Grand National

[jadeelizabeth]

Has anyone got a cheeky bet on for the Grand National? I usually leave it up to my OH to pick the horses but sometimes pick the ones that I like the names of!

I don't put a bet on as I just don't agree with it. I hate seeing the horses falling and hearing how many have been so badly injured that they have had to be put to sleep

I do like to have a quick flick through the competetors though and see the names, some of them are quite funny.

My dad usually forks out for a bet for all of us, so I've got a bet on TeaforThree and Sunnyhillboy

I used to put bets on and just pick a horse I liked the name of, but I'm like Stevie and don't agree with it, so haven't done for a few years.

Don't agree with it either. Two horses have already died at Aintree since yesterday.

I do think it is a bit sad but it doesn't happen every year. It's the only thing I'll have a flutter on, it's traditional now.

I've just put my bets on-On his own, Ninetieth minute and Seabass

Our horses are chosen! Partly for the pretty colours on their silks, the way I always chose them for my parents when I was little too!

 

[jadeelizabeth]

I've got bets on On Its Own and Balthazar King. Good luck everyone!

I am also Anti even though they have supposedly made jumps safer, there will still be falls and RSPCA "cautious re changes".

However, on a lighter note, if I had to pick one, it would be SEABASS as the only one named after something which is edible ..... no Horsemeat jokes, thank you

I won nothing but mike picked the second and third place horses!

Also wonderful to hear that all horses and jockeys are fine and no injuries the new fences and adjusted course have obv done what they were supposed to do.

 

[dudette2001uk]

Third place for me, and 3 horses in the top 5 for the family, so not bad! Also glad to hear that all horses and jockeys are fine xx

Although not a fan of the race, I do love looking at some of the photos of the outfits from Ladies' day......

No winners for me, although thought Oscar Time was going to win near to the end... could have been a nice £355 win!
