Title: Re: ***** Official Grand National Thread ***** Post by: Ironside on April 10, 2010, 12:01:03 AM not sure what to do
i never normally enter sweeps but i got caught in one seemingly the prices of my horses is 66-1 and 100-1 but i am getting 25-1 if it wins should i put a couple of quid on the horses cause i will be pissed if they win or try and get the camel to give me the winner so i can recover my loses Title: Re: ***** Official Grand National Thread ***** Post by: bobby1 on April 10, 2010, 12:32:33 AM Im on backstage.
Title: Re: ***** Official Grand National Thread ***** Post by: mickyp on April 10, 2010, 08:05:20 AM Niche Market, Irish national winners usually go well in this race
Tricky Trickster, If he hadn't ran a stinker at cheltenham he would be fav here so good value bet at the price. Flintoff. Will stay the trip,light weight Title: Re: ***** Official Grand National Thread ***** Post by: Linux on April 10, 2010, 08:31:48 AM Cloudy Lane

If I dont get anything, it's bad times :D
Ideally I'd like Dream Alliance to win. Failing that, Tricky Trickster, Vic Venturi and Ballyholland (courtesy of Mr Camel) Title: Re: ***** Official Grand National Thread ***** Post by: Karabiner on April 10, 2010, 11:19:29 AM Big Fella Thanks for me.

Title: Re: ***** Official Grand National Thread ***** Post by: Chompy on April 10, 2010, 04:57:07 PM Took £220 odd out of King John's Castle in the place market when he refused to jump away. Crazy stuff. Can't believe anyone wants to back them at shy of 100-1 when they behave like that.
Title: Re: ***** Official Grand National Thread ***** Post by: Laxie on April 10, 2010, 04:59:56 PM Threw a few on Magnum Force each way in the last for the laugh.
Title: Re: ***** Official Grand National Thread ***** Post by: The Camel on April 10, 2010, 05:11:28 PM I'm not usually the sentimental type when it comes to racing, but got to be happy for AP, he's the best jockey there's ever been and you could see how much it meant to him.

Yeah I was shouting the horse home and it felt wierd with not being on it even but McCoy deserved it imo.Congrats to him Title: Re: ***** Official Grand National Thread ***** Post by: Maxriddles on April 10, 2010, 11:29:06 PM I'm not usually the sentimental type when it comes to racing, but got to be happy for AP, he's the best jockey there's ever been and you could see how much it meant to him. This. Didn't win a bean on the national but wouldn't dream of grudging AP a long overdue victory in the race. Even if he never won it he would have been the greatest ever now there is nothing anyone can call into question about him. If SPOTY was a level playing field AP would be long overdue this too.

As long as Rooney doesn't win the World Cup for England, I think he's got a great chance of SPOTY..

If a little bitter... had the world each way on the second horse though. Was outclassed though tbf. The winner was full of running. State of play needs about 15 miles i think, ran well though!
