Thought One For Arthur needed soft ground so ruled him out. Gutted for CoC - got a LOVELY ride. Not too far back and just crept in to it. What a fantastic horse.
Was Roi Des Frances the unluckiest horse yesterday? Ran a great race and got carried out by the loose horse disrupting his rhythm completely.
Even when watching it back I was still convinced my horse Blaklion was going to win when he went clear two out
I don't think many had One For Arthur on this forum, looking at the previous posts, pretty much sums up the last few weeks for myself and I am sure for some others, what with the disappointing Cheltenham Festival as well!
A similar repeat of the Champion Hurdle result for me, laid into JP runner for the National (CoC) @ big odds (40/1) and another 2nd place. Had the Tent (another JP runner) @ 50/1 for the CH, again 2nd! Close, but no cigar! Next time!
I laid out a total of £900 in runners and £300 in non runners / losing doubles.
I backed half the field in the lead up in doubles and I took early prices with a couple of singles the minute the weights were released.
I then covered another 11 horses to cover my stakes the morning of the race (One For Arthur was one of them).
LR, by min return = £1,400. Do you mean no matter which horse won the National you'd have got back £1,400 or the min winnings of the ones you'd backed?
Either way £1,200 in bets seems a ballsy move for such an unpredictable race.

Correct Brital. My min return was £1400 with a £1200 investment over 31/40 runners, that investment also included x3 nr's.
I would have lost if Blaklion won, but I kinda guessed he would get outstayed.
I'm tempted to push the button on Minella Rocco 25/1 for 2018.
Whats the odds on him running?
You'll get 25/1 still in October.
Your national approach sounds similar to my Cheltenham approach
In contract, the national is one race I am prepared to lose on without too much thought about it. I see it as a bit of a novelty like the rest of the nation does that day... Made more on Yanworth the race before than I spent on the race, and I had 12 covered - I thought I have a brilliant voucher on Yanworth at 7/2 from a week earlier, when he was 6/4 the night before... was 7/2 about 30 mins before the race haha
