Re: The Grand National
My Tips for some good betting is:
NumberSixValVerde - A good each way bet but with low odds it doesn't seem worth it!
Liberthine - Female horse, pregnant, amateur jockey who has won 3 from 5 runs round the fences at Aintree. Need I say more! Fantastic story - odds of around 25/1 (can get 33/1). My tip to win the Grand National!! (If there is any doubt it's over Stamina)

Re: The Grand National
I heard on Radio 1 today some medium has spoken to Red Rum and knows who is going to win the GN today
I can't remember which horse she said, and can't find it, but if we can, its gotta be worth £1 for a laff surely.

I believe Red Rum's trainer's son (if that makes any sense!) trains another one in the race. I bet its that horse.

Re: The Grand National
Donald McCain trains 'Idle Talk' which has a good chance as far as I think.

Re: The Grand National
My money is on Idle Talk, Mr Tink thinks Dun Doire stands a good chance. IMHO this is a race that could be won by any of the horses, there are always so many fallers, and loose horses that get in the way of the contenders. Good luck everyone, hope you win!

When you see horses like that in the National I always think they have low odds due to the amount of people called Joe or know a Joe who bet on them.
I've a fiver each way on Bothar Na

Also if your doing an each way bet make sure you find a bookie who pays top 5.

Re: The Grand National
Joe's Edge looks favourite - odds have fallen. With this warm weather, the ground is likely to be firm. I picked a couple of horses at work - Jack High and Simon. Couple of old nags
Joes Edge 10.00
Point Barrow 11.00
Hedgehunter 12.00
Mckelvey 15.00
Numbersixvalver 15.00
Dun Doire 17.00
Idle Talk 19.00
Billyvoddan 19.00

not 'banned' here, and I'm not against steeplechase, per se, but I do think this particular race is actually too cruel to the horses & too dangerous for the jockeys...
- just my opinion, though, not implied criticism, like Jules said, good luck to those having a flutter

Personally, I'm in two minds about it. I share your sentiments, but I also find the 15 minutes of carnage that the National is a fascinating spectacle.

I don't disagree, danielf, but I also think there are a few too many runners, some fences might be just a bit easier if there wasn't such a crowd at each one - my objection towards it, is that the jockeys choose to do the race, the horses don't

True, but it's the horses that decide they won't attempt the fence, and send the jockeys flying....
As I said, I'm in two minds about it. Part of me says its just wrong. However, that is precisely why I watch it (I'm not interested in horse racing at all). It's like watching Formula 1 with guaranteed crashes

That's the next F1 race, presumably? (I don't find any of the motorised sports particularly appealing tbh).
