Get stuck in Trev.
Caldwell potter is a non runner so can I change it to Brighterdaysahead please Β£1,200
Cheers
That was a an easy change
Yes, that non runner did you a favour mate
I got a winner in the first, I thought my grey in the second was going to give me two in a row but he sadly ran out of steam. Brighterdaysahead was just far too strong for the rest of the field, would have been nice to have had a couple of quid ew on the 2nd and 3rd placed horses though

Thatβs going to be a good horse in the future, I should have guessed in the first as Iβve always been told if a trainer has 2 in the race back the outsider of the two lol

Since it's a bit of fun I will do it, but Caldwell Potter was declared a non runner the day before, so it's a bit cheeky

Well done Mike on a good win. I was rubbish as usual but had a couple of outsiders come in 2nd & 3rd on the final day.
Well done all in the competition and a big thank you to Murray for running it. Good fun as always.

Well done MIL, some brave betting paid off. My last shot did manage 2nd in the last race but just fell short.
A great days racing and a good bit of fun again, well done to all those who took part and thanks Muzza for running it for us.

Thanks all; and thanks to Murray for helping to run and crunch the numbers etc
It was good fun
I still look at a couple of my runners and think they're going to win
I still think "Bob Olinger" wins
On the plus side I now gamble once a year, and only on the National
I was all in on Maximus so booked a 3 night trip to York last night on him

Brilliant, he did run a fantastic race, one of the best Nationals I can remember.
I did used to like a dabble on the National, I'd usually have a Win bet on something around 12-1 & a couple of quid each way on an outsider, I have backed a few winners over the years, I think the most I've won was about Β£300, not done it for a few years now though.
Did you actually have money on I am Maximus Mike ??
Brilliant, he did run an incredible race, one of the best Nationals I can remember. Found a Fifty pulled it off for you too, and nearly helped Andy push me out of 2nd place
I used to just bet on the National, only a couple of quid each way ushad a few winners over the years.
