Aintree 2025 Day 3

He's been boosted to place to evens with a couple of firms so I've mopped that up. It's another beautiful day in the NW so I suspect there's a chance by this and the national the ground is properly good ground.
 
Probably my worst week punting at Aintree in a long while. Day 3 picks to avoid!

It's already good ground, was rattling enough yesterday, they might have been watering but I'd wager it was mostly for the national course hence the "good to soft".
FWIW evens 4 places is a great price though.
 
Have had a bet outside of the National which is unusual for me but couldn't believe the price of Monmiral. 40/1 is an insult for a Pertemps winner and a horse who has ran really well around Aintree before. Nicholls hitting some form as well. Had a nice EW bet on him along with my National picks of Iroko, Perceval Legallois and Meetingofthewaters (EW).

Good luck everyone. :eagerness:

That novice hurdle might be the worst grade 1 of all time

Not backing teahupoo. If the ground is quick enough for nicky to pull everything im happy to let him win with no money on. Though i suspect gordon may pull him after the first race after speaking to danny gilligan.

I'm guessing that is exactly what happened
 
Pretty glad I didn't bother other than the national so far

Couldn't really see that well on my phone but looked like kitzbuhel was a bit keen
 
Who said Patrick Mullins is a 7lb penalty?

First Gaelic Warrior and now a Grand National winner.

He's laughing at you lads :highly_amused:

Skelton going to have to go out all stops to win the championship now. What's the difference between them both?
 
This place was the first thing I thought off when I clicked who won it :biggrin-new:

Think Grangeclare West without the mistake at the last.

Mullins 1-2-3-5

Championship is on
 
Some horse, carried an anchor round and still won it a shade cosy :glee:

I jest,cracking ride, couldn't fault one bit of it, deserves all the plaudits for that one, congratulations Patrick & the team.

sums up a terrible week with no real luck for me, thought reagents stroll settled much better today and had the race won only to be collared late on, weveallbeencaught caught behind at the start when usually ridden prominently which is such a big advantage on the mildmay course and manages to keep on for a place, kitzbuhel far too keen early on, iroko ran really well, probably not quite soft enough, Minella cocooner weakened in the final furlong, and kilwaughter’s jockey had an absolute stinker finding trouble at every opportunity! Never been so glad for aintree to be over!
