Aintree Day 2 2024

JP doing absolute bits this week
 
What a race that was. That's what makes me love the game. All three hopefully will be back to fight it out again in the Ryanair next March and give us the same thrill.
 
Biggest bet of the week for me on James Du Berlais (20/1, 16/1). If he can get into a nice rhythm, then I think he'll go close.

I missed the fancy prices on Densworth but think he'll go really well in the last.

Dysart Enos not running is an ante post loser, unfortunately. With the way the race shapes now, I'm all over Firefox and i think he'll reverse the Supreme form.

Jonbon, Croke Park, Iroko and Broadway Boy are others I've backed.

Feel for you there Dave jesus christ..

The best horse in the race by a country mile, just needed to be delivered late but he's gone round them fences like a duck to water and carted his way there. Super unlucky for you

Ah mate. Almost in tears here!!

He was paying for the next two family holidays but wasn't too be.

He gave PT a great spin and ate up the fences. Talk about hitting the post!

Going for a beer, or 10!:very_drunk:

Was a terrible ride by paul

Committing a weak finisher that far out

Just put a target on his back and inevitably got chinned

Paul probably just got carried away given how well JDB took him through the race. It's one that got away for sure
 
There have been a couple of nasty tired falls today. National tomorrow could be grim viewing

That one looked a tired fall, rather than an injury. Hopefully all is OK.
 
Fell for you on JDB. The moral winner! :biggrin-new:

We all got drawn in on Croke Park there! Shocker.

The fav double should've been my only bet :rapture:

Although Densworth been nicely backed... So I'm forever hopeful

yep, it's probably going to be gluey shit ground tomorrow. Glad to see Kyntara is up and well.
 
James du berlais chinned
croke park pulled up
Go dante gave the rest a 25 length head start only beaten 3 lengths

Had enough for the week my heads gone now, will just be sticking to the national tomorrow
 
6.0 to 20.0 on the exchange the Charles Byrnes runner in the last. People give skelton grief but this guy is the biggest crook out there

He gave him an unbelievable ride but for delivering him too early. He'll ride IAM the same way tomorrow but he'll hit the line hard and 10 lengths clearly hopefully.
