Aykay1 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Re: Double 4 Tomorrow Welcome to the At the Races forum hopey :) If you can, try and post a bit of reasoning with your selections too - it means your posts are likely to get read more that way. Good luck tomorrow :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopey Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 Re: Double 4 Tomorrow Thanks for the welcome, reasoning is i think detroit city is probably the best hurdler i've seen (havn't been in game long though) and blazing bailey ran a good race at cheltenham and i think it will find aintree a bit more suited. Sorry if it is crap reasoning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aykay1 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Re: Double 4 Tomorrow nah, thats fine mate. I saw detriot city at Sandown before he won at Cheltenham and he was really impressive so I would agree with you that he has a massive chance tomorrow.

I'm sure you will see the quality on here within a few days! Detriot City would be the best we have seen no doubt this season. The time it clocked at Cheltenham would take some beating here. Worthy favourite & if there's any 2/1 about would make an interesting bet. Hobbs string in excellent form also, if only he could find a better jockey:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHills Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Re: Double 4 Tomorrow Best of luck but i'm against the favourite here; SportHorse Racing Event3.10 Aintree SelectionAfsoun (Each-Way) Strength3/10 Date06/04/2006 Bookmaker/PriceLadbrokes @ 5.50 (Back) ReasoningAfsoun was rather unlucky at Cheltenham when well fancied, this race is easier and the fast track will suit this type of horse with a high cruising speed. Cant see this being out the frame. Expect this to be about 7/2 by off time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SB, i just dont seem to be able to catch him right. To me he doesnt have the horse in the race where i think it should be & what happens, it doesnt finish first 3. He has his own ideas about how horses can be ridden & i am not sure he gets it right enough. take Paddy Brennan for example who seems to be able to win on horses that Johnson cannot! The other reason is that he used to ride our horse so i have a little first hand experience;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
