I always used to be working too so we would organise a sweepstake.
Makes it more interesting too

Can you listen to it on the radio? Sometimes it's as good on the radio as it is on the telly.

You'd think that by the time they got to ride in the Grand National they'd know how to stay on

Best of luck with your two choices, I won't be putting anything on'cos OH has a bet on every race every day (she always wins as well!)

You'd think so! I'm still adamant my bet should've won because technically the horse finished first!

I think I will take a stroll to the bookies tomorrow for my 2 choices
But this is a dog lovers forum where you're more than likely going to encounter... animal lovers

Who are obviously going to want to air their opinion on the matter

I LOVE the Grand National (in fact I love all racing whether National Hunt, or Flat) and will be glued to the box.

Used to work with racehorses and I know how much they enjoy it and also how well cared for they are.

Great event.
