prideothenorth Posted April 15, 2023 Posted April 15, 2023 Might be wrong but never seen a Horse Racing thread yet so with the Grand National being run today, what are you backing?. Here are my selections, Gaillard Du Mensil, Coach Rambler and Sam Brown ( each way).
vanderark14 Posted April 15, 2023 Posted April 15, 2023 Having a look at the odds and horses later on. Then sit down with a pint to watch the race
bonzo Posted April 15, 2023 Posted April 15, 2023 This is the only time I bet on horses. I took 4 for no other reason than I liked the names. Velvet elvis Ain't that a shame The big dog Back on the lash A fiver on each to win.
StirlingEgg Posted April 11 Posted April 11 I'm sure there was some Grand National chat last year but cannot find it! Have gone for: Haiti Couleurs Spanish Harlem Twig The wee man and his pal have chosen: Panic Attack (they think it sounds like Pancake Attack) Firefox
Ally Bongo Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Used to be a great thread every year and one of the tambers always had an in depth review - can't remember who it was I think it's long been forgotten that Ally Bear gave a good write up for Mon Mome in 2009 and it won at 100/1 It's no longer the race it used to be and it doesn't grind my gears as much Those at the top of the market will fill the places more often than not now so the chances of a big outsider making the frame are much less than they used to be (famous last words) Outside of I am Maximus and Grangeclare West i have went for Stellar Story at 33/1 It was tipped to run well at Cheltenham but they pulled it out the race there and saved it for today That's my only angle

I initially thought it was you but on thinking about it I think it was someone with WESTA or one of the TAs in his username.
