I don't think it will get banned, more likely just the fences will get lower over the years and change like they have with the plastic ones this year.

Yeah pretty much agree with this. I don't think it'll get banned anytime soon, just more steps will be taken to try and make it 'safer'. Always sad to hear about Horses having to be put down after a fall or as a result of injuries though.

I'm thinking of plumping a tenner on Seabass mainly because he has the same name as the Pro Evo lead designer/producer :slol: I like the sound of Imperial Commander as well.

Imperial Commander was a fairly big shock when he won the Gold Cup - is pretty old and has a lot of weight. I'm avoiding that one.

Balthazar King (because it sounds like balls for sucking)
Colbert Station (because the colours are a bit like Master Chief)
Teaforthree (because my son picked it)
Sunnyhillboy (because I don't know)

£2.50 EW on all of them.

I've just had a nice £25 lift on Southampton beating Reading 2-0, so that's covered all my bets on this. Hope I haven't used up all my luck.

Come on! 3 £1 bets on these quadrupeds to win. One of them better do the business!

Love the National. Got e/w bets on Cappa, Seabass, Imperial Commander, Ballabriggs and Sunnyhill. If any details of them bink I'm in profit.

But on the bright side the cost of a supermarket lasagne will go down next week.

On His Own (10/1) and Sunnyhillboy (20/1), both E/W.

At least one of my horses died last year, so the only way is up...
