    Gambling on the National is the same as just going across to a local paddock and shooting someone's horse in the head. I thought better of you Nick.

    You know what they say about assumptions!

          Few quid back on second place; better than nothing, but still a loss overall

                Parasite snr picked the winner. Got about £21.60 back from her 50p e/w

                It's the only chase I'll bet on; having seen the 2/9 shot Vautour three lengths clear and go arse over tit at the course on Friday it just proves that you're as much backing the horse to get round as you are for it to get round quicker. Hurdles are a minimum 3.5 ft tall, chase fences 4.5 ft. Makes quite the difference.

                It's also the three days a year when the offended generation give a toss about horses (well, two, because they probably don't realise the Aintree festival runs on the Thursday too).
                The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist

                  you shouldn't have taken them all for a quick trot before betting. They had a chance before then.
                  Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                    Do Tesco have a supply of beefburgers now?
