tempted to go large on Grand Cru in the next. It was the one to back before the start of the meeting and nothing has changed so............

Bang or bust on Grand Cru @ 2.22.

fozzybear · 14 Mar 2012 at 14:39

Grands Crus should win but I can't be backing a horse in a win single over fences at 6-5. I've done the Grands Crus/Sizing Europe double instead.

booyaka · 14 Mar 2012 at 14:49

i feel sick

very poor - nothing there at all - not even a sniff. Thought when he got level he would push on but very very poor show.

fozzybear · 14 Mar 2012 at 14:52

Another winner for me but had Bobs Worth in an EW patent with a loser and Harry The Viking (2nd) in the 1.30.

Strange run from Grands Crus. Maybe lacking a bit of fitness on his 1st run for 79 days.

scottomus0 · 14 Mar 2012 at 14:53

soo poor, cost me too!

do i try and win back on sizing!

dangerous game to play! but good luck!

Went for a long shot in the 16:00, Final Approach. It always does well when jockeyed by Ruby. Worth an EW punt at least at 30/1.

rickjames · 14 Mar 2012 at 15:19

Finishing off today with £2.49 on Sizing Europe/Get Me Out Of Here/Vendor.

rickjames · 14 Mar 2012 at 15:33

That's some of the worst officiating ever, no way would SE lost that if they sorted it out.

THE DOC · 14 Mar 2012 at 15:39

scottomus0 · 14 Mar 2012 at 15:57

rickjames · 14 Mar 2012 at 16:01

£5 Get Me Out Of Here 8/1
£10 free bet on Vendor 4/1

Done.

Very poor ride from Scudamore on Kazlian in the 4.40. Committed the horse far too soon and paid the price.

Yep. Fortunately SkyBet had e/w on the first 4 places
