Was going to stick a tenner on Tiger Roll until someone at work convinced me not to back him because apparently the jockey is known for punching his horse in the back of the head. So I didn’t.

Had Blaklion, I Just Know and Virgilio instead, and all three had fallen by the 5th fence. Crap day.

Backed see you at midnight just because it was a local fella riding it, fecking raging because I’d always stick a few quid on Russell/Elliot. Ah well.

Won a whole £11

Never won anything on a bet so it's a momentous occasion.

Had 20 each way on Bless these Wings. Got a friend's funeral next weekend so it was fitting. As though they were saying have a drink on me.
