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!

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! |

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

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
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.
