Nah it was Philsons Run because the name of the driver who took me to my wedding was called Philip and slim pickings was the name of the building opposite our room in the Ramada in ayr on the night of our wedding after our reception! I actually think Philson Run was 100-1!! 10pshortof17pound 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was half way there - anyway, my tip for tomorrow is Chase the Spud ( not each way, just one way - fuck off home now the famine is over). Usual disclaimers apply. Somewhere along the line I think I saw you got sorted out for tickets for Sunday - for the sake of good guys like yourself I hope the Rangers you deserve turn up on the day. If they do I look forward to your response next Wednesday or Thursday. jintybear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theblueoysterbar 19,628 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Nick Mordin used to have a system that worked pretty well for the National but it stopped working when they redid the fences for 2013. Have worked out some new rules based on the last 10 Grand Nationals. Percentage in brackets after the rule is the percentage of winners over the last 10 years that the rule applied to, if that makes sense.

born a blue nose 90,784 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Other than it being a 7 year old, I really like the look of the bookies worst outcome in baie des iles. Irish Mud loving grey, Walsh's sister on it riding for her husband. 50/1 down to 16s It's got grand national fairytale written all over it but 7 year olds have a near non existent record in the national. I'll be on total recall and my outsider will be gas line boy. Will cover the grey, just in case. And if TBOB whittles his elimination process down to one or two I'll stick a small stake on that. Good luck everyone that's backing the same GGs as me Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
