Grand National 2019

Unread post by Onelife »

Hi Punters…. well it’s time to get your pins or whatever method you use to select the winner of this year’s Grand National.
As always Keely is here to give you all the information (Curtesy of Attheraces) you will need to make that life changing selection

http://national.attheraces.com/racecard ... -2019/1715

I’ve spent the last 5 minutes studying the form so if you find your pin a little blunt you could do worse than having a flutter on “Rock of Kasbah”

Good Luck

Hey Mob…I’m sorry to hear you won’t be anywhere near a bookie but what are mates for… I’ve decided to put a bet on for you.

I may have just wasted two hours studying the form but have come up with three selections one of which I will be putting a fiver on for you.

I’ve decided to leave Tiger Roll out of my top three as it would only return £15 for a win…however, make no mistake about it, if this horse stand up it will make the podium.

Rock the Kasbah…. has all the credential’s, good weight, right age, soundish jumper, and stays

Vintage Clouds…. Trained by Sue Smith… the master of staying chasers…dismiss at your peril

Ramses De Teillee…7-year olds don’t generally figure in the closing stages of the National but this one has every chance of bucking that trend.

I’ll let you know at 5.30 tomorrow which one you were on. :D

WOW … that is so kind of you, thanks OL, but for some reason I suspect that my horse may be called " Chocolate Boxer ".

As for many it’s a case of “if Only”
