    Nobody has responded to my call for personal observations on the festival
    Obviously you're all too busy picking winners?
    But there are some insights alongside the pain and it may be worth recording them.
    Take a look at today's racing Post a little feature on page 6 called "Recurring Theme"which could be the basis of somebody is 4th June next year!
    In short the observation is that the ultima the Coral cup and Martin pipe were all won by horses who were beaten in the same race a year earlier racing on or near the same Mark having finished 3rd or 4th previous year.
    David Jennings further observesthat of the 7 handicaps not confined to novices 5 were won by horses beaten in handicaps the previous year
    He finishes the piece with a sporting proposal for the grand annual in 2020!
    So hopefully akd will play again next year with this additional ammo.
    Now forward to the small problem of aintree

    Many thanks for a really interesting approach and detailed hard work
    I noticed that speed six 'last time out' figures threw up some interesting possibilities
    Also timeform 123 work very well for the first 3 days and produced about 4 or 5 tricasts in that order
    Food for thought!
    Perhaps now is a good time for colleagues on the board to record their impressions while they are fresh. I'm always trying to recollect some of the more painful learnings one year later!
    I am still trying to figure out why Thursdays racing was not the most profitable in my extended history of wagering horses. 4 real fancies at generous odds but I for one failed to combine them.

    Supebly well done Micky

    I was a tad disappointed with the tricast dividend
    77 k plus whereas I thought in my wisdom that the dividend would be approaching 120K
    Oh well life is tough!
    Good luck Noel. I owe you more than a few.
    Hope to see you in the business training or some other role.
    And Ruby you were a bit of a rascal to completely ignore Teds horse in your Paddy power commentary!! What was Doc O'Connor doing choosing it?
    Forgiven.
    Magnificent days racing
