After betting £60 get about £25 back. I think they need to make it easier on TV to know who is in which position.

Looks like Cappa Bleu should have made me some money from my £6 ew bet at 12/1. Not sure how much yet.

Well I got 4th! Annoyingly both of my horses (Oscar Time & Balthazar King) were at the front for the majority of the race. I only put 50p on each each way though :lol:. Probably haven't made very much, even at 66/1.

I had Imperial Commander and Across the Bay in a sweepstake. Ah well. First time I'd ever been in a betting shop (or "bookie") before. Will do again next year.

Yet again I am strawberry floating useless.

Yet again my girlfriend, as she did at Cheltenham, gets her money back :( she had £2.50 e/w on oscer time.

Satisfaction that no one got hurt though.

Ultimately the actual race was no were near as good as last years. If it wasn't for the deaths it would have been hailed more for it.

I could never bring myself to bet on something like this; with the number of animals that are killed it's practically a blood sport.

£55.62 for a decent if small profit.

£8.75 not that bad, considering I only put 50p each way on two horses. I might increase it to £1 each way next year. :oops:
