Aintree… where dreams do come true.
What a fantastic day for racing. Racheal Blackmore winning the Grand National was the crowning glory to what has been a terrific year for this talented young lady. Whilst there isn’t a lot of top flight women NH jockeys out there, there is no doubt they are right up there with the best of their male counterparts.
Bryony Frost is another right up there with the best of them and it is her words that captivates what racing means to all us racing fans when she paid tribute to ‘Frodon’ after winning the Ryanair chase…
“He's got his day, guys. He is Pegasus, he has got wings. He is the most incredible battler. He has beat everything out there.
He travelled, my God he jumped. That moment he got overtaken two out, most horses would quit. But no, he grabbed me by my hand and said, 'No, don't you dare give up. Don't you dare not send me into the last. I want this more than you, now come on, where are you?”
Aintree day 3 results…
National bets…talkischeap…never going PU…. Farclas..ran a cracker finishing 7th.
Two Aintree bets…Janika...poor run, never got involved…. Thomas Darby ran well to finish 3rd 28/1
As for the chocolate tipping competition….it was a walkover as I was the only one to enter…. yum! yum! the chocolates are lovely
I’m not advocating betting online…. it’s a free to enter competition with no monetary outlay.
