Aintree 2010

Only a week away now till the big day. It's one of those days in the sporting calendar that I look forward to, the National is always a big buzz.

Couple of days yet till the official list of runners comes out but judging by the National's website, the favourites are Big Fella Thanks (10/1) and Mon Mome (13/1). If you're looking for a placed finish, then Comply Or Die at 25/1 is the best bet in my opinion. Won the race in 08 and runner up in 09, so obviously knows the course and likes it.

We having another sweepstake so AussieRed can defend his title

Good idea DLS, I'd be up for a sweepstake, I think RedKenny did it last year, maybe when he's back from his little trip he'll do another one for this year.

Count me in as well.  Second thoughts, if MsG is in it 

Don't worry Smiggs, I didn't win last year

AR did.

My idea last year, RK sorted it all out though i think.

Anyone going? Or got any tips?

I'm looking forward to seeing all the lovely ladies going down the road on Friday. 

It all kicks off tomorrow - so there could be a few drunk suited up people at Anfield tomorrow night.

Kenny, are we going to have a sweepstake like we did last year? I know DLS mentioned it on another thread.

Yep, I'll sort that out on Friday. Cheers Cas.

One of the fellas in work states Cloudy Lane is a good outside bet, each way.

Also if declared, Fiddlers Cross I think its called.  Had a stormer at Cheltenham, came in 7/1.  I had £2.00 on it (last of the big spenders  ) Anyway, he knows someone that works at the stables and Cloudy Lane is from the same place and is looking good from what they are saying.  Anyway, I'll put my obligatory £2.00 on both of those horses     

I'm up for the sweep as well folks 

I'm up for a sweep too (yes I am legally old enough to gamble )

Whenever my brother and cousin put money on a horse they seem to win, so if I fancy a cheeky bet I'll be asking them!

Yep, I'll sort that out on Friday. Cheers Cas. 

Nice one Kenny 

Going for Vic Venturi myself fancied it for months now,had a few shilling on it about 6 weeks ago and come home with the bacon,a good stayer and the ground should good be for it.For the none gamblers back it EW and good luck whatever you pick.

Researching this to see who i should money on. Not half confusing, is it?! Why can't they just pick horses to run and that's that? What's the deal with that?

Anyone having a few punts today?

I'm off down the bookies soon to have a quick look at the racecards. Anyone got any tips for me (On the races that is  )

Vic Venturi to win.

Ballyholland and Backstage each way.
