The joy of a sweepstake. I guess either Norway or Oslo should have got this donkey, and maybe Any Currency would have been more apt for you with all your travelling.

As it stands I've got 23 horses running, one of them must have a chance

I got really lucky with my #22 (Heidar Helguson) selection:-

15) P1/B1F-1 ON HIS OWN (IRE) 9-11-00 Willie Mullins IRE/Ruby Walsh 7-1

Certainly better odds than #22 on the official racecard:-

22) 423F-01 TREACLE (IRE) 12-10-09 Tom Taaffe IRE/Andrew Lynch 33-1

I should back them both each way for the race.

Eddie - if you are out there, what do you fancy as I respect your opinions on these matters?
 
Hi Kilburn I got Treacle...very suitable for a girlie .

Don't you remember how Den Watts used to call his daughter Sharon "Treacle"...apparently cockney rhyming slang for treacle tart = sweetheart

Welcome to the Not606 QPR Grand National Sweepstake.

I've allocated a number at random between 1 and 40 to each of the declared runners for this years National. The first person to pick each number gets allocated that horse, the winner gets a pint with Finglas in the Crown and Sceptre before the Wigan match (if they can't make it, Finglas will drink it on their behalf). I'll try to keep this updated but you may have to bear with me......

Do not name the horse you want, just pick a number between 1 and 40 that no one else has already picked. I'll have the remaining horse after 39 have been picked.
