The Grand National

[vicksy]

I won £4 in the sweep stake at work!! lmao!!

[Dealer]

I had Shotgun Willy... £1 e/w @ 150/1

It was leading at the start I hear, but I didn't get to see the race cuz I was playing football.

[Statlanta]

i backed Jack high £5 each way! it fell lol, i was convinced clan royal was going to win though.

[IllRhymaTC]

Winner!!! And ballycassidy nearly won. I wouldhave won a lot if it won!!! Ahh but i only won a small amount on NumberSixValverde.

[ill_rhymer]

How did everyone else do?

ive backed garvivinnion, cornish rebel, nubersixvalverde and nil desperandum all each way..

winner and 4th place,,

not too bad

[Illusory]

the going is supposed to be prefferable for Hedgehunter. I might place an each way bet.

For fucks sake.

I went against my instincts and instead placed an Each Way bet on "Just In Debt", only because I had just fallen (predictably) in debt.

I only put £1 EW though..so I would of only got my £2 back plus a 1/4 of the odds, which were 4-1 at the time..so I would of only gained £1.

I went for Just In Debt because I could of gained a maximum of £82 for my £1 EW bet.

Ah well. Next year. How did everyone else do?

Dont think hedgehunters got much of a chance due to the weight hes carrying.

I agree, although the going is supposed to be prefferable for Hedgehunter. I might place an each way bet.

Clan Royal always seems to be in there somewhere. I havent had chance to check the listings really, so I'll probably put something on before I go off to the footy tomorrow morning.

(just merged this with Illusory's thread cos I missed it originally)

John, I got £10 each on "Hedgehunter", "Royal Clan" and "Joes Edge" (15-1).

Good luck, man. I won £55 last yr, woot!

[JohnB]

Yeah I have a few bet's on for tomorrow. I have 20 euro on "Hedgehunter" @ 6-1 each way, I have 15 euro to win on "Clan Royal" @ 5-1 and my outside bet is "Therealbandit" each way @ 40-1 (10 euro). Should be a fun day, A few pint's down at the pub watching the racing, winning a bit of money (HOPEFULLY!!).

[Ian]

Lol.. ok, maybe its just me.

Split £30 between three horses, so I'll see how I do
