Grand National

I wouldn't bet on either of them then... they'll move slower than glue.

What happens if you bet on a horse and it dies before the race begins?

 

What's going on with Carroll?

 

Outside chance at best, I wouldn't put any money on him

 

Looked good on the jumps...

Invisible barriers would really spice it up this year

Was this picture before or after he was shot?

 

During, clipped his leg.

 

Looks like there should be a barstool in this picture....oh wait....there is.


Back on topic......I can't help notice how much fuss the bbc is making about horses dying this year. Funny how they never used to make such a meal of it (no pun intended) when they had the rights to show the race eh

 

They've announced the condition of the horse that fell badly yesterday as....medium rare.

 

This is literally the worst race to actually bet on, though of course I will be having a go.

If a horse does die today which of course atleast one will I think they will end changing the fences for next year.

 

Joncol - 66/1 as an outside bet.

Colbert Station & Rare Bob my others.

 

I've got the following:

-

Colbert Station (£1 at 14/1)

Chicago Grey (£1 at 12/1)

Treacle (£2 E/W at 33/1)

-

I've no idea if those are any good but i've got a good feeling about Colbert Station!

 

Cappa Bleu - £5 each way.

I've probably just wasted a tenner, but I'm going out tonight and the standard of restaurant could be determined by how fast that horse can go.

 

I'm glad I did an each way - £20 return. Not bad. She can have chips with 'er kebab now

 

Got the 2nd place horse for the 2nd year in a row, gutted.

 

Mine did nothing, best was Rare Bob in 5th, but nothing for it. Other 2 didn't finish.

 

Same! Spent a tenner, got £4 back

 

To stick on a Suarez hat-trick or not...

 

I should do that each way thing.

 

My mrs picked the winner but I pointed out the odds so she changed her mind

It was at 120-1 at that point too
