Finglas' Grand National Sweepstake

3 Please

 

5 pls.

 

Across The Bay please

 

You need to pick a number mate

 

37 Please

 

Everything to this point is now updated, plenty more horses available. From my very limited knowledge of these things, I think there are still some decent ones left.

 

Delighted with my selection.

 

Viking Blond. Fell at first fence last year, ranked 40th out of 40 this year, 100-1. Cheers Roller.

 

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'll have #40 if its still there?

 

sorry roller just read that's your pick!

I'll have #39 instead then. thank-you.

 

You can have 40 mate, I meant that I'd have the remaining horse after the first 39 have been picked.

Do you still want 40?

 

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

 

can I play guise ? If i'm allowed pick i'll have number 23

 

roller, I'll go with #39 thanks

 

No8 if still free please. If not then No 20

 

If one of ours hasn't claimed it by the time I log on tonight it's yours.

You may struggle to collect the prize though; can you get to Shepherds Bush for Sunday afternoon?

 

can you give me one of the remaining horses please
if it wins get finglas a pint and tell him its from kiwi
