    Minellacelebration was an absolute gutter there. 

    Such a soft fall in a great position.

    10 of the first 11 were Irish trained. If only they were better handicapped eh Michael O'Leary?

    Literally completely down to Peanuts (Feb 23rd) to get my lot on at 40s. What's your charity of choice bud?

    Minella Times - brilliant jockey, brilliant trainer, brilliant horse
    A winner for the model again, thank Gawd but none of the other 6 making the frame is a disappointment (apologies to all if you followed mine but without Minella). Have to see what happened to them all but soft unseats early for Magic and Minellacelebration (who was going nicely in about 5th or 6th at the time). Cloth Cap PU-ing when having seemly a dream run and Disco seemingly not getting home (maybe a recurrence of his wind issue?) surprising.
    Some amazing runs by Balko Des Flos (2nd - big stat outlier to get so close), Farclas (5th - great pick by @PolzeathNick before anyone was on to him), Blaklion (phenomenal training performance by Dan Skelton) 
    First 5 Irish-trained.
    Wow

    Forget about Rachel Blackmore being a female - she is simply the best NH jockey, period.

    Great race and once again a great thread. Peanuts, you are amazing my friend - doffs cap.

    I’ve gone with Magic of Light, Discorama and Minellacelebration so load up on the others if the last few years is anything to go by! 

    Good luck everyone. The wife chose Definitely Red for Charlton. 
    If anyone knows a worse better than me then I’d like to buy them a beer to commiserate. 

    Just checked my transaction history. My last winning bet was 38 bets ago and that was my only win in my last 60 bets. 

    Been a great thread though, love it every year.

    Backed Minella Times so thanks @PeanutsMolloy

    There was a 66/1 shot with a jockey called B Hayes so I had to put a few quid on them.

    Cheers as always to the excellent analysis on here @PeanutsMolloy , @PolzeathNick and other contributors. Had both Minella Times and Farclas so a healthy return this afternoon. 

    That plus a South London treble, if Carlsberg made Saturdays...

    I got the winner thank you Peanuts. Nice one. 

    I can’t even remember what odds and I can’t get on Skybet to see. 

    Well done Rachael Blackmore. A Tipperary woman. A fantastic jockey.

    Looks like The Storyteller could be coming out... Lay price on Betfair has hit 60
    The Storyteller is indeed out. More inside info layers. Blaklion in.
    Excellent news. I used to play for a team called Black Lion so that's my bet done. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing 
    6th place so a few quid back on this plus I also had MinellaTimes. This football team was rubbish so one of the few times I have celebrated a win for Blaklion!

    The Irish had 18 horses of the 40 in the race but had 12 of the 15 to finish meaning that the British only had 3 of their 22 finish the course let alone challenge for victory!

    One of the trainers of those 3 horses is, I believe, a permit holder who has never had a winner under Rules!
