Will you be having a flutter on The Grand National ? and do you agree with it?



Personally,I wont and don't approve,you wouldn't believe the stick I've had because of that

[MTVN]

One of the greatest sporting events of the year, will place a couple of bets tomorrow after having a gander at the morning's tips

Just crossing you off my Christmas card list!!! Seriously though,I just hope it goes with no fatalities.

[Jords]

Imma pick a horse to place a bet on. I like the sound of Mr Moonshine.

i will haven't even looked yet. but i might look later whos running. i normally do ok though logically its the worst bet you can do

i dont really agree with it either i wouldn't care if they stopped it. but its not as dangerous as it used to be. The amount of horses being killed everyweek for food would amaze you .
so i try to look at it as least they are doing something and most trainers look after them well and care for them they dont want them injured anymore than we do. the majority anyway

God is it that time of year again..

Probably wont put a bet on tbh.

I find it all a bit cruel, the amount of horses that end up being killed at the end of it

I watched the Topham Chase over the Grand National fences today, and there were a lot of heavy falls. It seemed to be the jockeys that came off worst though.

Four are being treated for injuries I read now.

Don't mind the jockeys coming a cropper James as they have a choice and aren't put to sleep if they break a leg

[the truth]

it is a bit cruel isnt it....then again im eating a pig for dinner so im a total hypocrite
as for the horses im backing tea for three mainly because he won cheltenham before and hes a good jumper...he trains in sand down in pembrokeshire and always has the best jockey.....hes not the fastest but hes very solid which is a factor at aintree

[Novo]

Geraghty is in good form and always gives everything on triolo d'alene, the gold cup was disappointing but his jumping was nowhere near its best, i expect him to at least get a place if he finishes the race, just don't want to compete with long Run when there over the last..

[Josy]

Grand National time again already? this years flying in...

I don't know if I will put a bet on or not this time, I feel sorry for the horses every time though.

It's nice that people have fun Josy,it's just something I cant watch as ,same as you always feel sorry for the horses.

[Cherie]

I never really thought about horse racing, and the GN is the only one I ever put a bet on but after all the horse fatalities a few years back, not so keen now. Don't think I will bother.

I've bet on it a couple of times,but as I have taken more notice of it,I've not liked what I've seen,so that for me has put me off,we can nip to the pub

[the truth]

worth checking whos best on firm ground as it seems it will remain dry

[Novo]

Much better then being neglected in the field and going without good care and food like so many horses, its only a small % of horses that die compared to the ones that retire healthy and go onto live long life's so dressage etc, when you see the likes of Kauto Star and Franklin's Career and where they are now you know its all worth while

[Sophiee]

I'm thinking about placing a small bet on tomorrow, not sure on which horse yet though, I'm going to have a look at odds etc first.

[Alf]

Mine are on already, and have taken the prices

Balthazar King 14/1 £5 win
Colbert Station 50/1 £2.50 win
Hawkes Point 40/1 £2.50 win

[Crimson Dynamo]

I have never missed a bet (apart from that year it was cx due to bomb scare) since i was knee high to a grasshopper so of course
