"THE GRAND NATIONAL" Aintree - Anyone taking a punt on the gee gees?

LordSutch

Personally its the one & only horse race I ever bet on (for the fun of it) and I usually part with a tenner, and last year I actually made €2 )

The Grand National, full list of all the horses running plus their odds> > > http://www.grand-national-guide.co.uk/grand-national-runners.php

Too many horses to list here, but are you going to take a punt?

FTA69

It's a roulette. Anyone giving out solid "tips" for the national can be immediately identified as a spoofer. People I know who work in bookies hate this day more than any other because you get a plethora of people in with their €2 each way bets asking a million and one stupid questions at the hatch. Due to the clusterf*ck nature of it, it's only good for a bit of a sweepstake in work.

I'm betting on how many horses are going to die.

Got a tip for V-Neck off a mate yesterday.
The horse is meant to be a great jumper.

I'll be putting a fiver on Ready Meal.

yes, nobody talks about how many of the horses get shot after it - maybe if they saw this they might refrain from the 10 seconds worth of excitement. Its barbaric. :mad:

Normally do a few outsiders to be honest op no more than a 10r

I prefer flat racing, there's too much carnage at the grand national

I never study the form when betting on the Grand National, it's always down to the name that takes my fancy or the colour of the jockey's silks.

Flat racing isn't a patch on national hunt racing, nowhere near the same excitement, variety or challenge.

I will be having a few bets on it as every year, though I bet on racing regularly anyway.

I was wondering how long it would take the high houses to ride into town, pardon the pun.

Da Shins Kelly

Nope. No way to predict who is going to win it. Way too many horses in the field, which is a problem in and of itself with regards to the carnage in the race.

castletownman

Seeing as two horses have died in the last two days at Aintree, I wonder will the animal rights activists clamour for the sport to be banned? Or do they only tune in to kick up a fuss about the Grand National?

As regards betting on the race, have yet to study the form, but will more than likely plump for a couple of big priced horses used to the distance. Crap shoot otherwise.

Sweepstakes at work have landed me with Forpadydeplasterer and Always Waining.

Mint Sauce

Narrowing it down to a few each way bets. After previous results in this, and a 50-1 shot winning the Irish National, anything could happen in this race.

Very badly recycled joke. That joke was doing the rounds for every big race the last few years.

2 horses have died in Aintree already this week. The National has still yet to run.

And they still call it a "sport".

coffee_cake

I think this is the one where most horses die, or loads anyway, so no, I won't be betting

A lot more horses die from injuries out in the field than die while horse racing and where do you think all the horses would end up if the sport was banned? Look at the way horses not involved in the sport are treated, but yet people pick on horse racing where the horses have a better life than a lot of people.

It's the usual sensationalist crap coming out again like every other year.

A lot more people die from injuries out at work than die in the Circus Maximus and where do you think all the gladiators would end up if the Circus was banned? Look at the way people not involved in the sport are treated, but yet people pick on the Circus Maximus where the gladiators have a better life than a lot of people.
