David Pluck's & Hill's are my local bookies and neither are paying first 5. Pluck's odds are a fecking disgrace also. They had Backsatge at 16/1 so I went round the corner and took the 25/1 with Billy Hills. Not got tinternet account or def would've looked for first 5 online. Think it's an utter joke that the bookies pay first 4 e/w in a race with 40 runners

.

I'm also on Comply or Die at 16's e/w. Here's hoping for a bit of beer money to toast Salford's win tomorrow.

I have gone for Irish Raptor as I think he is great odds and dont really fancy any of the favourites.

Great ride AP McCoy

. About time he did something in the national

. Bit gutted as I thought both mine were going well until Backstage unseated at the 19th/20th after being hampered and C.O.D just ran out of gas towrds the end.

guess whos not talking to wifey, my original tip from Thursday because in Uniteds protest colours and the number 6 i wore when having to play Yawnian under protest at Uni, and she says this and then that and so I changed to Snowy Morning Doh!!!!!

I put my shirt (actually £2.50 each way) on King John's Castle. I think he's still at the starting post. How's that for a shrewd investment?

But then all I know about horseracing is that generally it's the nostril first and the har-soul last.
