That's a bit mad - I backed Local Hero, Caroles Legacy and Herons Well.... and lost on them all. :lol:

Done each way bets for the National on Majestic Concorde, Silver By Nature and Ornais (as my outsider on 80/1).

I've place my GN bets (for the first time ever

):

Me and my dad have gone each way on Silver By Nature, Backstage, Oscar Time and Arbor Supreme.

Well nothing for me, one finished 12th and the other got pulled up! Well done Pete on your 2nd place.

Shame about 2 horses dying, don't recall that happening for a good few years.

The winner only just got through by the looks of things... he looked knackered!

Don't like hearing about horses dying - the hot conditions can't have helped.

More losing for me - not one winner in 3 days of betting. Time to give up for another year I think! Well done Pete!

Congrats Pete... none of mine finished!

by **Spartan** » Sun Apr 10, 2011 3:09 pm

Cheers guys. My Dad let me keep the £22.50 winnings: every little helps.

...and that Peter Toole is fighting for his life in hospital.

So who's betting for tomorrow?

I think I'm going for each way bets on Treacle, Quiscover Fontaine and Seabass.

(PS. 2 years since "ba-bye boys!" aka June Sarpong aka Kim Fox from EastEnders).

I won nada this year.

by **Thriller** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 6:26 pm

One of the most gripping races I've seen, that finish was incredibly close! A lot of faller this year. I won for third but not sure how much, won't be a lot!

Sad to hear the favourite Synchronised and According To Pete died

by **steophonic** » Sun Apr 15, 2012 12:56 pm

I got some money back on Seabass.. I put my bet on when it was 22-1!

Really bad to see horses dying, especially Synchronised which I also backed and it had previously won me some money at Cheltenham - it was a great horse. :cry:
