Aintree 2025 Day 1

[Faugheen_Machine]

….backing Peter Bowen’s (and Micky Bowen) horses blind at Aintree has proved me well over many years but Queen Kate’s debut Bumper win at Doncaster last month is worth a watch. In behind a wall of horses with nowhere to go entering the final furlong, she was switched wide and still won with a bit in hand.

Firms tend not to take chances with Bowen at Aintree but I’ll be waiting patiently for Queen Kate to be priced up now she’s confirmed.

Guessing you also backed his Topham winner Always Waining at 66/1

33/1 first show for Queen Kate

….certainly did, pleasantly surprised at 33-1 although nothing to compare it with yet

Blue Betty another to watch in that bumper (that’s the Exacta sorted).

Paddy priced at 50-1

Paddy priced at 50-1

….my word, taken that and popped in a double with Annamix (25s) in Foxhunters.

No Lulamba yet and Nicky's other horses declared.

Ladbrokes left the market up for Saturday hope others took advantage.

After seeing the RP article that they were keeping options open was worth watching decs. He’s odds on now in couple places.

Murcia 12s with Paul up a touch overpriced compared to Puturhandstogether - 13lb swing for the Fred winter run

Track and ground should suit Murcia well

Was a toss up between her and Nimble as cover for my Conti bet.

7/1 on gaelic warrior with hills will do me

Him and impaire et passe will be my two plays on day 1

Cracking day's racing isn't it.

Not sure I could pick a single winner tho

Yeah Impaire et Passe likely to be one of my big plays this week.
Mr Hope Street also on that list….

Aye Skelton has laid him out for this race, won it last couple years I think, certainly did with the mare last year.

I’ve taken the 6/1.

It may be different with big races/festivals but I'm programme into not betting until the day outside of Cheltenham, I've lost plenty of accounts in years past by taking a price the night before that was wrong...

Can’t argue with that, don’t take many antepost positions outside of the festivals too.

Not sure if Mr Hope Streets price is wrong, if that’s what you’re meaning Ista, It’ll depend on decs and how Skeltons week has gone as to how short he may go.

Well feck

I just assumed Paul was on

That's in the bin then

I cannot see Impaire Et Passe beaten if he hes 100% sound, that flogas run just wasnt the true him
