Aintree Day 3 2010 National winner victorious on Day 2

Say hello to Irish Raptor (above) the 2010 Grand National winner. You heard it here first. He loves Aintree, is a sound jumper & is quite a tall horse so wastes less energy in a race than his smaller counterparts. Now Mr Handicapper, put him up 8lbs or so to ensure he makes next years cut (he just missed out of this years event for being too far down in the weights).

Aintree Day 2 But Tragedy Has Ruined 09 For Me

A sad day all round as not only did one of my fave horses Exotic Dancer (top pic) die after his gallant second, in the same race my beloved Denman (above) fell & has hurt his leg. So as I'm in a pre PMT emotional overload mood, I'm too upset to think straight & really don't care one iota about tomorrow. So if said selections are whack, sue me.

Aintree Festival Day 1 - Denman's Day (I hope)

Well another National is very nearly upon us & support for Black Apalachi is strengthening & his odds shorten by the day so I hope you took heed when I flagged him up at 25s. According to Top Dog word is Silver Birch is the winner but no horse bar Red Rum has won it more than once & with how shall we say, legs made of glass, I personally wouldn't touch that horse with a barge pole. Then again with Top Dog flagging up Papillon, Bobbyjo, Red Marauder & Numbersixvalverde as winners in recent years he's the man in form. Notice how they are all bar one is Irish? I swear its a fetish :D - sorry babes xx Anyhoo onto the (hopefully) winning ponies. Mama needs a new pair of shoes!
