Only limited time today so looked at 1000 guineas trial at Leaopardstown today,I think Arch Swing is a good bet,at 1/1 or better,good luck to all.

See your bet won PD was away at the football this morning & then again early afternoon so never got involved.Turgeonev caught my eye a wee bit last night but never had a bet on the horses today.

cheers walter won at 1/1,bit closer than you would like,but always looked like winning.

I also have been watching Turgeonev had him in my horse tracker,but didn't get time to look at the race in depth,a pity really.

GRAND NATIONAL

Is Point Barrow shouting out to be Hammered

or maybe Simon or Silver Birch

Del
don't usually bother with the national,but might look later in the week,well chief must be banker material if he goes to Aintree.

On the contrary, Delboy; Hedgehunter is much the best horse in the race, Ruby has never looked likely to ride anything else, and with the ground looking almost certain to be in his favour, he is looking more and more like a good bet.

Del,
Point Barrow comes out 1st with my ratings.
Hedgehunter surely 3rd at best.

Ive Done Asian Maze win & place at 5.8 & 2.08 in the 2.50 at Aintree.
Aintree 4.15 Point Barrow to win & place at 11.0 & 3.80 best of luck whatever your on.

A good day. I backed the three posted above

Nice one , Delboy.

Well done Delboy that`s what i should have done.

well done delboy !

that needed some unraveling, and yet - the clues (with hindsight) were all there.

tc

well done delboy,a nice winner there.

Anyone have any thoughts on spanish ace today?aftertiming I know but from a VDW aspect???

Hello all,

Just passing by - its good to see the old faithfuls are still around, and that the thread is still in existence.

Johnd, Pipedreamer, WP, TC, JIB, Del, RAB, Mtoto (apologies if I've not mentioned someone) hope you are all keeping well, and being lucky.

Lee.

Hiya Lee
Glad to see you haven't forgotten us.
Hope you are well, and still true to the finest of all racing methods.

Hi Lee,

Good to see you looking in,any chance of posting again?try and put some of us on the right track,I know you have tried before,some of us (me) are not the sharpest lol.

If anyone is interested a mixed day for me at Punchestown,and ok at Wolverhampton.

It started ok, a book on the 2nd race with Clopf and Ebaziyan left a nice profit,as Clopf was the main part of the book.

Aces Four was also well backed by me and crashed out at the last,luckily the horse was ok.

At wolverhampton I backed Versacity but was on too early and missed the better price available.

A profit is a profit but could have been much better.

pd

Unlucky with Aces Four, couldn't have any of the others.
Although there is a slight question mark against his last run, Blue Bajan should be good enough today, (Epsom 3.30).

well done johnd excellent stuff,horse was well backed as well,how did you view it's last race,I thought it was a good run,a classic roushayd?

Off to watch the football

pd

I would have expected him to run slightly better lto, though it was slowly run and as a consequence he had to run up with the pace all the way.
The winner of that race was also a VDW selection on that day, at around the same 6/1 early.
