Just setting this live now in anticipation of tomorrow. I can't wait.

My predictions for tomorrow are:

Supreme L'Ami Serge
Arkle Vautour
Champ hurdle the new one
Mares hurdle Annie power
 
Arkle - Vibralto Valtat

Champion Hurdle - Hurricane Fly

(partly just wanting him to win, partly because he's tough as titanium)
 
Vautour is a strange choice for the Arkle chase as he's not running in it ! It has to be a one horse race, in fact it's possible to make a case for Mullins to win all the big races tomorrow. Everybody has a chance in the handicaps but it's very hard to pick any horse to beat his big hopes tomorrow.
 
Oh is he not running. He was declared. Um ok. Will think again.
Yes I can see all of the Mullins horses winning the big races today but there's no fun in backing a favourite.
 
I am completely over excited about today! I've got a few little bets on here and there, but my main ones today:

Novices Hurdles - Jollyallen
Arkle - Josses Hill
Handicap Chase - Theatre Guide (love this horse!)
Champion Hurdle - I have money on both The New One and Hurricane Fly, but in my heart I really want the Fly to win
Mare's Hurdle - Carole's Spirit (good e/w bet I thought)


Just hope all horses and jockeys come home safely.
 
I have done an each way accumulator by myself:

Supreme Novices: Jollyallan
Arkle: Vibrato Valtat
Handicap Chase: Pendra
Champion Hurdle: The New One

BUT, me and my bro went halves on some fun E/W bets as he didn't want to do my accumulator:

Supreme Novices: LAmi Serge
Handicap Chase: Monbeg Dude
Champion Hurdle: Jezki
Novices Handicap: Thomas Crapper
Arkle Chase: Three Kingdoms

Reckon Annie Power will come home in front too!
 
Well Im plonked on the sofa, paper and laptop to hand and I can feel the butterflies in my tum starting, really, really love this week :) Havent got any favourite bets but would love to see the Fly win today. Almost off......
 
Rich Ricci has some serious fire power - just ridiculous! Douvan, Faugheen, Annie Power, Vautour, Champagne Fever. Lucky guy - has some bloodstock agent! Douvan another that looks a real potential star
 
Un de sceaux is pure class! Look at that grin on rubys face. I am not so lucky on the betting front, both races just out of the frame! Damn.
 
Am I being churlish to be slightly uneasy about the potential for Mullins/Walsh to wipe the board? Did C4 show the RoR parade - friend's horse was in it and I missed the beginning of the programme?

As much as I was in awe of UDS I was willing God's Own just to break the monotony of the Mullins/Walsh bandwagon!

My sister used to work for Tom so follow the yard. This could be the start of world domination for Mullins/Walsh ..... which would be a bit dull. Come on TNO in the Champion .... much as I admire Faugheen the machine!
 
It swings in roundabouts - a few years ago we were bored of seeing Nichols win everything! The only thing that hasn't changed is Walsh as the jockey. As much as I don't like the man he is shrewd. He must have known Nichols lacked future fire power and saw what Mullins had in his boxes.

Another year we will see Pipe/Henderson/O'Neil back on top. I would love to say McCain in that bunch but he is just quantity over quality at the moment.
 
Oh I feel sick to my stomach waiting for The Champion Hurdle. I hope The New One and The Fly come home in front!!
 
I'm on Artic fire each way lol! He always runs consistently well just behind the best of the best!

Faugheen is one hell of a horse! Though I do think I Artic Fire had been a touch closer the whole way he may have given him more of a run for his money!

Mullins really is on fire at the moment. Gutted as once again mine were just out of the frame. Oh well! Well done to them, great first day for them!
