You are right Morals...

I never got any one to place bets on my behalf..but I was rooting for Royal Predica, who in the end came second last. (12 out of 13) Hmph.

Forgive me for being stupid (as usual), but what exactly is so special about the Grand National? Are there any limitations to the horses that can enter, or do you have to somehow qualify?

It's supposed to be the top horses, but I'm sure some of the runners are nothing more than glue. It's special because they have a hundred horses at the start, but normally only 10-20 finish. The rest are shot.

there are 40 horses. they arent shot unless absolutely neccesary an its special because working class people actually bother to watch it. quite close though.

They are only shot if they go and break their leg or any other part which would deem them useless as a race horse. So starts the story of how someone told me they would be dog meat after that.

I never knew there were 100 originally...the Sun listed 40 on the day, and 13 finished. Only horse race I watched this year, but just because it's mildly entertaining with 30 jumps then a few jockeys fall off and get trampled on. Looks very sore tho.

Giggly - I was joking - it was a slight exageration on my part.

Bollox. I taped the race and I was going to watch it when I got home. Thanks for spoiling it guys.

bunny boiler fell at the first

Good job I didn't bother betting on it then!

What were the odds for Monty's Pass?



plus Goguenard was shot afterwards, all in all a great day for me

Goguenard - shot
Bunny Boiler - Only faller at the 1st fence
Gunner Welburn - Came 4th but I had him on to win
