That name sounds decidedly dodgy to me ;-)

Attention now turns to Lee Westwood in The Masters......

Re: Grand National
 

£1 eachway on Black Apalachi, & £1 each way on State of Play.

A couple of quid up.

Nah, the one I'll be getting won't be an Irish Italian, so we should be ok not to go backwards in a cloud of electric smoke!

Besides this ones a Jap Italian hybrid, rather reliable compared to its thoroughbred stable mates.;)

Re: Grand National
 

I had £5 on Hello Bud to win - he was in the top 3 horses for quite a way towards the end... but obviously peaked too early. Shame - it would have won me £200 or so. They showed a winning betting slip on the TV after the race - from someone who'd placed £5k on the winner - and was set to get £80k back. Agh!

Re: Grand National
 

I had a £5 on the nose for Hello Bud as my dog is called Bud. Hello Bud also won the Scottish national last year so I thought i would take the chance!

Re: Grand National
 

£3.50 e/w on 5th and £2.50 e/w on winner at 16/1, returned about £88

happy days

backed westwood at the masters at 18/1 e/w too, so plenty of winners at the weekend :)

Re: Grand National
 

You backed the Brit - good man :-)

Michelson was unstoppable yesterday, looked like he was going to win it right from the first tee. Experience counts for a lot in those situations.

Well done Lee Westwood, though :thumbsup:

Re: Grand National
 

I had moneys on Westwood (18's) and Poulter (35's) so after day 2 i was in a very good position.

I think the cack handed yank won it on day 3 with back to back eagles, very lucky imho, but he played the final day well i'll give him that...

Re: Grand National
 

. . . and didn't Tony McCoy look :p happy :p in those pics of the finish!
Ought to be a natural on a bike, too.

Re: Grand National
 

Well, stone me (not all at once please), I actually won the work's grand national sweepstakes. £22 quid it the bank for a £1 flutter, not bad I reckon.
