Only 5 of the last 19 winners have been 9.

You could never be sure which Black Apalachi would turn up, but the horse has improved so much since moving yards this season. Has run well this season and has got a run over hurdles under his belt.

I think i will have a bet on him on the day.


has the right qualities by winning the becher chase over the national fences earlier this season but may need softer ground. saw this horse come 2nd in a bumper to future cheltenham festival winner l'antartique at listowel in ireland in 2004 (i think) :?





money is not the root of all evil but the pusuit of it is.

Not saying it's the magic age but 9 year old have been most successful.

http://www.freebetonthenational.com/cat ... n-average/

"Nine-year-olds have proved the most successful age group in recent years, providing eight of the last 28 winners of the John Smith’s Grand National. Nine-year-old scorers in that period have been Lucius (1978), Grittar (1982), West Tip (1986), Rhyme ‘N’ Reason (1988), Lord Gyllene (1997), Bobbyjo (1999), Papillon (2000) and 2005 hero Hedgehunter".

Fancy Al Eile in the Aintree Hurdle on Saturday.
Was given the tip by an Irish Bloke on the train to the course last year and ignored it ... Won!

Won't be ignoring it this time round.





WARRINGTONIAN!

EVERTONIAN!

I Think One I Have To Go With Is My Will Due To The Ruby Walsh Factor If Anything...
Probably Have A Dabble On Offshore Account And Maybe Cornish Sett With Fundamentalist Aswell...

My Top 4 Selections:

1. My Will
2. Offshore Account
3. Cornish Sett
4. Fundamentalist

:lol: @ War Of Attrition

That was one of the most ridiculous "gambles" I have ever seen. I would have happily taken the liabilities on people wanting to back it over the past fortnight.

The National is a waste of time and not a race I will never have a serious bet in. I had Comply or Die last year but only made a small profit due to having savers on 3 others :roll:
