    And didn’t Hughes pay 50m quid for a ball-boy called Escaria from Santos’ Kindergarten XI on the say-so of Joorabchian? The circle is complete.

    I backed Escaria Ten each way Beth. Mainly because of the trainer Gordon Elliott.

    I hope you haven't just given it the kiss of death.

    Enjoy the race.

    I am so sorry Fingly. I apologise.

    I was at a gig a few weeks back...met a friend, a Forest supporter and a betting man. He asked me about Luton v QPR. I told him we were pretty bad, bad form, no attack. Can see us getting anything against a high flying luton team that hadn't lost at home since November.

    He put a lot on a home win...and the rest is ( and I am) history

    One horse killed in the early race before the Grand National has even been run. Blood sport.

    An amateur Waley-Cohen on a 50/1 shot called on a horse called Noble Yeats.

    It was the riders last ever race...and as an amateur, he won't get a penny.
    Escaria Ten came 9th..which obviously shows it did better than expected!

    I don’t think he will miss not getting the percentage of the winnings Beth.

    Grand National today.

    If you want my advice then put all your money on ‘Landfill’.

    Yeah, I know… it’s a rubbish tip.

    Two horses killed yesterday. The UK has no right to criticise Spain for bullfighting when we run this steeplechaise event

    Just pick a horse. Forget the form or what the milkman told you because his cousin’s mate’s girlfriend once shagged Rachael Blackmore’s brother.

    But if you do pick a horse at least back it on Betfair where you’ll get far better odds.

    I have to back I Am Maximus because my grandson's name is Max. My strong fancy is Corach Rambler, though. I backed it at Cheltenham and it ran a great race, finishing strongly. Should win.

    I've backed meetingofthewaters. Willie Mullins/J.P. McManus. It is about 10 or 12 to one.
