    Hope he's okay after that and he's stopped running around?

    Did that nag of Nicholls finish? If so he's back in front by a couple of grand in the trainers champs. Not for long though I suspect.

    Bloody hell, now hearing about all the massive odds-on bets. Often wonder how true these are?

    Oh dear, Dancing Fred's already at it...<laugh>

    Great to see both Ruby and Vautour up safe and sound. Another big race for Paddy Brennan and God's Own.

    Just seen thevreplay from the side. He nearly stood on the fence before he took off. I don't know how he got to the other side.

    Jumpings the name of the game. Vautour made an error and paid the price. By heck he sure looks to love the game way he steamed round loose, ears pricked, just loves it. One of those horses you'd imagine would never fall but any of them can clip a fence I guess.

    The highlight of Aintree, year in, year out, is going on the Daily Mail's website and looking at the pictures of the absolute horrors dressed up to the nines. There's not a chance i'd ever go to this meeting in person. Have a look lads. I've been laughing my head off.

    But that's why it's a good un to go to as a racing enthusiast. Most of the crowd just stay in the bar. You can get around between parade ring and stands with ease between races.
