Horse Meat.

[The Flying Mouse]

:twisted: Grand National day :D
Two things happen at thiis time of year.
1.The sale of silly hats rockets 8O .
2.I have my annual £1 bet on the horsies :mrgreen:

I have a verry scientiific aproach to picking a horse out.
First I research how the horse has performed in previous years.
Then I look at the weather forcast so I can judge which horses have performed best on wet/dry ground.
Then I check to see who is the trainer and jockey and research their careers.

Then I thhrow all those notes in the bin and go for the horse with a name I like :lmao:

But this year is different.
I'm betting my £1 on a horse because of who it's owned by.

Al Capone owned by A M Daly.

Now I haven't got a clue who A M Daly is :roll: but his name is an annagram of M L Aday.That's got to be a lucky omen 8)

So what horses are people backing, and any particular reason why?

I've got What's Up Boys and Gunner Welburn

These are radomn selections from the office sweepstake

Well the office sweepstake has given me Skycab at 150/1 so that's a guaranteed faller at the first fence :D

Personal picks would be....

Bear On Board which with a trainer called A King has to be a good punt at 10/1

or

Kingsmark at 50/1 with a name like that how can it fail?

and for pure comedy value Wonder Weasel at 150/1 has to be the best name to pick :D

hi all, :D ive got two in the national today, :wink: shardam and blowing wind ,and no before you ask there is no preference to me why ive done blowing wind :lmao: just picked it at random :roll: and shardam is what i got in the works sweep :wink: btw another coincidence is that the horse mousie picked, the trainer is actually called mouse morris :lmao:

[CarolM]

:twisted: Al Capone was pulled up at the 25th fence :cry:
Ran a good race though :up:

[Chris]

I got the winner!!!!!!

Sadly I have been queued out all day so never got chance to run round the bookies to put it on. Sad really as my customary fiver each way would have netted £110 if i had put on this morning at 16-1.
