Good morning folks!
Not much opportunity to blog recently - quick thoughts on today's feature contest! Yes I know for the purist it's Binocular versus Peddlers versus Oscar but we cannot ignore the Grand National; the BBC will not allow it! It is, to their naive eyes, the only horse race of the year! Slightly tongue in cheek but you know what I mean.
I have backed and laid Ballabriggs sometime ago (don't think he will win today!). The public love a good story so anything from the McCain yard is precious! Not good enough; may not stay.
Backstage - small win bet some time ago also. Gordon Elliot is de rigueur at the moment and anything he runs is of interest. Mon Mome apart dreadful race for the Frenchie-breds so my enthusiasm is tempered.
My four fancies are:
Silver By Nature - decided that the ground will not be an issue over extreme distance which he is certain to stay; a Welsh National victory behind him; excellent profile, capable trainer and jockey, in right odds bracket. Get on!
Tidal Bay - this trip may be just what this quirky character needs; course form; trainer may have been cute in readying for today; touch of class - the downside is the weight on his back. May be a tad too much! Race profile is changing though.
West End Rocker - because he's on my list of horses to follow and the trainer fancies him. Oh and he's 33/1.
Oscar Time - Nick Mordin says so and he is God!
Good luck all.
Hope all the horses come back safe and sound in every race today and every day!
