers in December at Aintree . I've been throwing my free bets on it for a month or so and when I have a win I've been doing it again. Most are on the machines in Billy Hills at 33/1 as it's NRNB but the others are 40/1 on sky
.

That Equinox looked a bit special in the Sheema classic.

Beat me to it, the jockey barely moved.

I don't really know about a place that can show you the ins and outs. Just by watching racing, looking at the form, the classes, the ground, the handicaps etc should give you a basic idea.

If you want to look more at statistics it's worth looking at something like adrianmassey.com

[FlashGordon]

Managed to luckily catch that Equinox performance, one of the best performances on the flat I've seen in a while.

[Gerry Attrick]

Japan are getting there. In ten years they’ll be one of the forces in racing, breeding, prestige and prize money.

It's looking like it maybe going in the Topham.

Yep taken out the National today.

It's going in the Topham and it's getting done with all my NRNB stakes.

[naYoRHa2b]

Anyone having a bet at Donny' today??? Some big fields so good place opportunities

[Gerry Attrick]

Montassib in the Lincoln.

Montassib in the Lincoln.

Oh dear Gerry, that’s my pick too

[Gerry Attrick]

Have a look at Theoryofeverything on debut yesterday at Doncaster. That is a very, very good one.

Was trying to work out where they go next. Looked very good but not entered for the classics

RIP Mighty Potter, suffered a fatal fall

Didn’t see the racing earlier, read he fell but hadn’t realised it was fatal. Tough sport to follow at times

Royal Pagaille Runs in the Irish version today and is into 10s from 20s last week. Bit surprised given the rain here today and forecast this week but have used the money back from Aintree to back ew.

[Gerry Attrick]

Monkfish is back today over hurdles. Obviously just a pipe opener but 4/1 is tasty if he is anywhere near ready and retains ability.

[Gerry Attrick]

Ran a good race, another couple of furlongs and he wins that handy enough. There’s still plenty under the bonnet. He travelled really nicely.

On the flat Slipofthepen looks really good for Gosden.

[duvva 💅]

Fuck me Paul Townend has produced some great rides this season, but his winning ride on I Am Maximus today was brilliant.

Be great if they can get Monkfish back

[thejbs]

Had first and third each way on the National today! Well chuffed.

[AndyMuller]

Can't wait for the Grand National on Saturday, my first time attending!

Any tips more than welcome muchas gracias.

Cons Hill evens tomorrow with William Hill. Max £5 bet though for me

[Gerry Attrick]

Bravemansgame isn’t allowed to run now. John Dance is under investigation for something or other, I don’t know the ins and outs but since he owns half the horse the other half can’t run.

Yep just posted that in the Aintree thread. Looks like Dance or at least some of his companies are being investigated by the FCA. I’m guessing but presumably Bravemansgame could be considered an asset and is worth more alive than dead, which there’s obviously a higher risk of happening if he runs?

Is this still available? Can only see 2/1 to win by 12+ lengths.

Half of Constitution Hill might win tomorrow    Is there any chance that going up in trip will affect him in any way, or are we expecting a double-digit length margin of victory? He left Epatante 17 lengths behind at Kempton, and State Man, an excellent horse, got left 9 lengths behind of course last time.

Will Shiskhin turn up or frustrate punters again?

@Gerry, I remember you were not overly impressed by either Stage Star or the race he won at Cheltenham, do you think he has the measure of others in the opener?

[Gerry Attrick]

I would say tread carefully with any horse than ran at Cheltenham. I just find it hard to come around to horses that were found wanting at the top level over hurdles when they go over larger obstacles. I like to see quite a bit of evidence before I believe it. He also got a soft lead in the Turners with a 40/1 poke and never came back. Banbridge for me.

Cheers. I also like Banbridge to be honest and Ahoy Senor to defeat Shishkin, although it would be lovely to see A Plus Tard come back to form. The last 3 races are proper cavalry charges!

Bet Victor have Constitution Hill at Evens to win by 25 lengths or more; you get almost the same price for 10+ lengths on the Exchange 

[StevoHimself]

Any Second Now in the work sweep. Any thoughts?

It's still showing for me on there.

Although above it is a banner "Just For You" so must only be selected accounts.
