    How on earth was he out on his feet? He could of gone round again. He's just beat a real class horse in Cue Card without even coming off the bridle, he literally looked like he was jogging by him :biggrin:

    Stick has just highlighted the obvious problem- he doesn't really have any challengers now. So I am just going to enjoy today

    I am even more convinced that he will run in, and win, a King George. Whether it is 2013 or 2014 will simply depend on will power.

    I've always wondered why they always change commentator's every minute when there on the National course :biggrin:

    That's my run of winners finished. State Benefit does not like these fences at all.

    You'd think after the shambolic start of the 1993 Grand National (yes, 20 years ago!), the start of the Topham would've gone more smoothly. <doh>

    Barry Geragthy sure didn't have a steering job in the Topham!

    Gordan 5th so i get paid 1/4 odds at 12s. Better than a kick in the nads.

    AFC to complete the treble please.

    Bit of brutal race didn't you think... they flew some of the fences like it was a hurdle... Got em all off the bridle from some way out...

    Oddy, unlucky with your Walkon... Just didn't have the yardage on him after jumping the last... Placed money for Gullible Gordon...<ok>

    Gullible Gordon ran his heart out to finish 5th which was place money with a lot of bookies.

    There seems to be less horses falling over yhe national fences....must be mainly due to replacing with this plasticy stuff....time will tell tomorrow but we dont want it too easy....
