And the winner is Escaria Ten ( no15) Why Beth, you have no knowledge of the sport of gentlemen! Colours are blue and white Hoops The name contains the "sacred" 10. And race number 15 ( Sam Fields number ..player of the season) Price currently 14-1
And didn’t Hughes pay 50m quid for a ball-boy called Escaria from Santos’ Kindergarten XI on the say-so of Joorabchian? The circle is complete.
I backed Escaria Ten each way Beth. Mainly because of the trainer Gordon Elliott. I hope you haven't just given it the kiss of death. Enjoy the race.
I am so sorry Fingly. I apologise. I was at a gig a few weeks back...met a friend, a Forest supporter and a betting man. He asked me about Luton v QPR. I told him we were pretty bad, bad form, no attack. Can see us getting anything against a high flying luton team that hadn't lost at home since November. He put a lot on a home win...and the rest is ( and I am) history
An amateur Waley-Cohen on a 50/1 shot called on a horse called Noble Yeats. It was the riders last ever race...and as an amateur, he won't get a penny. Escaria Ten came 9th..which obviously shows it did better than expected!
Grand National today. If you want my advice then put all your money on ‘Landfill’. Yeah, I know… it’s a rubbish tip.
Two horses killed yesterday. The UK has no right to criticise Spain for bullfighting when we run this steeplechaise event ...imo
Just pick a horse. Forget the form or what the milkman told you because his cousin’s mate’s girlfriend once shagged Rachael Blackmore’s brother. But if you do pick a horse at least back it on Betfair where you’ll get far better odds.
I have to back I Am Maximus because my grandson's name is Max. My strong fancy is Corach Rambler, though. I backed it at Cheltenham and it ran a great race, finishing strongly. Should win.
