Grand National
 

Anyone else have a flutter? I put a fiver each way on the winner! YAY!:takeabow:

Re: Grand National
 

Our resident horsey person (in work) won.

We all watched, and were quite amused by the one horse that was refusing the jockey and then once the jockey was on said 'Oh yeah? Well I'm not going anywhere' when it started.

(I don't bet on stuff)

Re: Grand National
 

Yep, £10 win on the winner. AP McCoy had to win it sometime :D

Re: Grand National
 

I got £85 back, not sniffing my nose at that!! First time I have bet on the national!

Re: Grand National
 

I had the winner in the office sweep. Was cheering for Dream Alliance though :-)

Glad that all horses and jockies came through it ok :thumbsup:

Re: Grand National
 

I went for the giggle horse.
The last time I was pregnant, I wanted to back a horse called Red Marauder, the colour and name of my mates bike.....and it won.


Well no guesses to what I backed this time....Irish Raptor.
Yippeee it was rather fast and doing well, until the rider realised he'd pulled the throttle too much and it threw him off into the 14th hedge!!!

Re: Grand National
 

I backed the winner and 3rd place.

Went to Ladies day yesterday with Nobbylass and won over £200.

She went on Thursday as well but won nowt.

Best year I've had on the Gee Gees for a long time.

Re: Grand National
 

i had a few bets on £2.5 e/w on mccoy cos he had to win it sometime, £5 e/w on black apalachia and £5 e/w on big fella thanks! so i got 3 of them in and made £40 profit for the day. good times!

really want to go for a day at the races, but i dont have the discipline to gamble sensibly whilst there!

Re: Grand National
 

Trust me, it's so hard to get a bet on, you'd probably save a fortune! Too many people these days, ends up being a right mess.

Re: Grand National
 

Clearly that has to be an omen of sorts, concerning exotic bike ownership.
Turn back, before it's too late! ;)
