43 Answers
It's that time of the year again when, in 2 days hence, millions of once-a-year punters will be invading betting shops, up and down the country, holding up the queue at the counter by getting the shop manager to help them write their betting slips out - leaving seasoned punters disgruntled 'cos they can't get to the counter to get their 'dog' bets on. And, of course, once the greyhounds have run their race, those disgruntled punters will screw their slips up in disgust, muttering how they would have been on the winner :-/
The Aintree meeting provides 5 of today's ITV7 races (first leg 2.20) with Taunting making up the numbers.

4.05 Ain; Latenightpass @ 5/1 - 6 places
4.40 Ain; Douglas Talking @ 4/1 - 5 places
5.40 New; Jems Bond @ 4/1 - 4 places
Win singles, 20p L 15 (and 35p e.w. acca - bit of shrapnel in my 365 account), £1 e.w. acca (Sky for the extra places). 4 placed = poss £30, 4 winners = poss £1,653.
Willy Hill offering EVENS on Constitution Hill (but only to a £5 max stake) so i've had a pop.
ITV7; above qualifiers plus; Zenta, Mardoof, Shishkin and Dancingontheedge. Too many 'shorties' for an e.w. bet so just done a £1 acca.
Probably have another look later to see if there's a decent e.w. punt in the Foxhunters, a race which has thrown up a few surprise winners in the last dozen or so years - Silver Adonis @ 50s, Tartan Snow @ 66/1 and Cousin Pascal (runs in today's race) @ 100/1.
Best of luck, all:-)

The National would have been last Saturday had it not been Easter. Easter of course is set by the Lunar cycle and varies. The National has to swerve to miss it occasionally. Didn't bother yesterday Ken was busy. Having a go today though and have done the ITV& split into ****E/W Acca, Trebles & Doubles. ###Win Trixie. BOG with 365. Good luck everyone.

Forgot to add, in the case of the 4.05, both Ashtown Lad and Al Dancer were almost inseparable as regards the stats. Almost chose the CD winner Al Dancer, but the longest any previous winner of this race has been off the track is 90 days - Al Dancer has been absent for 160. But, i have done the rev f/c the pair.
Also, because we have a habit of 1st and 2nd between our selections, Togo - and also because it's a 'mug's forecast' - i've put our 4.40 Selections in a rev f/c :-))

Did a 50p Patent, £1 e.w. treble on Timeless Melody (won @ 6s) and Fulgurix (won @ 4s), waiting for Stay Away Fay in the 4.40 Aintree. Stand to win £155 for the patent (365 offering me £45 to cash-out) and £200 for the e.w. treble (cash-out offer £35). Was expecting more, to be honest given that Stay Away Fay is from a top stable and quite well fancied:-(
Think i'll wait to see if they improve their offers nearer the off-time.
