Ok. folks let's see what horses you fancy for the race this afternoon?

I fancy Vodka Bleu, Simon, Chelsea Harbour and Philson Run, so will have a bet on those,

I've picked Mr pointment and D'Argent in the sweep at work.

Good luck.

Caz you have plenty of time to put your bet on as the Big Race is about 4pm. On the National, it is usually better to bet each way:-) Good Luck! BC XX

Each way bet gives you a pay out if your horse is in top 4. (so if you want to put a £1 on a horse you have to pay £2 for an each way bet)

Money on the nose gives you a pay out on winner only.

The time I spent with my old dad on Grand national day really paid off!

In our sweep at work I've drawn Chelsea Harbour.

Hope I haven't put a jinx on it!

Caz do you have a Ladbrokes near you, They are very helpful and will have people who are queue helpers if you're unsure.

don't wish to offend anyone here but I cannot even watch it - all those beautiful horses and you can bet your bottom dollar that at least one, if not many more, will end up dead!! Sorry to bring a downer to the thread, but just the way I feel. Know I'm probably very much in the minority here
