Thanks mate for moving the post

I've put some money on Butlers Cabin (who I reckon you've backed as well mate).

100/1 winner.

Mon Mome.  Well played to some of the people who picked that one!

Had Comply and Die so I'll that that.

F***ing hell 100/1,  isnt it funny after the race you always go " I was looking at that one"   


On a side note, was gutted to see the screens going up for one of the horses that has collapsed. 

Two false starts as well  :

The Grand National is a fantastic race, I love it, but I get so upset if anything happens to the horses

Needless to say my horses didn't do anything today, did anyone on here have any money on  Mon Mome?  If so, the drinks are on you  .....100/1 bloody good price that.

What's happened to that horse Smiggs, do you know?

I think it collapsed on the run in to the line.  I hate to see that, takes the shine off the National.

Sadly, Hear The Echo passed away.
