[saint_stevo]

is that Chris? i've called him - will call again now...

 

Yes. ok........

[labibs]

For me today:

 

13:30 Spirit Son (stake back if Cue Card wins)

14:05 Ghizao

14:40 Sunnyhillboy

15:20 Peddlar's Cross

16:00 Majimar (got on at 9's last night, before he came in massively!)

16:40 I think Quevega will win, but odds too short for me!

17:15 Tullamore Dew e/w.

 

No massive surprises to be fair! Good luck to all

[chrisobee]

Aside from a freebie on Captain Chris am betting on none of these but for the sack of various tipping challenges/this thread :

 

1.30 Cue Card/Al Ferof ew

2.05 Captain Chris ew/ Finians Rainbow ew

2.40 Sunnyhilly Boy ew

3.20 Hurricane Fly

4.00 Garde Champetre

4.40 Quevega should win, if not then Sparky May but value gone for me.

5.15 Tullamore Dew ew Definitely a race for using a pin to find the winner, Tullamore Dew seems popular though and not just on here !

 

Good luck all, mainly just going to enjoy the racing and hope we can land a few winners on here.

[fish fingers]

13.30 Cue card & 14:40 Sunnyhill Boy as a win double

14:05 Medermit win

15:20 Menorah win

16:00 L'ami win

16:40 Alasi e/w

17:15 Definity win

[SNSUN]

Yay, my favourite timme of the year to spunk my money awqay in pointless fashion, let's see who I annoy with my choices...

 

First off, 13:30. Recession Proof

[labibs]

Ah Ruby just pips me at the end! Would have been a hell of start to the festival. Great ride from Ruby though, he's back in business.

Great ride. Came inside well at the last and just ran away

[saint_stevo]

i e-mailed my selections to a bloke in my office.

 

 

He is currently celebrating his win on Al Ferof.

[SNSUN]

YES!!! Stuck a last minute bet on my namesake Captain Chris, £5 to win at 8/1. I hardly ever bet on horses to win, so chuffed with that.

[SNSUN]

14:40 Adam's Island e/w (though I've hardly bet anything, I wasn't going to bet on this race.)

[saint_stevo]

Lots of my hopes now pinned on Dunguib and Khyber Kim!
