Aintree Festival 2010

Some great racing with Imperial Commander and Big Bucks amongst others out today. However its a big ask to win in both Cheltenham and Aintree. I'm going for Super Kenny @ 5/1 in the novice hurdle. He missed Cheltenham and should be primed for this race.

Its hard to see either Imperial Commander or Big Bucks being beaten but I won't be backing them at short prices.

 

i fancy what a friend to topple imperial commander today

 

Hey Big Spender 4:55

 

Fancy what a friend to beat imperial and Sanctuaire in the 2.35pm - going to the bookies at lunch time to sort a few bets

 

I hope not, just to rub more salt into Whiskey Noses wounds.

 

Big Bucks and Imperial Commander double for me, can't deal with another bloodbath like Cheltenham so its gonna be small stakes !

 

i think you're mad. When was the last time a horse won the gold cup and went on to win at Aintree?
What a friend has by-passed Chelts for this race, he's fresh.

 

bang on you have to go with the fresh horse

 

while I agree with yers, I hope your both wrong. Don;t want anything cheering whiskey nose up today

 

Just backed the PP enhanced double Big Bucks & Imperial Commander both to win @ 7/4

€20 on Hey Big Spender aswell now 6/1

 

Did a Euro Yankee on Young Kenny,Nedzers Return(jockey from Trim,has had terrible time with injuries in past 5 years,so really would love him to get a big winner),Watch My Back,and Silverhand. Stab in the dark stuff.

Also stuck 30 on a Powerplay Double,Big Bucks and Liverpool,6/5

 

Backed him at Cheltenham and he fell so I will try again here too.

 

Big Bucks is a great horse isn't he?

Good win again today.

 

He is a great horse, 8 wins in a row but he was made work for that one. Possell ran a great race. For a minute I didnt think Big Bucks was gonna get up, certainly a tougher race for him than cheltenham.

 

Had to pick him up but went away well after the last or so I heard.

 

Had barizan at 11/2 in my e/w lucky 15.

up next hopefully what a friend to complete the big bucks double, otherwise imperial commander in a double with trust fund - hopefully the first please!

 

Well my Aintree has started badly anyway, Sanctuaire was my main bet today!

 

I hope What a Friend wins and Fergie is there to see it, cos i have €30 on him - then runs off the track and boots Fergie in his horrible whiskey nose

 

davy condon won on some 40/1 shot, he would have been the LAST horse in the race i'd have backed.
