Title: John Smith's Grand National Post by: seven2unsuited on March 17, 2008, 07:11:44 AM Not too long to go untill this race is up again, anyone got any decent early big price tips? Was looking a D'argent don't know much about the horse but looks as though it may do the distance could be decent e/w at 40/1. either that or i will close my eyes and pick ;)
Title: Re: John Smith's Grand National Post by: steeveg on March 17, 2008, 09:59:11 AM havent got a strong fancy ,i checked form out last week and it dosent look a strong race this year, cloudy lane looks best to me ,should run a great race ,7/1 price expected to fall, interesting news for next years race though, 1 of the owners of denman was saying before the gold cup that not only will denman run in next years grand national he will win it,iif they offer a decent price straight after this years national i will be having a bet
Title: Re: John Smith's Grand National Post by: boldie on March 17, 2008, 10:12:11 AM Denman will not go for the National next year..hey thought about it before the GC but have decided it'd be silly as the horse is WAY too good for an ordinary handicap.
I have yet to see any stand out horses for the national this year. Cloudy Lane at 7's is looking way too skinny for me..but it's one of the weakest nationals in years. I'll see what comes over from Ireland before deciding what to bet on. Title: Re: John Smith's Grand National Post by: steeveg on March 17, 2008, 10:30:04 AM Denman will not go for the National next year..hey thought about it before the GC but have decided it'd be silly as the horse is WAY too good for an ordinary handicap. right thanks, yeah he must love the race but it is taking a bit of a risk ,and i always think of alverton ,so cant blame him for changing his mind, 7/1 is skinny for the national and i always look for value but could start at 5/1 on the day with it being a weak race , i wouldnt say i fancy it that stongly but i just cant see anything better myself ,as you say ,may be worth looking for a dark horse coming over from ireland, I have yet to see any stand out horses for the national this year. Cloudy Lane at 7's is looking way too skinny for me..but it's one of the weakest nationals in years. I'll see what comes over from Ireland before deciding what to bet on. Title: Re: John Smith's Grand National Post by: vegaslover on March 17, 2008, 10:47:26 AM So far this year it seems to be about picking out horses that can't win, rather than those that can.
As usual will wait until the week of the race, the ground and weights after the 5 day decs are all i'll be interested in.

At one stage this was clear favourite for the national but a bad race has allowed the price to drift. I still think he is very well handicapped and will have a big chance. Title: Re: John Smith's Grand National Post by: vegaslover on March 17, 2008, 11:07:22 AM Im on Snowy Morning E/W at 24-1. I liked this at one stage, then saw it and ruled it out. was 10s at the times, might have a tiny place bet on itAt one stage this was clear favourite for the national but a bad race has allowed the price to drift. I still think he is very well handicapped and will have a big chance.

Title: Re: John Smith's Grand National Post by: boldie on March 17, 2008, 04:40:31 PM This is enough for me;
http://www.sportinglife.com/racing/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=racing/08/03/17/RACING_National_Pointment.html 25-1 looked big..convinced it is too big now. If MR Pointment runs in the national he won't be bigger than 12's. Title: Re: John Smith's Grand National Post by: mickyp on March 17, 2008, 09:12:52 PM I think Bewleys Berry could go well.Was traveling well when coming down last year.3lbs better off with mr pointment for a length beating earlier on ,over the course.Currently best price 16/1.
Title: Re: John Smith's Grand National Post by: vegaslover on March 17, 2008, 10:29:44 PM Pointment may have too much to carry.
Had a brief look and will keep an eye on Bewleys Berry and Point Barrow Title: Re: John Smith's Grand National Post by: mondatoo on March 17, 2008, 11:57:23 PM I'm waiting for Bandit to select 39 horses that he thinks have a chance, and then I'm putting my house on the remaining horse. Thanks, you fish, I actually laughed out loud in work at this and got in trouble for being on Blonde! Lol been there ... Its no wonder that the general public don't like gambling when this is only punt they have in a year still can't see the logic in why people choose to only bet on 1 race a year;that race being the hardest 1 to pick a winner (history and all that i no but still) Quite funny last year me dad got his wife(my step mam) to put his bets on she accidently picked up all our bets as well so he had more than half the runners in the race lol. And his own pick won think he was up £2 lol. Title: Re: John Smith's Grand National Post by: GlasgowBandit on March 18, 2008, 12:50:22 PM Joes Edge?
Put in a poorish performance at Cheltenham, and there is no doubting that the horse can jump these fences and go well, I think he may be ok at the weights given his last few races and watching him go round Cheltenham he looked as if he was given an easy time by Nina.

Joes Edge scraped a Scottish National and has done nothing since. He is low in the weights (needs about 10 horses to come out of the national or he won't get in..but that shold happen) but is also 11 years old now and has no improvement left. He's rated about 20 lbs less than any of the last 5 winners. Sometimes a crap horse being given an easy ride is just that...a crap hopeless case.

Another I like the look of is King Johns Castle - could be some valoo in that at 40/1 I think it will place if it runs.

God help me mate but I think you've found some value there! 40-1 is indeed way too big for this one. Aintree has been his target for a while. His weight should ensure he gets in and his for makes him look like a solid stayer who will jump. This is typically the sort of horse the Irish go nuts over the week before the national. In fact the only thing that could stop this horse from winning could be you backing it. ;) Title: Re: John Smith's Grand National Post by: GlasgowBandit on March 18, 2008, 01:31:07 PM Joes Edge?

Well i have stuck it on D'argent e/w while i have dough. Also fancy jarvis' horse in the Lincoln on Saturday, think its the 1st race of season for robinson. you on it bandit???
Title: Re: John Smith's Grand National Post by: Josedinho on March 27, 2008, 04:58:32 PM Price is even shorter now.
If nothing else you've got good value. Title: Re: John Smith's Grand National Post by: scotty2hatty on March 27, 2008, 05:06:25 PM Price is even shorter now. If nothing else you've got good value. Saw it mentioned in The Sun today, into 16s. McCoy likely to be onboard. Title: Re: John Smith's Grand National Post by: seven2unsuited on March 27, 2008, 06:52:47 PM mcCoy must win one before he packs it in surely. Gonna put a bet on Simon too i think. 14/1

Title: Re: John Smith's Grand National Post by: Josedinho on April 01, 2008, 10:26:15 AM If your life depended on it is there anybody that wouldn't be on Cloudy Lane?
Just want to know if people don't think it'll win or think it'll win but won't back it at those odds. Black Apalchi and Joaaci are the two long shots i've gone for.

Get involved! Title: Re: John Smith's Grand National Post by: steeveg on April 01, 2008, 12:10:55 PM cloudy lane looks like he should run a great race and has the ideal going,but at 5/1 thers no value, ive backed him already,and will sell a bit if he drops to 5.5, theres a few horses like kings johns castle who i would of fancied a lot if the going was testing but it dosent look like it will be,the weather has been fine the last few days in liverpool. comply or die should run a great race on the ground and has decent form, 13.5 on the exchanges. after last years race it thought i would be backing mckelvey ,he ran a great race ,he was found to be lame after the race, the trainer says there is no problem with his legs but the bookies are offering 14/1, the 30/1+ the exchanges are offering may mean something is wrong so its put me off a bit, slim pickings must be another 1 to consider he will go on the ground ,ran a great race last year, and lots of money for him ,i wouldnt take 5/1 for cloudy lane,might be better having an ew bet on slim pickings at 12/1.
Title: Re: John Smith's Grand National Post by: Horneris on April 04, 2008, 11:59:05 PM The night before the race i am leaning towards Bewleys Berry. Probs change my mind by the race tho.
Title: Re: John Smith's Grand National Post by: Karabiner on April 05, 2008, 12:11:26 AM I'm firmly with Cloudy Lane, if it gets a clear round in I cannot see this getting beaten.

How bookies still offer only 4 places on the National is beyond me. shop bets will still make up a huge % of bets struck, the honest truth is they dont need to offer 5 places to still take loads of bets.

Had King Johns Castle e/w to break even for the day which is nice. Had my free £5 on Mr Pointment so was quite excited for most of the race, shame he couldn't hold on. GG WP Title: Re: John Smith's Grand National Post by: GlasgowBandit on April 05, 2008, 05:18:18 PM Joes Edge? Put in a poorish performance at Cheltenham, and there is no doubting that the horse can jump these fences and go well, I think he may be ok at the weights given his last few races and watching him go round Cheltenham he looked as if he was given an easy time by Nina. Joes Edge scraped a Scottish National and has done nothing since. He is low in the weights (needs about 10 horses to come out of the national or he won't get in..but that shold happen) but is also 11 years old now and has no improvement left. He's rated about 20 lbs less than any of the last 5 winners. Sometimes a crap horse being given an easy ride is just that...a crap hopeless case. So you don't think Joe's Edge has a chance then? Another I like the look of is King Johns Castle - could be some valoo in that at 40/1 I think it will place if it runs. Ohhh yee of little faith, if only the rain had come folks this could have been a really good shout. Glasgow Bandit = The New Pricewise :) Title: Re: John Smith's Grand National Post by: ChipRich on April 05, 2008, 05:38:04 PM Up around £100, most on Comply or Die, then had King Johns castle to place too. Shib it.

Title: Re: John Smith's Grand National Post by: boldie on April 05, 2008, 06:01:48 PM 6-1 is a nice price for it ..the draw would be a bit of a concern but I reckon it could come from behind as well.

Betting shop workers tend to go out on the piss together at the end of Grand National day. Title: Re: John Smith's Grand National Post by: GlasgowBandit on April 05, 2008, 10:28:02 PM I haven't a clue the sign on the door said it was open to 9:30 which I would have expected but the shutters were down and staff still inside - vv. strange.
