Seeyouatmidnight bidding to become the next Party Politics.... story here
Yes, I saw that earlier.
How many horses have they bought just before the race in recent seasons, or even since Party Politics?
You also have to wonder how many horses do they make enquiries about before they settle on a purchase.
Trevor Hemmings does the same although I think he tends to buy them some way ahead of the race.
I remember Arthur Budge making what, according to my figures, must have been the stupidest ever purchase when he paid £100,000 for Joint Sovereignty, a 2.5-miler just because it had won the Mackeson or Massey-Ferguson. Whoever sold him that pup should have had months' worth of sleepless nights due to a heavy conscience.

JP McManus' racing manager Frank Berry on Grand National riding plans: Barry Geraghty on Anibale Fly, Noel Fehily on Minella Rocco, Mark Walsh on Carlingford Lough and Richie McLernon on Regal Encore. Pendra is likely to run but no jockey yet.
Richie owes me a nut or two from his ride on Sunnyhill Boy in this a few years back.. hopefully he can bring home the bacon this time.

Aye, that one still hurts, Danny.
Wasn't my biggest bet in the race but was one of my 'A-Team' of three (the others were Chicago Grey and Giles Cross).

Mossey Joe (I think)
More likely to do with the latest scratchings rather than a gamble.
Still very much on my radar and likely to be longer on Saturday morning with more in the way of place offerings.

RP reporting a plunge on Baie Des Iles, 50/1 yesterday, now no bigger than 20/1.
Got no chance has it ?
It looks like you're right, chaps“Baie Des Iles could end up being our worst result,” Rupert Adams, a spokesman for William Hill, said on Tuesday. “She will love the ground, is a grey and most importantly has Katie Walsh on board. It is a possible perfect storm.”
