GRcade

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.

Roberto Goldback £11 to win @ 28/1 after watching the Garaghty/Henderson show yesterday.

Rare Bob £5 to win at 18/1

Then a few £3 e/w on 5 places

Soll 33/1
Mr Moonshine 80/1
Mumbles Head 100/1
Major Malarkey 80/1

£41 total spend.

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 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.

Got four horses each way -

TeaForThree
Rare Bob
Treacle
Harry The Viking

Balthazar King - 20/1 - £4 To Win
Always Waning - 33/1 - £2 E/W
The Rainbow Hunter - 80/1 - £1 E/W

Going for my third straight national win

On His Own - 9/1
Soll - 40/1
Becauseicouldntsee - 66/1

One more year I'm not going to see that money coming back

Bet Victor are paying out 6 places.

Have £5ew on the following

Imperial Commander
Colbert Station
Balthzar King
Rare Bob
Soll
Any Currency

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!

£1 on Garlicky Aftertaste

I wonder how many horses will inevitably be killed during/after this

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.

SKYBET officially the worst ever

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...

Got £5 on Join Together. Fingers crossed this isn't literally his last day alive!

Slightly regretting not betting one of the favourites
