Crowdfunder - Fat Jockey Forum upgrade
Hello Fat Jockeys,
Upgrading the Fat Jockey forum!: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/fatjockeyforum
We're looking to upgrade the 'hosting CPU' so I've set up a crowdfunding project.
I would love it if you could donate using the link below to access my project page. Any contribution large or small will be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

Galvin at 13/8 top 10 looks interesting
The trip is not really a worry given he's a NH Chase winner
27 runs over obstacles, 1x fall and 1x unseat is not bad...
I suppose it's not a market to get too carried away with but it's an interesting price
4/7 for Top 20 feels like backing him just to jump around which is fair?

I don't think he'd be far off 4/7 to finish to be fair, no consideration will be given to the horse or their ability, the price offered will be driven entirely by their odds on the day...

I remember me and my dad both saying that we thought synchronised was a good bet to not get around after he won the gold cup but then stating we'd never back it because of the potential implications. Despite not backing it, we were both devastated when we found out he hadn't made it back just because we'd had the conversation...

….i’m about 3 or 4 miles away and the water table is high, gardens and parks are sodden. Been a bit of rain about today. Aintree is lush racing ground, the footy pitch that once stood in the middle always took a stud, even in the driest spells. Still a few weeks to go, it’ll need a spell of proper Spring weather to change things.

Thanks Eggs. Would really appreciate you updating us over the next 2-3 weeks on the weather. Of course a week/10 days of mostly dry weather could turn it but as with Cheltenham, this high water table just means a little more rain and the ground is terrible.
