not606 QPR - Grand National Sweepstake

I've gone for Rocky Creek and, as a former union man, Unioniste...

 

Fandango, unfortunately your horse Carlito Brigante is a non runner. Sorry.

 

Kilburn, you're winning at the moment.

 

Kiwi- you won.

Well done.

Air NZ - Wellington to LHR???

 

Just my luck: I had each way bets on Fell At The First, Shot In The Paddock and Soon To Be Glue...

 

Yes, it was nice that my horse at least held the lead for a brief moment - good Irish stock, perhaps lacking the staying power!

I wasn't able to watch the race live as it was not televised over here.

16:20 Rebel Rebellion is now in front, just ahead of Rocky Creek and Shutthefrontdoor.

Congrats to Kiwi!

 

The one I backed Alco also fell at the first.

 

Full Result

1. Many Clouds 25/1 - Kiwi
2. Saint Are 25/1 - Hoops Eternal
3. Monbeg Dude - 40/1 - Sooperhoop
4. Alverado 20/1 - Ciarrai
5. Shutthefrontdoor 8/1 - Beth

 

Over to you Kiwi, you decide who you want the tickets to go to. There were a number of fallers at the first so not sure which you could call as first to go.

 

Thanks for coordinating this Finglas and also to the people who donated prizes.

The Aintree Grand National & Epsom Derby were family traditions as a kid with Dad making small wagers on our behalf. I recall when for a £1 wager my horse Morton won @ 25/1.

 

I am the same Kilburn. It is a family tradition to watch the race and we used to enjoy taking a couple of quid off my Dad if one of us were lucky enough to select the winner so I enjoyed organising it.

 

Story of my life, close but no cigar!

 

Thanks for sorting this thread Finglas, much appreciated.

 

Never had much luck with the National, but in 1981 I backed each way Aldaniti, Spartan Missile and Royal Mail, they finished 1, 2 and 3 but would have paid over 1,200-1 on the tri-cast...

 

Thanks Finglas...and thanks IWAWR for the prizes.
I had at least a good run this year...interested until the end... cheers...well done Kiwi..

 

Perhaps Kiwi was really looking forward to wearing those shorts? Come on Rhino, air your dirty laundry?

Hopefully not like this - club sure mugged by him, or perhaps we were the mugs?

Harry Redknapp said two men fell on their knees and began pulling at his trouser legs

He said two men fell to their knees in front of him and tugged at his trouser legs to distract him while four others took money and items from his pockets.
