The Grand National Thread

[Ric Flair]

Who's betting on what this year?

Also should we have a FoxesTalk sweepstake? I haven't got time to do it, but perhaps someone else could do it? Count me in.

[Syko]

i'm picking the winner

[IDEA OR IKEA]

i'm picking the winner

Im going for third place

[Bert]

i MIGHT have time to do the sweepstake after the game tonight but don't count on it.

[Strokes]

I think it will be hedgehunters year again.

[Head Honcho]

£5 e/w on Rince Ri @ 200/1

£20 win on Ross Comm @ 20/1

£20 win on Jacks High @ 16/1

Gonna stick another £50 on something tomorrow haven't decided what yet but might be one I've already backed

[Tommy]

I'm split between going for Numbersixvalverde (10-1) and Innox (16-1). Trouble is with Innox is that he rarely finishes races strongly e.g last years national, he was in 3/4th and ended up finishing 7th.

I'm split

Wish i'd read that before I put money on Innox!

[SystonFox]

how much you do on it chris? i think im gonna do a few after work. maybe go with E/W on Innox and a large bet on hedgehunter as i think he will storm it.

What does everyone think of;

£1 - Clan Royal - 5/1

£5 - Hedgehunter - 6/1

£1 E/W - Jack High - 14/1

£1 E/W - Cornish Rebel - 20/1

£1 E/W - Dun Doire - 20/1

£1 E/W - Forest Gunner - 40/1

£1 E/W - Amberleigh House - 50/1

Then I have though about putting a bet on predicting 1st, 2nd, and 3rd (Can you do that? Whats the type of bet called? And how do you work out your odds?)

1st - Hedgehunter

2nd - Clan Royal

3rd - Jack High

[C-man]

I've put a fiver to win on Sir OJ and £2.50 each way on Numbersixvalverde

[Tommy]

I've gone for my first instinct and gone for Innox, lets just hope he can last the distance and not tire out.

[Bert]

Me and my mates have done

Hedgehunter

Clan Royal

Innox

First Gold

Jack Kigh

First Gold

Garvivonnian

Nil Desperandum

Haut De Gamme

Royal Auclair

[SystonFox]

i have gone £5 E/W on Royal Auclair because i had it last year and it came 2nd and also Claire's the missus' name. might put a few quid on Clan Royal too.

[Mark]

£1 Numbersixvalverde to win.

£1 E/W Ebony Light.

[The People's Hero]

Clan Royal to win.

Small e/w bets on Hedgehunter (carrying a lot of weight), Nil Desperandum and Therealbandit.

Jack High and Garvinnion will probably feature I imagine.

[Foxes 2 da grave]

Forest Gunner to win.

[Cobbo]

Numbersixvalverde wins.

[Knighton Matt]

Numbersixvalverde wins.

Backed him. £11 at 11-1 e/w should be £170 or thereabouts lining my pocket tonight including my stake back! Have it!

Well done old boy.

I had hedge hunter on an each way bet at 11-2.

[Mark]

£1 Numbersixvalverde to win.

£1 E/W Ebony Light.

I wish I'd put more on now.

[Cobbo]

I wish I'd put more on now.

He'd have broke his leg if you had I'm sure

[dynamite foxes]

Put a fiver on valverde to win !!!!!!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :thumbsup:

[Libertine]

One of mine (Nil Desperandum) came 4th, so I'm relatively happy with that.

I was going to choose Numbersixvalverde though originally.

Nothing

Worse than last year and last years returns we're laughable - 75p

(I put £10 on last year and won £10.75)

Oh well
