I forgot about it until later yesterday so didn't bother, made a few small bets today.

Gets me some money back to spend smile

Not sure if I'm being thick, I can't remember how this works. Should Virgilio have paid for placing? I think it was 1/5 EW

edit: I don't know what's going on with Tinypic, the image doesn't load half the time...

It only pays to 2 places though as there were only 5 runners.

Also, how did Rather Be only pay you £3.94 from a 50p stake?

Oh of course.

And I think that should be correct, unit stake of 0.25 E/W.

25p e/w = 25p to win, 25p to be placed, at 11/1 with 1/4 odds per place.

win = 11 x 25p = 2.75
placed first = (11/4) x 25p = 0.69
= 3.44 profit
+ both 25p stakes returned
= 3.94 total return

So gents, I feel an afternoon in front of the telly tomorrow.

What do you fancy? I'm a bit of a Ruby Walsh fan, although I know nothing about horse racing. I usually do a few quid on the Cheltenham Festival and Ruby did ok for me!!

For the National, it's such a big field and such a long race, it's not much point in picking on form - is it? I usually pick a name I like. The under card, if you like, might provide a bit of sport if there's any tips?

i cant see past....

Definitly Red

DEFINITLY RED's position at the head of the betting looks well and truly justified after his beating of last year’s runner-up The Last Samuri at Doncaster and he can end the run of big-priced winners with a historic victory. Vieux Lion Rouge has improved plenty since his seventh 12 months ago and can go well, while a strong Irish challenge is headed by Ucello Conti and Pleasant Company.

No next up as made my dough for the day and not much interest at Kempton this evening. Maybe a fun couple of quid ew on lucky Luke (Morris) in the lucky last. But what bugs me is that Milton Bradley has gone there with only one runner and according to its price is ste!!
