    Not sure if there's much interest in this, but as all profits go to the NHS I'm hoping there'll be quite a few punts on it.

    So what are we all going for?
    I'm taking Kildisart ew as the winner, and as there are 5 places being paid I'll go for
    Definetly Red
    Beware the Bear
    Anibelle fly
    Acapella bourgious
    To fill the places

    Well I rather enjoyed that. Didn’t win anything but was good to put a wee bet on again.

    I watched the legends race and thought it was a joke. I won with Mr Frisk and I backed it because it was a great jumper and an front runner so not likely to get brought down by a poor jumper falling in front of it.

    In the actual race it was pretty much first all the way and came over the last fence with a big lead. Durham Edition nearly caught him, but he held on.
    Yet the virtual race had him off the pace and making jumping errors.

    Yes first race was the legends
    Sorry perhaps I should have been clearer. When I said I won with Mr Frisk I meant in the actual race he won in around 1990, and I was comparing his run in the real race with how he ran in the legends virtual race

    None we're put down. There were a few fallers, but they're all in a stable condition.
