L'ami - 2.00
Looks friendly to me.

Peter, good to soft.

I looked at Whitford Don as an EW. But he is raised in class on his last run and wondered if he is up to winning in todays company. I hope he wins for you. Good luck.

[peterstilgoe] 08/4/2005 13:21

Gone with Whitford Don at 14:00

Whats the going at Aintree today ?

[acamas] 08/4/2005 11:26

Peter,

On form Lacdoudal is the one I like in the 14:00

The two I do fancy at Aintree today are

3:10 Le Roi Miguel to give Moscow Flyer a run for the money

4:55 Kock de la Vesvre - he is dropped in class on his last run is 16/1 in betting.Although I do respect Zetas River, he jumped very well at Newbury when he won last time out.

Zetas River - 4.55. Aintree.
Balloted out when strongly fancied at Cheltenham.
Must have a brilliant chance of winning today.

Ive bet on just in debt ew as one of my outsiders aswell......Any thoughts for todays 14:00 ?

[pomp circumstance] 08/4/2005 08:52

If the rain comes i have a little feeling for an outsider from Ireland Marcus Du Berlais (FR), The idstance and the hurley biorly will be no probs, hes a good jumper and will like soft ground!!

[peterstilgoe] 07/4/2005 19:18

Any thoughts for the grand national yet ? I need to place my bets tomorrow daytime on B365 to get 5 places on EW.

Cheers lads....

[zinco] 07/4/2005 19:04

pomp,acamas your sliping lads,now go to the back of the class and get your heads down and work that bit harder I NEED A WINNER....LOL....;-))

[pomp circumstance] 07/4/2005 18:58

true , actually in reality his chance reduced with those two out the race

[acamas] 07/4/2005 18:48

Pomp,

I watched the race and Timmy could not cover him up, once the other two departed at the second hurdle. He was making the pace at certain stages. When they turned into the home straight he had nothing more to offer and went backwards before falling at the last hurdle. Very disappointing.

[pomp circumstance] 07/4/2005 18:17

Korelo was a major dissapointement especially with the fav and westender getting in knots!!

[acamas] 07/4/2005 17:12

Sorry Folks,

Just a 7/1 place, should have gone for the other Jarvis horse as well. It went in @ 14/1(Native American)

[acamas] 07/4/2005 12:53

Pomp,

Maybe E.W. a nice double!

[pomp circumstance] 07/4/2005 11:13

8 and 9 runner races to Aca, nice little e/w double eh!! 9/2 and 9/2!!

[acamas] 07/4/2005 11:02

Hi Folks,

Two horses I fancy today

2:00 Aintree Korelo - He finished further behind Inglis Drever at Cheltenham than his stable mate Westender, yet the stable jockey prefers him to Westender in this race. Also Korelo has only had four races this season so is still fresh and they may be some improvement still to come.

4:30 Leicester One Putra - M. Jarvis has gone to Leicester with just two horses. The stable jockey is on both (P Robinson). The stable have had winners already this season so we should get a good run. On last seasons form he has the ability to win a race of this type.

IMHO

[acamas] 06/4/2005 16:50

Pomp,

I have not made my final selection, but I do like your choice. He will stay acts on any going, has a good weight, and is the best age for winning this race.

[pomp circumstance] 06/4/2005 09:12

its happened already!!! (monday!)

Strong Resolve is one for me, and I like the look of innox

[acamas] 06/4/2005 09:11

Car973,

Yes I agree, our selection must be able to run well on prevailing going. I shall watch for any movement in the market if the going changes between now and then.

[acamas] 05/4/2005 15:16

Hi folks,

For those that are interested in backing the winner of the Grand National one large stat to consider "11 of the last 14 winners were among the first eight in the betting". That means in most recent years you can forget three quarters of the field when picking a winner. This is because of safety regulations the fences are easier to jump and therefore we now see a speedier type of jumper entered for this race. They can also jump flatter with more emphasis on fleetness and still get round the course.

We must not confuse the race today with the 60's/70's when jumping was more important than pace.
