M8CKN Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Any gamblers amongst us...with tips you wish to share? I'll be having my annual trip to the bookies later and wonder if my usual "pin in the paper" method is just as good as any hot tip. Vintage Star 40/1 and Mr Moonshine 28/1 are both trained by last years winner, Sue Smith who lives 2 miles from me so that is my only idea.

Luke Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 When I was a kid the National was a massive sporting event. We never missed it. These days I can't even watch it. Seeing the horses go over the massive jumps just makes me feel sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patently Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 The Tarmac strip inside the Grand National course was the venue for my first ever motorsport event. I'll remember it with affection for that. Those jumps were big & scary. Without all the foliage, we could see the hard wooden posts inside them. Definitely not the place to go off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) Each way, we've got 10 horses.. Double Seven Colbert Station - both chosen because the first is A P McCoys ride and the second was the horse he declined in favour of it, both of which he said were very strong contenders. Teaforthree - current favourite Tidal Bay Mr Moonshire Monbeg Dude (purely because Carberry is riding it and McCoy said it was another strong runner) Battle Group Hunt Ball (another McCoy said was a very good price for what is a strong horse) The Package And our rank outsider, which I've managed to draw in our little sweepstake at home, Kruzhlinin at 100-1. p.s. the grand total of £50 in total, of which the biggest possible return is £312.50 if Hunt Ball wins (and £216 if Colbert Station wins).

Booster Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 I have Big Shu and Triolo D'elene. Might chuck an extra tenner on Longrun as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 I looked at all three of those and thought "I'm going to regret not backing any of these". But then I realised it wouldn't be long before I'd be saying that about the entire field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve2 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 I had the grand sum of £1e/w on Pineau De Re at 28/1 and Double Seven at 11/1 so £40.75 to come back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 £20 from Double Seven - which MrsMe had picked out of our mini sweepstake. I got 7th. LittleMissMe's both fell. She's not happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 I backed 5 horses in total, 3 of which returned something. The most success I've ever had on the National, I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as well the Horses did something for you. Cos' the Donkeys at St James didn't. Edited April 5, 2014 by NewNiceMrMe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
