Grand National 2008

[saratogagirl]

I have bet Contraband because I got him in the sweep yesterday, he is such an outsider that I feel sorry for him, also Mr Pointment, Ian chose Tony McCoys horse Butlers something or other because 13 is his lucky number and it will be Tony McCoys 13th national, he has never won any of the other 12, there is logic there somewhere !!

Yay, I put a £5 on Comply or Die @ 17/2 and he won! First time my horse has won the Grand National!

Little extra cash for my Florida funds!

 

[Queenie]

We had bets on Slim Pickings and Compy or Die so we've netted £19 overall!

Idon't want to offend anyone but GOD this race makes my blood boil so many gorgeous creatures have died over the years running this race. Needless to say i haven't placed a bet. Iam a big softy where animals are concerned and hate animal cruelty. As i have said this is just me and don;t want to offend anyone.

No money won in our house ! we had 3 in the top 4 but had only backed them to win

[BRobson]

No wins here either - i shouldnt be surprised really!!!!

 

[Cyrano]

DS had £2 on Milan Deux Mille to win 200-1. Needless to say there was a bit of shouting going on in our house until near the end

 

[mikki.young]

I am a coward and always bet each way but Comply or Die did win so I have done alright (only a small bet!). I have been to flat racing and seen horses have to be put down because they injured themselves. I don't think anything is safe. Even the donkeys at Skeggy have weight limits now .

 

[Chilly]

We had £3 on Comply or Die to win, and £2 each way on Slim Pickings so two small wins in our house.

 

[mandymouse]

No winners here either (nothing new there then )

Well done to any winners
