Aintree My eldest son is taking me tomorrow, just the two of us this year. Normally it would be the three of us, but the youngest is currently travelling around Australia. We will miss him, but still a dad and lad day out - so proud of both of my boys.
morning men starboatd 10... off to wetherby in the morn but dwindled cards make it look average affair.... I will if possible pass on any thing I hear.... re me and SBC . .. I Apologise publicly and as I have to the mods . .. this forum is far bigger and better than I .... please friends stay frosty... and I will dissapeare next armistice . .... bad time of year for me... this is a genuine apoplogy xx
bit late ....want badges . ... let me know if I can I will.... hughesy there but not sure if his badges gone as I'm off to wetherby
I can't see beyond Sire de Grugy in the Tingle Creek tomorrow. He comes here in good form, with a very good win last time out. Yes Un de Sceaux is a big threat but Sprinter Sacre completely destroyed him round here back in April. The biggest threat may well come from Ar Mad, but I think that Sire de Grugy probably has that bit of extra class and race fitness in his favour.
Me too Talal El - can't wait only live a few miles away - fancy Gods Own for the Tingle Creek - my old mate put the mockers on it now
Thank you for the very kind offer. This year I am being treated (tickets anyway) to a day out. I am sure it will end up costing dad a few "bob". I can just hope for a couple of winners to help pay for the day.
thanks for swift reply.... I'm usually ok for jockeys badges so in future let me know have a graat day.... they good for badges but very poor at tip !!!! stay frosty
Wasn't Sire de Grugy destroyed even futher in that race. I can't see Un De Sceaux being beaten here if he is fit. Only Sprinter Sacre could beat him last year.
The Tingle Creek is a bonus race in the Stable Stars comp. I have both Gods Own and Un Du Sceaux in there, so hopeful I can climb up a bit from second to bottom in our league!
Loads of my horses to follow run today, Alvarado - prep for Welsh National Apterix - should follow up but too short Leoncavallo - really interesting today Minella Rocco - guess this decides the route he takes this season. Handicaps or graded races. National target? Vieux Lion Rouge - "aintree in autumn" Wishfull Dreaming - see how he progresses Geordie Des Champs - how far can he progress Out of them VLR and Leoncavallo are bets
13.35 AINTREE- PORTRAIT KING- 33/1ew Course form over these fences is very important and altho he has fallen the last twice over these, it doesn't tell the whole story- was running well over them when both falls have been late on so obv enjoys theses fences but can just put in the odd error! 2lbs lower than last year when was contending for the places then fell 2out! Looks to have had a couple of decent warm up runs over hurdles and this could be his national!
Nass - one of your stranger fetishes is Leoncavallo, I'm sure there is good reasoning behind it. But if you are looking for a Graded class horse carrying top weight in a handicap I would look no further than Zubayr
