breeze 1,344 Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Great performance by Tiger Roll, but I'm the same as Max couldn't back him at the price with 40 runners even tho he won that cross country race at the Cheltenham festival that easy looked like he could go around again. One question for any horsey folk on here tho.... After the finishing line today there was several folk pouring buckets of water over Tiger to obviously cool him down after his excretions... I get that, but why doesn't the jockey get off him earlier to relieve him of 11 stone rather than waiting until he gets into the winners enclosure??? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stoney100 1,179 Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) I'd say was that price because he was pretty much guaranteed to win it really and if the bookies could of have put him at evens they would of but it's the national so they have to take a higher risk on it so that people will put a bet on it, for a horse of his quality and being a previous winner to be anything above evens is good value, as proved in the end. On the water, the 2015 grand national winner "many clouds" died after a race at cheltenham and alot of people believe it was because he was overheating after hard runs so now they throw water on them to help them cool down quicker, and while i agree the jockey should get off, it is more of a precaution than anything so if the horse is all right they can stay on it and milk the crowd from up high lol Edited April 6, 2019 by Stoney100 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,728 Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) Is it my imagination or are the fences smaller these days ?....and if they are why,animal rights mobs i suppose.....i just dont remember so many horses still in the race in the later stages. Ive not had a winner in 30 odd years.......my little 4 year old grandson pipes up with " i want the Tiger one "....gets a win with his first ever bet !!
