Grand National 2009

[Dcontrol]

The Grand National 2009 takes place at Aintree racecourse. The Grand National has 40 Grand National horses all hoping to win the coveted title.

We did a sweepstake in work (£1 entry) and I picked out (8) Black Apalachi odds 14/1. Not bad, last year I picked out the favourite but didn't get anywhere at all. This years favourite is (11) My Will at odds of 8/1. Anyone having a punt at this years Grand National? If so who is your tip?

Yes I know it's the 2008 picture below and it's run this year on the 4th of April .

I can't believe that nobody has put a little wager on, there must be somebody on here surely?

Calm down, calm down, only been a few hours :)

I put £25 on Can't Buy Time to win. Its a free bet, so even if I lose I get my £25 back. BUT if I win, I get about £2000.

VERY doubtful though :)

I have to bets, on, Cerium, and offshore account, :D
Cerium has very little chance of winning :)
But we will see :D
Good Luck everyone :D

I never bothered with the national. I won money on an acumulator on the Gold Cup and Celtic to win the CIS cup. Got £134.50 in total :)
