    Morning :)

    Well DM DS has chosen his horses, they are as follows
    Major Malarkey - jockey's hat looks like a hazard sign (as good a reason as any)
    Weird Al - no reason for this one

    Mine are
    Big Fella Thanks - for DH
    Colbert Station - similar name to my baby cousin
    Imperial Commander - sounds very Star Warsy so reminded me of DH and DSes shared love :)

    I won't win but half the fun is in the shouting at your chosen horse to run faster like they can hear you :rotfl:

    Oh, if there's any number left on the sweep I'll take it :D

    SD I've picked Weird Al too for my free £5 Daily Mail bet.

    Good afternoon all, looking in to watch the Grand National. Thanks davemorton for organising the sweepstake, great idea.

    I see peeps have been reminiscing about placing bets on the GN. Booking wasn't a standard thing in our house, but as kids we were allowed to place a small bet on the horse of our choice, to teach us the evils of betting.

    That went well.

    My brother backed Red Rum each way three years on the trot! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Hope is not a strategy.
