Aintree Day 1

[skippymac6]

Well folks a few trappy contests today but these are the few I've gone for...

2.00 Actival
2.30 First Lieutenant (I'm going to follow this poor horse of a cliff!!)
3.05 Diakali (w/o The New One)
3.40 Mossey Joe
4.15 Arnaud
4.50 Oscar Whiskey

I think I'll leave the last race but if I managed to extract a few bob from the above then I'd throw a few shillings on Jetson.

Mixed bag there skip. Another mare for me. Dunowen point today to recoup the losses.

Josses Hill and Don Cossack in first two.

It wasn't as much a mixed bag as it was an empty bag! Few near misses but nothing to write home about. The Cheltenham form really held up over the three days even in the National were PDR did well in the Pertemps hurdle.

Do you think this will continue for Fairyhouse and Punchestown??

Always find Punchestown really hard to call. Mullins benefit but usually pick the wrong ones !

So many horses over the top and going as an afterthought. Colm Murphy has bailed me out their a bit ..usually targets a few for it.
