Hi folks this is Patrick's brother. Just really to say many thanks for all the kind words everyone has had to say about him. It's really nice to know he was so well liked and touched as many people's lives as he did.

RIP Bro
My hero

Personally think that Detroit City will take a lot of beating, however 11st 12lb could prove his downfall, an awful lot of weight for a 4 yo.

Of the others, I like the look of Crow Wood. Was a decent horse on the flat and has some good form to its name over hurdles (beat Desert Quest at Wincanton last time with some other decent yardsticks further behind). 

Well in my opinion (and I am going with my head and not my heart here), I seriously think that Celtic could qualify from this group. We are capable of beating Benfica and Copenhagen at Celtic Park. We cannot expect to get anything from Old Trafford but the Man Utd game at Celtic Park with the crowd behind us we may manage a point. Also get maybe a point or victory against Copenhagen and I would reckon we would just be about there....

I wouldnt want to go to Copenhagen though HAVING to win to qualify....

Can I just get back to the MAIN point of this thread.....


 

   

Was just playing a 10 man SnG on Laddies there with none other than Tony Culhane (jockey). He says his mount (Jord) i 1st race at Redcar should win. It's a Channon 1st timer and he normally good with Channon horses.

Around the 9/4 - 5/2 mark on attheraces.com

He doesn't liek the soft going.

  

I like Hedgehunter & Clan Royal, however I think for a race with 30 runners and no guarantees your horse will finish (remember Clan Royal the past 2 years - looked like the winner a furlong from home in 04 then in 05 got carried out on the last circuit). For me, the prices are far too short in such a race.

imo they are the 2 best horses in the race, I just wouldn't be comfortable taking such a short price on those 2. I have always had a bet in the National, however I am seriously considering not having a bet in this year's race.

 

I've just backed Ames (3 shots clear) at 2.4 on Betfair. Think this is a massive price. Also had a saver on Vijay Singh at 9.5
