    I know there is a horse racing forum which Ron has kindly pointed me towards in the past, but I thought I would see who my fellow Blues are backing tomorrow.

    I've gone for Ballabriggs to repeat last years win and Shakalakaboomboom each way.

    Here's a link to our Grand National Index.

    I'm no expert but I like:
    Sunnyhill Boy 16/1
    Vic Venturi 66/1
    Neptune Collonges. 40/1

    It gets more difficult every year with better horses running and jumps being made easier. Just hope there are no nasty accidents and all horses go back to their stables in good health afterwards.

    Good luck anyone having a bet. I don't bet but I might have a little dabble as I am pretty close to the betting shop in the Hazlemere Parade.

    Good luck Rocky. I doubt I'll get to the bookies for a bet but I'll be watching on TV. Also running 2 competitions over the 3 days at Aintree.

    I think they have all lost interest Tewkes, after last week's fiasco.

    It's happening for us and it's happening for you!

    Remember what I said about Orient being in freefall?

    Champagne just opened Rocky <bubbly> - been sitting in my fridge for a month - desperately unlucky for you today.

    Keep the faith. <ok>

    Good work Ron. It was a great end to the race. I had In Compliance each way at 150/1 which finished 5th, so not a bad result for me either.

    You were lucky then. Other people I know said:


    I don't which way to turn at present so I backed Organised Confusion
    I'm never wrong so I backed Always Right
    I'm going through a sticky patch so I backed Treacle
    I walked straight into a glass door yesterday so I backed Becauseicouldntsee
    My friend's wife left him him so he backed On His Own
    I work in the Post Office.....
    My wife is Scandinavian...


    Thank goodness you work in Compliance.
