Grand National 2011

Who are you backing and why?!

Just put a few quid on Character Building @ 25/1

Bit of a punt but seen a few good things written about Quinn today...

lol, horse racing sucks.

I must admit, the media have been quiet on the Grand National this year, barely anything mentioned in the papers and the usual internet news sites.

Usually there is a big media fanfare surrounding the whole thing.

We done a Sweepstake in work here. I picked 2 horses but I suspect one of them might be a donkey afaik

Nope, you do.

Got State of Play in the sweepy at work. Might back it @ 25/1. Third and fourth last 2 years.

I always stick a few quid on whatever Paul Carberry is riding purely because he's a relation then I'll pick something else at random.

It's too warm to go and place a bet. I'm passing this year.

I just hope Fergies (Alex) horse breaks its leg.

Any particular reason for you to post in a thread/topic you're clearly not interested in? The stupid comments really aren't necessary.

Back on topic, tempted to put some money on Don't Push It - won me some money last year

With free matching bets as well? Who in their right mind would bet online????

I'm looking at putting a bit each-way on Calgary Bay and Arbor Supreme - odds are pretty long but both look ok for an each-way bet. Won a nice bit last year on Don't Push It to win so don't think i'll go with the same horse again,

Ah the troll is back, keep going and you'll get this thread closed as well.... :rolleyes:

The Running Man · 8 Apr 2011 at 15:29

Ill be there tomorow... went last year and out of about 15 people i was one of only 3 who did not put at least a tenner on the 18-1 shot... i was really gutted...

Any tips would be appreciated!

Cool Breeze · 8 Apr 2011 at 15:29

I have pulled The Tother one and Skippers Brig out the Sweep at work

Craig1981 · 8 Apr 2011 at 15:34

I'm working a stupid 11 hour shift tomorrow so I probably wont have time to go put on a bet

stoofa · 8 Apr 2011 at 15:34

Got Chief Dan George in the sweepstake at work.
So I put an EW bet on it as well so if it does come in I'll win proper money.

But at 40:1 I don't hold out much hope

Nope, too much of a temptation to carry on.

Abraham · 8 Apr 2011 at 15:49

Hello Bud, Comply or Die and That's Rhythm in the sweepstake at work, so have put a couple of quid on each of them each way, also went with Arbor Supreme as I won a few quid on it last year
