MADMAC's GET ON......

Well it's the Royal wedding this week and what better way for Liz to pay for it than one of her horses bringing home the bacon today. So with this in mind my bet today is:

15.40 @ Ascot - Free Agent 7/2

and if you want to double it for around an 8/1 return you can include:

16.05 @ Pontefract - Hawaafez 10/11

I'm thinking a 2pt win bet on the Queens horse and a 2pt double.

Mob bosses are running Online Poker........

So, online poker company owners are being indicted like they are mafia bosses and all because the US government aren't taxing their profits. Here's an idea, give them a fair tax deal, legalise online poker and maybe they can base their companies in the US. Maybe some of these failing Euro economies like Ireland/Portugal want to do a tax deal for such companies so the can base there!

In other news, I played last night's Sunday million on stars, which had a much more sensible field of 6000+ runners rather than the usual 15000+ (every cloud and all that....) No result for me though! I also played the 20 euro rebuy £10k gtd 6 seat on Ladbrokes and went out 8th in a pot for the chip lead to a three-outer of course! Four handed with the blinds @ 2k/4k the button raises to 20k and I reraise from the BB with AT off to 68k, he calls and the flop comes A85 with 2 hearts. The pot is big enough for me here so first to act I ship my remaining 126k and he snaps it and shows A6 off. The turn pairs the board with a 5 and of course he hits a 6 on the river.........

If I start winning these 79/21's I might actually start collecting some cash ffs!!!

Aintree......Day 1

OMFG it seems like it was only last week I was getting drunk on the black stuff and cheering Big Bucks over the line at Cheltenham and were off again - V. Excited !!!

I still see no reason to oppose the big lad and it should be 12/12 for Big Bucks, although 4/7 is awfully short so it may be worth looking for a big priced 3rd place after BB and GC, or even a tricast. I'm still hot for Wishfull Thinking (nap) in the 16.50 and this will be my big bet of the day @ 2/1; also Denman will get another 2nd behind Carole's Legacy.

Without further waffle and BS here are my selections for Day 1 Aintree:

14.00 Big Bucks 4/7 (1) (P)

Grand Crus 7/2 (2) (P)

Knockara Beau 40/1 (tricast - all the above)

14.30 Zarkandar 4/5 (1) (P)

Grandouet 7/2 (2) (P)

15.05 Carole's Legacy 6/1 (NB) (1) (P)

Denman 11/8 (2) (Forecast)

15.40 Baby Run 7/2 (1) (P)

Moncadou 9/1 (2) (P)

Kilty Storm 12/1 (3) (P)

16.15 Woolcombe Folly 7/1 (1)

Tchio Polos 6/1 (2) (P)

Oiseau De Nuit 7/1 (3)

16.50 Wishfull Thinking (nap) 2/1 (1)

Mermedit 2/1 (2)

Tharawaat 12/1 (P) (curveball)

(nap) = nap of the day - (NB) = Next Best - (P) = Pisspot perm
