Best money Ive ever lost.

Most mutual respect and admiration for a winner I have seen. Absolutely Marvelous.

I'm still on a high, despite having watched the club play bloody awful in a subsidary league game. My own selections Black Aplachi (2nd e/w @ 14/1) and Vic Venturi (free bet as a result of the fall) did well. But it was the fact the oldest fella picked the Big Fella and both the wife and young lad picked Mc Coys mount, meant that once the three of them jumped the last I could declare to having backed the winner of the National ... Yahoooooo, elbow and all to come. The bet on the winner was only €5 e/w, but when you get 22/1 and the horse goes off at 10/ jf it is particularly sweet. Loving it

A technical question:

With King John's Castle not crossing the start line, is he regarded as a non-runner?

If not, have any of the larger bookies done the gesture of giving money back on KJC anyway?

If he comes under orders then you have lost your money

I'd be pretty certain VC would give you the stake back in the form of free bet. Given the race and the circumstances I would imagine it is one where Paddy Power is refunding. Your traditional bookmakers like Ladbrokes or small independents will most like stick to the official line and your money is gone!

They'll be dancing in St Ergnat's tonite

Certainly were. In some cases, still are
