Snow Leopardess, Koco Beach and Dingo Dollar in our house. Thrown a cheeky bet on Commodore and Santini just for fun. Love the National, fabulous event. Until one of them has to get up-close and personal with a shotgun :disappointed_relieved:

We all having a flutter on the National? 3 picks from the family and Iā€™m on Born By the Sea. Prob fall at the first fence and get shot but all great fun.

I HATE horses. But getting pissed at the races is a great way to spend a sunny day :slight_smile:

I avoid big Saturday meetings during the summer nowadays, due to the coachloads of drunken and charlied-up Peaky Blinders wannabes in their crap, ill-fitting suits.

As for the National itself, itā€™s very wide open this year. Iā€™ve backed five of them (all ante post), with Vanillier and Corach Rambler my biggest bets.

Good luck to yourself and everybody else!

And Iā€™d shoot the fuckers. Pre-warned obviously. Next year will be a blood bath.

Make em protest at every racecourse in Britainā€¦make em walk there and tie em to fenceā€¦how many of these so called animal lovers have actually been to stables and spoken to stable staffā€¦one woman ,protesting, couldnā€™t remember where she was, but she was protestingā€¦duckeggā€¦leave these protesters at the gatesā€¦and when the punters leave let em pee on emā€¦

Forecast up. :sunglasses:

Make sure you back Vanillier for next year. He came from too far back today.
