Big Buck's in the first nice single, added with Grandouet and Denman for a quid treble. Still thinks BB can do it, but would have a bigger bet just don't think this is BB's 100% ideal track. Grands Crus cannot be underestimated.

Zarkandar has done nothing but impress me, but Grandouet is also a horse I like. 5L to make up but you never know.

Big Buck's
That was breathtaking, how confident Ruby was is absolute testament to the horse.
Hopefully the Grands Crus fan club will now give up.

Sea The Stars on the flat, now Big Buck's over hurdles.
I feel blessed to have been in the same generation as two superstars.

Don't know where he woulda finished, but Grandouet was starting to get into his stride when brought down. Such luck.

Re: Aintree Grand National Meeting 2011 : Thu Apr 07, 2011 1:41 pm  

Don't think it would of gone with the other two.

Lay matched at 2.5

Winner as well

Favs are going well which is strange for Aintree

Re: Aintree Grand National Meeting 2011 : Thu Apr 07, 2011 1:43 pm  

Unsure if he would have found anything else but was really starting to look as if he was motoring.

Zarkandar will be put away til autumn now surely, looked tired towards the end and a bit flat. The way they battled out the finish at Cheltenham, no wonder.

Re: Aintree Grand National Meeting 2011 : Thu Apr 07, 2011 1:45 pm  

Did same at Cheltenham though which is why I laid it good to see it get up though.

Re: Aintree Grand National Meeting 2011 : Thu Apr 07, 2011 1:51 pm  

Yeah only reason I thought that was because Henderson said before the race Aintree should suit better and they nearly skipped Cheltenham to come here fresh.

Fingers crossed better luck for Denman than his last run at the track.
