    The Grand National

    Anyone having a flutter,due to my boycott of the bookies I won’t be bothering this year but do usually have a couple of random nags to throw my money at,never really won anything big but my sister just goes by the name and seems to get lucky most years with a placed horse,can’t remember the last time that she was out of pocket tbh

    I bet that howoldboy with his facts n figures is the John McClirick of Cumbrian Crack and can spot a winner miles off

    Haven’t had a bet on the nags for decades other than a GN draw at work which is pure chance. My brother-in-law was an on-course bookie and even he knew better than to bet on the nags. Stick to the footy Chalky.

    I was getting a blood test last week and the nurse mentioned she was going as her brother in law won it last year. Never been, so later bought a ticket and set off at 9 am Saturday. Planning to have a walk of the course and an ew bet on last years winner plus and outsider.

    Her brother-in-law is a horse?

    Are you going to tell us the names then?

    Presumably the fourth one was called Coitus Interruptus.

    Only if I win! I don't have the faintest clue about horses and betting - come to think not good, in fact dreadful, at predictions full time.
