The Grand National

Well it's the Grand National on Saturday. I know some of you probably don't like gambling, but may have the odd flutter on the big races.

So here are my 3 tips for Saturday.

Slim Pickings 10/1
Hedgehunter 20/1
Chelsea Harbour 14/1

Let us know if you're going to have a bet and what horse are you going to back.

I agree with you, Jules, I think this race is overly cruel to the horses & too many of them have died/been destroyed during it, in my opinion...

Re: The Grand National

I shall most definitely be having a flutter on the National; didn't realise it was on Saturday. Will have to study form; my old Granny used to always pick a horse with a colour in it's name i.e. Red Rum. Don't think I have ever had a winner though. Anyone else got any more tips?
