Grand National 2011

Yeah she did, lucky so and so!

I had £5 each way on two horses that came nowhere and I used my £20 free bet £10 each way on Don't Push It

Not sure what that'll get me and the paddy power website keeps dying on me so I'll look later.

Did you see John Parrot on the TV talking to those peopple that one over a grand? I'm sure I heard the women say they only bet £1 ? I think they may have predicted 1st, 2nd and 3rd in order?

Yeah, it was 1934-1 or something stupid for a tricast.

Neither of the horses I bet on made it into the top 5.

I say sell the jockeys to the glue factory!

theres people who bet up to £10K on a horse, they got extremely lucky, i think some guy put £60K on a horse last year and won.

Indeed, and the Trifecta (same thing, different pool) paid over £4,000.

Without horseracing, all race horses would be dead... :confused:

You really can't see the link between a webpage about race horse deaths and the grand national in which 2 race horses were killed?

Woop 4th so get something back with EW bet

Same here. First time in about five years my pick hasn't fallen at the first.

Exactly. There's no point mentioning animal welfare. It's only the money that matters. Same as it is with **** fighting, dog fighting, greyhound racing etc.. Remember that all of these animals are just animals - they don't have emotions, don't feel pain or experience fear.

I doubt the race would be run next year if three jockeys had just died over the course of the meeting.

Whilst your typical hippies annoy me, it was a bit bad of the BBC not to mention the deaths at all.

Granted they shouldn't spend the entire sports bulletin on the deaths, but they could have spared 10 seconds!

Dunks · 9 Apr 2011 at 18:50

Yeah, because a person has the same value as a horse.
