i got 3 top 1-4th places last year wins and hardly ever win stuff. I picked all between 12-1 and 16-1 i think one may been 8-1. I only bet 2-6 quid a horse but was over £100 up from 20 quid of bets. I going be random again and hope some decent odds ones do well again.

Yes 15 finished, the rest fell or threw the jockeys off (which is always amusing). Two were put down and one is ok but will no longer race
