Grand National 2007

Any tips for the race then?

I quite fancy:

Long Shanks (!) - 25/1
Eurotrek - 18/1
Homer Wells - 33/1

Victor Chandler are doing a great bet deal.  If your horse falls you get you money back.  Well worth checking out if you are having a flutter.  (My horses usually do end the race on their arses).

My mates a manager at williams hill and normally pretty good with the horses,

he's goin for:

Point Barrow - 10/1
Simon (Great name for a horse!) 16/1
L'ami - 20/1
Long Shanks 25/1

Reckon the Shanks one is going to get a bit of backing. 

Simon.  Great name.

Has there ever been a Mr Ed race in the National?

Heard good things about Point Barrow !! Going on the nose for him.
Each way on Longshanks  -  know nothing about him, but...

Heard the tip for Eurotrek in work today as well JD, he had a race yesterday and won as well, might be worth a couple o'bob !!

Longshanks!

Mckelvey or Point barrow

I've done Eurotrek, Long Shanks, Ballycassidy and Graphic Approach.

I think a lot of reds will be putting some dosh on them first two.

Did anyone just see Coleen on BBC1 presenting the award to that fella for 'best dressed nobhead or something'.

They asked her why she wasn't at Villa Park supporting Wayne.  She said she would rather be here (Aintree).  Maybe she's not such an idiot after all.

point barrow & longshanks to win
eurotrek & monkerhostin e/w

good luck to all betting 

Did anyone win anything today? 

Nope 
looking to recoup some of the loses on the cricket at the mo.
NZ to beat SA.

One of my nags fell at the first FFS.

i had 3 quid on sliver berch it was 25/1 when i backed it but it was 33/1 at the finish i got 99pound plus me 3 quid back

but i also had point barrow witch fell at the first fence and clan royal dont no where that come never heard it mentioned

i got the tip for sliver berch off a mate who had put a 100pound straight win stake on it so i thought it was worth 3 quid i owe him a few pints for that but he had 100snots on it so hes getting nout im gratefull for the tip tho

Good one.  Thanks for posting your selection after the frigging race!

I didn't have anything. 

Funny though - my dog had picked the winner.  He's picking the horses next year.

I had each way bets on Eurotrek and Simon, both at 16/1.

Simon was going really well in 2nd when he fell with just a few left to jump  :'(
