I'm not a fan of racing but some of the lads at work are. They reckon Gold cup day is in a different league to the grand national and they go to both each year.

Different types of events, Grand National I prefer as I usually go on a freebie!

anyway, balls to the which is better debate, what horses are people going for, I haven't had a winner yet this week!

He's a quality horse, that is for sure, but it seems the best years are behind him.

End of the day it is, and always will be, a gamble

Morning Guys!!

Fantastic info today for the 2.40 Albert Barlett Novices...

Been informed by my man at the Malcolm Jefferson Stable, That this CAPE TRIBULATION Is the best horse in the Stable since DATO STAR back in the late 1990's!! This horse is the Stable Star, Met up with my contact and a few others in Slug And Lettuce yesterday after Racing for a few drinks.. He told me that the Malc and the Stable were looking at a massive run today, Ive took sum 7/2 had a decent decent size bet..

This Horse was only 70% fit when trotting up at Donny late January! They didnt expect it to win, With On Raglan Road 100% and Backed of the boards! But this Boy Waltzed up the run in scoring by 17l!!!. He has come out of this race perfect and improved leaps and bounds!!!!... The plan was Aintree, But this is screaming 4 the run!!!.. The motor this one has is the best Malc has ever known! And although Chelts is a tough place to grab a winner, The stable are very confident this will go very very very close! The strongest bet ive had from my man!.. Cant get any stronger, this is the best they got.

Stable have backed this!..

Again Horses arent machine but this is as strong as it gets bet wise..

Only passing on what i have been told..

Have a great days punting!

The best day bar none in the National Hunt Year!

Happy Punting...

Where's Ash? Get me £20 on mate
