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.

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.

Bless her.

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

lol...it's fun winding me up. Just like the special censored word, Giggly had to find. I cringe at that now! Aah, I have been at work, my brains relaxing now.

lol ok here goes: before I do though, Stevo are you still using google search to find retards that have the same name as you for you to use for your Avatars?

So whats this I hear about Hoar boy reckoning he had somthing to do with legendary post wars? Has this boy lost his freakin mind? Add to that he claims to have been given a b/j from his collages local tramp, whats up with that?

Onto the topic, no, no I havnt bet on the Grand National.

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
