Aintree Day 1 2024

Is anyone else having a bet on Baby Kate tomorrow? Seems as if she’s been tucked away waiting for this after the run in November and I’m surprised she is still 11/4.

Yes on at 9/2, huge chance

Ground looks perfect! Times are saying soft.

Gino is a machine, what could have been! 4 weeks too late :glee:
 
Absolutely made up for Henderson after all the flack he got from twitter idiots.

Says he probably won’t go chasing next year, which is what I expected only being 4 going 5.
 
Hendo says Sir Gino not going chasing and is a 2 miler for now. That only leaves the Champion Hurdle if he goes down the Cheltenham route.
 
That is some performance from Gerri Colombe after such a monumental effort in the Gold Cup.
 
What a finish that is!
 
I got the 9/2 IEP antepost what happens if its overturned in stewards is FPTP still in effect?
 
Give it Bob! :excitement:​​​​​​
 
Ended up having some speculative bets on outsiders

Had both ahoy senor and langer dan lose tight finishes :watermelon:
 
Been some cracking races apart from the first

I have a terrible record at Aintree so I'm actually not betting and just watching and they've been some top entertainment so far
 
Skelton missed a calling as a theatrical barrister didn't he on this showing

And after all the build up with rain, rain and more rain, we get what looks like ideal jumping ground.
