    Calgary Bay - back it now.

    Steer clear of Surface to Air. It will be in a kebab by Sunday as I've drawn it in the office sweepstakes.

    Going for "Don't push it" again, won for me last year and now Tony McCoy has won his first National after so long he's almost bound to win another.

    Going to be another Irish winner I think and I'll probably go for The Midnight Club

    Big Fella Thanks for a decent EW bet.

    And Comply Or Die for an outsider

    Won it backing him last year, but I dont like backing the same horse 2 years running.

    He's been thereabouts last couple of years hasnt he? Recognise his name.

    Edit; turns out he won in 08 and runner up in 09. Didnt do well last year.

    And the horses are all in a decent line and ........................... they're OFF!

    And coming up to the first and OMG a massive pile up and Grand Slam Hero, Ballabriggs, Quinz, Silver By Nature & What A Friend have all gone down. The jockeys and horses are all up on their feet and nobody seems to be badly injured though.

    I've got to go through every horse with miniOT so she can choose which horse has the prettiest colours.

    She won last year <grr>


    Looking at THIS I'm sure it will be Character Building as it's pink and purple.
