A Horse With No Name Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I believe there's a horse called something "Fontaine". I'll not be betting on him... I just drew out Rare Bob in the sweep. We have a Bob (Reid) and his appearances are very rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingswood Robin Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Why don't they strap the bloke that stopped the boat race to the top of Beechers Brook. If he wants attention that badly, I'd gladly watch that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGAZRUSS Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 calgary bay has a very decent chance depending on the ground but i think he might not be able to stay on towards the end well enough as long as they jump well its between ballabriggs and syncrinised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely clueless there are some very decent horses in this field, and ballabriggs is 11'10 which is veeeeeery heavy and Synchronizsd is the laziest horse in the field. If ground is soft West End rocker and Gilles Cross will have big money put on them on the day......Because I couldn't see is a very decent horse and improved greatly. Synchronizsd at 7s is far too short and Junior at 12s won't finish IMO......Ballabriggs is a great horse but the extra weight and soft ground will hinder him........ All depends on the ground, and we can't be sure of that until tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agree too much weight on Ballabrigs and Synchronised West end rocker looks a good chance but hasnt had a run for some time which would be my concern (although has won after long lay off in past). Giles Cross looks great if it softens up. My pic is the irish horse Killyglen Ticks all the trend boxes, off a decent weight, was stalking winner last year before making a sloppy jumping error near end, aimed at this race all season, won his prep race, jockey has previous win on Silver Birch in 2008. Looks a very good bet at 20-1 e.w Granted some muppet horse might take it out on first jump but thats the same for any entry i suppose. good luck all!

Volta Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 sorry for having an opinion on who will win .. we shall see tomorrow It's one thing having an opinion, another thing completely misguiding people by saying its between 2 horses.....which ironically are the favourites. Ballabriggs is a great horse, won me a shit load last year......but at 11'10 he has a job on in a MUCH better field than last year. I fancy a 12-16/1 shot this year.

Wardie Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 On his own, Seabass and Neptune Collognes are the three I will probably be backing tomorrow. More than likely change my mind in the morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DantheCityman Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Personally i cant see synchronised completing the course. I have no doubts he will stay the distance however his jumping was very sketchy. I am going to put 1 pound each way on State of Play because he has placed in all 3 of his runs in the Grand National.
