Todays Dutch bets

The ways racing finds to beat you are sometimes inexplicable and very frustrating!
In the Newc 13;40 maiden I dutched - the fav. stumbled and unshipped her jockey soon after start on perfectly good going. Then over on second fav. who could have been driven out to win Hannigan drops his whip after first tapping her, so then she thinks its all over, hands and heels in second!

The Grand National bet was more exiting than I wanted, the third home Monbeg Dude wasn't even included in my 20 runner dutch frame! Fortunately he never got to the front two.
Also a mention to Ian Welch at Informracing.com who had winner Many Clouds clear top rated on his excellent Speed Ratings.  Ian even gives one daily meeting out free of charge, good guy.

Betfair down again lock stock and barrel -with no advice how long.

What a shambolic outfit they are, you wouldn't think they are a massive PLC with their level of reliability. 

We’re really sorry, but we’re still having problems with our site. We’re on red alert and working as quick as we can. Apologies again.

Tells you nothing unless you know what red alert means? Are they under attack?
