O/T Grand National - Saturday 5th April 2025

[Ericsladkilnhurst]

Without the jockey, Harry Cobden, Captain Cody would not have won the Scottish Grand National. I claim the trophy for naming the winning jockey. Jockeys are awarded a trophy for steering their charges to victory.

Sorry mate no trophy for you, myself & Cayton win it.
Because the horse Captain Cody, the horses front legs passed the winning post, before Cobden's legs.

The horse Harry Cobden jumps on.
The Kniphand could run a big race too.
But what do I know?
Horses sometimes have a mind of their own. 🤔

The last time I looked Cobden didn't have the forelegs to be able to compete with his mount. Truth is maybe some people are more desperate for recognition than others. Lol
It's ironic that most horses, whether they are first or last past the post in a race always cross the winning line before their rider.
Sometimes horses dump their rider before the winning line. Lol.
But you knew that. Lol

Recognition for a good jockey is fine, but it's what horse power he has under him.
Jump racing a dangerous sport for man & beast, has we found out not long ago.

On that last point, sad but true, Eric.

Water, that's dearer than real ale now

It can be mate but obviously I don't just drink the ordinary water. I like the one that is fermented for a while with added flavour from hops and a touch of sugar. Council wine at it's best

Don't know if Townend he's injured or banned but yesterday Mullins runner in the 2-40 at Cheltenham think would have had more chance with Cobden in the saddle.

Won I worked it out 297 pounds on the lotto tonight. Had to be won wasn't so more on the lower prizes + fivers for 2 numbers. My system not bothered what anyone says on here gives you a better chance of winning. Law of averages changing numbers drawn out recently that they won't be drawn out the next draw. I'll claim the lotto trophy for now on here till someone up with something better! Back on Wednesday got to change 3 numbers already worked out with what.

Dunboyne worth an e/w punt at long odds in the Irish Grand National today.
Might even be won by a horse's foreleg?
Go on, my son!!!
