Whos going to win the national...

[jhoward]

Interesting bunch and with the course yet again altered I think it gives the lesser horses that stay out of trouble that bit more of a chance...

 

[redmone]

My money's (literally) on Big Fella Thanks!

Finished x3 times, good age, good weight - come on Big Fella, bring me £100!!!!

Am I the only one who has spent the day answering the question "well you smell of horses, who should I bet on....." cause, yeah, I know who's going to win!!!

 

[Fools Motto]

Would love AP to win again on Colbert Station
Would love Ballabriggs to win again for the McCains
Would love Chicago Grey to win - another grey!!
Would love Seabass to win - c'mon Katie!

For an outsiders bet, Joncol - apparently he is a huge horse, stand out in the crowd!

Who knows, if any of the above win, I'll be getting a lottery ticket!!

 

[ladyt25]

Haven't even looked at the runners but would love Seabass to win or Imperial Commander I think. Ballabriggs though has run a few times hasn't he? Hmm, and Weird Al (love his name and he seems to do ok jumping)

Ooh, I don't know!!

 

[jhoward]

Lol I liked the name of weird al.
Mc coy rarely has any luck in this race dies he yet he's always on something fancied. Walsh hasn't had a win for a while either

 

[Noodles_3]

Not sure who I'm backing, quite fancy seabass!

However just hope all the horses get around safe, that's the main thing

 

[ILuvCowparsely]

I do not care who wins as long as no fatalities

 

[noodle_]

ive put on 4 - but since speaking to others may throw on another 2 tomorow

i put on £5 to win and last year scooped £250

 

[Delicious_D]

Seabass to win and teaforthree each way

*fingers crossed*

 

[Dumbo]

Imperial Commander I hope! Sam TD deserves to win

 

[caramel]

I've gone with Colbert Station EW .

 

[Kikke]

Don't want to be rude but honestly couldn't care less more concerned with possible injuries and god forbid casualties.

 

[TelH]

I'm not entirely convinced whether it's the right thing to do run Imperial Commander. He's 12, he's never been over the National fences before, has a history of injury and has a Ryanair and Gold cup to his name so doesn't owe anyone a thing. That said it would be a fine way for him to round off his career if he was to win. Other than him I would have to go for Seabass if he copes with the extra weight he's got this year. Sooner or later a girl has got to win it

Inevitably there will be (fatalities) but let us not detract from what will be as usual a terrific spectacle and a very brave animal who wins.

Why bother responding to this post then?

 

[Ginger_ninja]

I'm having a flutter on Auroras Encore, I know nothing about racing but just think it's a pretty name

 

[rainer]

Would love to see a girl win c'mon seabass!

 

[RainbowDash]

I have no firm favourite. I usually choose my winner from the lead out and warm up - I've normally picked a horse thats ended up in the top three just my observation prior to the race. Last years race had me fuming before they even started so I switched off ......

Are the virtual dinks on you tonight Ginger_Ninja??
I'll have a large red wine!

 

[Ginger_ninja]

I'm gutted I only did each way!!! Still, 80 quid better off yayyyyy

Actually I don't think it is inevitable. There have been plenty of years where there have been no fatal injuries.

I don't think its inevitable there is many many years when no injuries.
No one will defract from the winner most people think of them when the race is done. But far far less worry about those who lost their lives. So pardon me for caring more about the looses than the winner

Well done GN - don't think there are many people who can claim to have seen that one coming!

 

[Ginger_ninja]

I had that gut feeling Chunkie! So glad I went for him, best 2 quid I ever spent

i hope you got down the bookies on time! Well done you if you did! I put money on 5 - various members of family and lost the lot!

 

[Ginger_ninja]

I was the only person in my family to get anything, my dads horse fell at one of the first fences! He wasn't best pleased
