I have no idea if I won

Had £6 on Teaforthree e/w

So I've won as it finished 3rd?

Me and the girlfriend had 3 in the top 5 all EW. Betfair hasn't updated yet so unsure if we at least covered our outlay.

Had a £1 ew on Aurora at 66/1 also got 2nd and 3rd on EW bets not sure who was 5 and 6th yet so not sure about the rest of my horses. Had a total of 6 horses so not too bad of show at the moment.

^ Not bad, that's around £100 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd assuming you had a quid on them all.

Not sure what to do with my winnings - had a couple of quid left in a paddypower account which I put on Rare Bod. Think I've won £5.

Got £12 back off Teaforthree.

I know naff all about horses so I'm going to stick the lot on the football

On a side note, I wonder how many horses will die this year.

0

How many were you hoping would die?

I think that race proved my point about women jockeys. She was pushing for her life towards the final fence, but the horse wasn't responding.

No, it just shows your ineptitude towards backing horses.

A woman will win the National sooner or later. Katie Walsh is top notch. What did you expect her to do? Jump off and carry the horse for the final half mile?

I woke up this morning and thought I am going to stick £20 on Aurora's Encore to win.... Decided against the idea... Now I feel a douche...

hahaha never was a gambling man!

I got Auroras Encore and Always Waining in a sweepstake so that's made me a little bit of money which is nice and both finished safely which is great. I did think about putting a few quid on each of them at the bookies as well but decided against it, I think I'm happy enough with my choice though as I didn't expect to get any money back from the sweepstake in the first place.

Really pleased that there were no serious injuries from the race today, it's always sad when they've got to put down one of the horses.

I didn't do too badly...

robfosters · 6 Apr 2013 at 22:41

Aurora's Encore went off at 127/1 on the exchange.
