Think most of mine came down - had Hello Bud in the sweep at work and Character Building because he had Nina up (very very good jockette).

Great stuff from McCoy - reckon he'll announce his retirement now

Well done AP. Backed mine on Skybet so Hello Bud in 5th covers all my bets.

Absolutely delighted for....

1) Been reported that all horses are safe and sound!

2) For AP, an absolute legend who had a lot of unfair criticism and silly things said about him after his fall on Denman in the Aon. Proved his doubters wrong with a peach of a ride and finally wins at the 15th attempt...

3) Made a personal profit and worked the race out really well despite not finding the winner. All 4 of my picks completed and finished 2nd, 3rd, 9th and 10th, so to get 4 of the top 10 was a pleasing effort!

An achievement indeed to have 4 finishers, never mind 4 in the top 10. However, I'd rather just pick the winner........Oh hang on.......

Indeed

Didn't think that was much of a National to be honest, but then I'm not a huge fan of the race in general (even disregarding the danger etc).
