The Grand National

[Greenlantern101]

Anyone having a flutter?

I've got £30 spread over various nags.
Plus horses in the office sweep. Fingers crossed.

 

[Titch]

No.

 

[Greenlantern101]

No winner again. Lol.

 

[cider_and_toast]

First time I've missed it for while.

Four horses nothing! Was looking good for a bit with Rogue Angel and Pleasant Company. Oh well. Stupid beasts.

I dont think i couldve had a worse grand national. My big hope went at the 1st, McCoy tip went at the last & my other came Dead last

 

[Greenlantern101]

I've just spunked £20 on Lake View Lad and Pleasant Company. (5 EW on both)

Anyone else fancying a wager for Saturday?

 

[cider_and_toast]

I haven't done it for a couple of years now. I may have a go this year but my knowledge of racing is limited to betting on the names I like or the colour of the silks. I don't tend to look at the odds. Just go with whatever the mood takes.

 

[Greenlantern101]

That's how everyone bets on the national

 

[F1Brits_90]

dont take notice of me mainly because I have terrible luck with betting, but Im going for lake view lad from research ive been doing it looks good & fits all the "trends" of a grand national winner. but normally my lucky dip horse is the 1 finishes well & researched horse come 8th or fallen

these are the bits I used to get a checklist not that its ever helped ive had a many 2nd & 3rd but if you discount dont push it because I backed McCoy every yr. ive never chosen the winner yet In 16 yrs

That's how everyone bets on the national

That's how it's done in this house. My daughter usually likes to pick a horse where the jockey is wearing colours she likes together, it's worked well for her several times.

I’m in a sweepstake at the hospital, two horses that I’ve never heard of.

I've eaten horse in Switzerland, it didn't really impress me, like an odd beef flavour.

anyone have a go on virtual Grand national. earlier where all losing bets & profits when to the NHS charities. i wouldnt normally but as it a bit for fun & great cause.

as a family we still kept up the tradition. i got 3rd & 5th. my sister "won" the virtual grand national with potters corner. because she liked harry potter. & won £19 which she donated as well. so all in all we have a fun day & NHS got £24.

 

[F1Brits_90]

what a story, that only sport can bring. 1 last race before retirement, then goes wins the biggest horse race as his farewell. wow

my mum won £120 & i got £8 for Santini. but ill take it as many years. i dont finish

 

[FB]

ill take it as many years. i dont finish

Do you take a ladder to get over the fences, or just have a long run up before jumping?
