2.15 - BUVEUR D´AIR - Smashed in this morning to take on Limini will stay all day long now 7/4 was 5/2

2.50 -

BLAKLION - This horse has been well prepped 3/1 currently.



4.40 - BALLYDINE - 11/2 currently EW - Expected to run a big race

5.15 - Utility - 7/1 EW - ONeill Johnson Combo - Johnson won 4/8 in these type of races for the yard.

As SBAndy said its a difficult day so wouldnt risk too much today.

The fact Limini is drifting doesn't really concern me. Seen plenty of occasions where a hot favourite drifts massively on the day and still beats the field.

Still very true, and I myself expect Limini to win, but two my tipsters are going against it today, and after their records the past 3 years at Aintree I am not one to argue, plus they make me hundreds a week, Will still have Limini incase though as more value in it now.

Had a forecast double on Limini/Buveur D'air and Vautour/Gods Own. Only a couple of quid.

And Vautour falls, and Gods Own wins. This day is ridiculous.

Find that really shocking. That's over 150 a year just in the UK. Just googled a bit about it and it looks like you can treble that when you take into account deaths that don't occur during a race.

How is that allowed to happen with seemingly so little opposition?

For one very good reason - money. It should be banned but Cheltenham is even worse.

The national is a disgrace as it allows far too many horses in the actual race many of which are totally ill equipped. It's far too long and many get withdrawn during the race and are shot afterwards.

The notion they are treated like kings during their career is crap as well. Most are destroyed or abandoned and all are condemned to 22 hours a day in a box rather than their natural environment.

It's a brutal brutal industry and the notion that owners and jockeys care about the horses is bollocks. They are generally a very unpleasant bunch.

They just banned greyhound racing where I live, but it doesn't seem half as dangerous as horses jumping over obstacles.

Tomorrow I've got:

Holywell e/w
Saint Are e/w
Douvan/Thistlecrack/Silviniaco Conti win treble

Don't think Conti will win but he's one of my favourite horses so I'd kick myself if I didn't back him and he won.

How many boxers have died because of their sport? How many wrestlers? The list could go on. Oh, and don't say "They have a choice." Why do you think a horse will refuse a jump? Because it thinks "Fuck it. I can't be arsed!" And why do you think a horse will finish a race? Because it fuckin' LOVES it!

I knew someone would say that.

It shows that on the intelligence spectrum you are below a horse.

Always makes me laugh that someone would be so brain dead to think that.

Thing is, it has been proved that horses are not at all clever and will therefore more than likely do what they are forced to do.
