....I backed Rathvinden for the National on 30th September last year when it was 40-1, I backed it again a few months later at 33-1. It’s my main chance in the race, but anything can happen over 4 miles in those fences. I’m left with this portfolio which will do me;

Rathvinden 40-1 and 33-1.
Rock the Kasbah 33-1.
Noble Endeavor 50-1
Monbeg Notorious 80-1.

Boxers are aware of the dangers and are not forced into fighting.

Horses are instruments for humans to participate in the 'sport'. A bullet to the head to save on medical bills when they are no longer able to perform their duties.

As bad as greyhound racing.

I know what horse id rather be than just stand in a field eating grass

Since Mall Dini pulled out, I'm looking for a last minute replacement. Genuinely no idea though, might just put it on an outsider.

Odd seeing Anibale Fly drift to 16s, but I'm OK with that seeing as I took 11s. I know top weight is a bit of a nightmare and nobody has done it since Red Rum, but this is a special horse. Given a poor ride out wide last year, and still came 4th. Got to fancy him for a place again.

How many horses to die this year over the weekend?

Going for 6.

Such a shame. Very brutal and unjust 'sport'.

So long as it entertains and bolsters the egos of toffs and Saudi billionaires then it's alright. Town will soon be filling up with LADS who've SMASHED IT making sure their lanyard is still in full view hanging from their ill fitting suit.

Didnt know that the favourite for the Grand national has not won it since 2010 going off ITV then,so if Tiger Roll is fav and wins it,1st time in 9 years etc

....presume Barry Geraghty was jocked up to ride Anibale Fly but he’s sustained a leg injury and is likely to miss the race. It might explain the drift.

That'd explain it Eggs, didn't spot that as I was in work and missed today's racing. Not too concerned myself as Geraghty hardly gave him a good ride last year, but still, trying to think of decent jockeys that would be available.

Leighton Aspell doesn't seem to have a ride, I'd be delighted if he took over.
