The Aintree meeting thread

No horse has done the Gold Cup/National double since 1934 mate.
Do you seriously think Synchronised is as good as Golden Miller?

I remember garrisons savannah nearly doing it 20 years ago,backed it too..

Its the weight for me aswel,only red rum in the last 60 years has carried what synchronised is about to do and won...

And that was a freak.

Shocking false price for me,but all the old dears will put their pension on it,because McCoy is the only jockey they have heard of.
Please don't mention Garrison's Savannah to me again.
I had a small fortune in accumulators going onto The Fellow in the Gold Cup in 1991,was there,and honestly thought he had won.
Beaten the shortest of short heads by your horse.
I didn't speak to anyone all the way home,and drank a bottle of Jameson's.
Won most of it back next day with a raging hangover on a dreadful open race at Belle Vue dogs.

Was a brilliant horse the fellow and deserved more than 1 gold cup & a couple of king georges

Lots of folk reckon it was Adam kondrats fault it never achieved more.

Back to the national,the best weighted horse ive ever seen was rough quest back in 96,how the fuck this horse carried 10 stone 7 is beyond me....cleaned up that day.

I think you should be safe with your first two selections!
Only one serious bet on the card for me - Kazlian in the 17.05.

Bluemoon tipsters. How do you rate On his owns chances.

Ruby has chosen it over Seabass, had a decent prep win at Gowran Park and Willie Mullins is a shrewd trainer,so it must be in with a fair shout.

I quiet fancied this one, just the age for me over these fences,i'm more a stats man and only a couple of 8 year olds have won the national in nearly 30 years..

Would def be looking at horses aged 9 to 11 and carrying 11 stone or less....

Sky tipster say Chicago grey - too many jumping errors of late

 

[MCFC1993]

I fancy Calgary Bay, Irish horse, 9 years old, not raced since January but think he's won his last 2 races. 33/1 think i'm going £2.50 e/w.

As well as going each way on Ballabriggs and Synchronised.
