I had Goonyella too, and that was the closest I got to a placing this year. Saint Are and Many Clouds both did well but faded. That's my annual visit to the bookie's over for another year!

A quarter or one fifth of the odds, £2 at, say 4-1, is eight quid, plus your stake, so a tenner.
Some years ago my then boss organised an office sweepstake for the Grand National. The two horses he pulled out of the hat came in first and second!! He was quite embarrassed... I think his winnings were converted to booze on the next office outing.
Very exciting finish this year.

I know lol, utterly crap! Don't think I saw it at all, maybe because I was looking at the BBC pin stickers guide and ignoring anything less than 7/10 or long odds...doh!
