Re: Grand National.

Im with Meg on this one, a fool and his money are soon parted. Unless you would like to make a donation to the save the Grouse fund, a worthy way to get rid of your surplus cash.

Re: Grand National.

I have watched the Grand National for years but after last year I cant watch it anymore neither will I put any money on it.
As you know the National can be quite a OPEN race as the favourite
can be brought down by loose horses or others. Just put a numbered
horse or the name if you want to make a bet. I never look at form as
it depends on how they are on that day. I feel horses have a good or
bad day and the two last year who were killed had a really bad day.

It will 'never' be banned - but simple changes could be enforced such as fewer fences and fewer horses... Will they do the changes - No - unless, people took a stand for changes, and that 'wont' happen either.....

Re: Grand National.

The odds on my picking the winner is 1 in 40. The odds on winning the lottery are 1 in 14 million...........I rest my case ! PS...... and it makes watching the race more interesting.
