I'm like Kazanne and don't really like Horse Racing very much, I am however a lot softer on it than I used to be.

The ones in bold are the ones that caught my attention if I was to bet on it however, they'd be the ones that I'd consider.

Hello Mocky,I know a lot of people enjoy this spectacle, it's just not my cup of tea, I think it's cruel and jumps way too high ,even though they have been lowered a bit,I had a flutter once and the horse I chose fell and was put to sleep ,so never again for me.

Hello Kazanne, I agree with you I'm not keen on how high the fences are either, I used to argue on my Dad about it a lot when I was younger.

However I do watch it as it's probably a rare time where we all seem to have an opinion on the same thing in my house, good or bad so we can discuss it afterwards.

My worst Sport is Boxing though, all it is really is how quick can you get brain damage.

I have to say I always breath a sigh of relief when they get found the track, it's the only race we all have a flutter on as a family

I think most people have a flutter on it Cherie,most of my family do too,I also cant wait till it's over and am relieved if I hear no horses died,which doesn't happen often Good luck tomorrow though

[Crimson Dynamo]

[Crimson Dynamo]

iv been betting on this since i was a wee boy when my dad would spend all morning phoning all my old aunties and grannies collecting bets and then went off to laddies to place them. i lined them all out in front of the tv it was so exciting

Spare a thought for the bookies; if you know what each way means, explain it to your relatives before they dodder off to place their bets. Please. PLEASE!

It is a nightmare. An unholy nightmare. Although it is also the only day of the year that you get passable-looking females entering a bookmakers so there's always that...

Meh. Anyway. Generally I don't bet at all (other than on reality TV because it's highly predictable and you can make decent money, heh) but I have Many Clouds straight win and an e/w on Goonyella. Might as well get into the spirit, I suppose.

Doors open in 15 minutes... Pray for us... Pray...

I DO feel for you T.S., I've been in long queues of once-a-year pinsticking punters on Grand National day who didn't write out their bets clearly - the most memorable of whom was an old dear who even handed the teller a blank betting slip and asked her to write out 6 horses, all each way, for her.

The great irony is, that ALL the regulars moaned and groaned about her, but her 'top' horse which she put Ł1 ew on - Mr Frisk - WON the National and none of the 'pro' regulars had that winner, including myself.

[joeysteele]

Where I am, I don't actually bet on the Grand National but a Cousin does and when we go in to do so, there are staff on hand to help people write out their bets and advise them and there is even light refreshments on hand too.

Very rarely have we seen really long queues or hold ups at the actual counter on Grand National day.

I know it is a race this divides opinion,I am probably more against it than for it myself and I wish the fences were easier but even when a jockey is unseated, often the horse will continue running the race and even still jump the fences too.
So clearly the horses in the main must enjoy it.

That's because Horses do love running.

The Sport itself is fine if as you said they lowered the Fences so it was less dangerous for the Horses to jump.
