The Grand National: Where's Yer Shilling Going?

[Brandane]

I had Vintage Clouds and Captain Redbeard.

Vintage Clouds fell at the first... Captain Redbeard did a bit better but not good enough for a placing.

Beans on toast tonight!

 

[Bonefish Blues]

He was winning that from a mile out, made it look easy.

Lot of high value e/w bets hopefully

One of mine placed but think I’ve lost more than won...yep 9.80 down

 

[Paulus]

Nothing in this household, 7 eachway bets, 4 fallers and the other 3 pulled up.

£2.80..for me from a £1 each way.. Paid for a couple of bottles of Hobgoblin beers, but 80p is a win.. I wont bore you with the £8 i lost on the other 4.

Wife won £16 from her tenner so a whopping £4

I had 14th and 15th... Others didn't finish.

Not a good year, I usually manage to pick something that finishes in the places.

My uncle was an avid race goer, attended a Grand National in the 90s and saw 2 horses die yards in front of him. He never placed a bet again.

Another one at the first fence today. I thought it was struggling to get up.

I backed one in the 12:50 at Haydock the other day. It came third in the 3:15.

As an animal lover, none of them.

This. Horse racing is barbaric.
