Caldwell potter is a non runner so can I change it to Brighterdaysahead please Β£1,200

Cheers
That was a an easy change πŸ˜‚
Yes, that non runner did you a favour mate :lol: :lol:
I got a winner in the first, I thought my grey in the second was going to give me two in a row but he sadly ran out of steam. Brighterdaysahead was just far too strong for the rest of the field, would have been nice to have had a couple of quid ew on the 2nd and 3rd placed horses though :)

That’s going to be a good horse in the future, I should have guessed in the first as I’ve always been told if a trainer has 2 in the race back the outsider of the two lol

Since it's a bit of fun I will do it, but Caldwell Potter was declared a non runner the day before, so it's a bit cheeky :D

Well done Mike on a good win. I was rubbish as usual but had a couple of outsiders come in 2nd & 3rd on the final day.
Well done all in the competition and a big thank you to Murray for running it. Good fun as always. :) :)

Well done MIL, some brave betting paid off. My last shot did manage 2nd in the last race but just fell short.
A great days racing and a good bit of fun again, well done to all those who took part and thanks Muzza for running it for us.

Thanks all; and thanks to Murray for helping to run and crunch the numbers etc

It was good fun

I still look at a couple of my runners and think they're going to win

I still think "Bob Olinger" wins :)

On the plus side I now gamble once a year, and only on the National

I was all in on Maximus so booked a 3 night trip to York last night on him

Brilliant, he did run a fantastic race, one of the best Nationals I can remember.
I did used to like a dabble on the National, I'd usually have a Win bet on something around 12-1 & a couple of quid each way on an outsider, I have backed a few winners over the years, I think the most I've won was about Β£300, not done it for a few years now though.
Did you actually have money on I am Maximus Mike ??

Brilliant, he did run an incredible race, one of the best Nationals I can remember. Found a Fifty pulled it off for you too, and nearly helped Andy push me out of 2nd placeπŸ‘
I used to just bet on the National, only a couple of quid each way ushad a few winners over the years.
