Only a few hours left to go until the world's favourite horse killing race. Anyone having a flutter?

Do the bookies allow you to bet on how many horses will die?

My useless nag pulled up two fences from home when it was virtually in last place, so that was a waste of a fiver. The sooner they turn Kimberlite Candy into Evo-Stik the better as far as I'm concerned. I could have bought three cans of Polish super-strength lager for that.
I see a splitarse won the Grand National for the first time ever. Good job she wasn't required to actually reverse the thing.

If she has done any dressage which seems quite likely then she may well be able to perform a rein-back.
My favourite dressage from a viewers perspective is the half-pass. In this particular example the way the horse moves is wonderful to watch .
I can ride but it was my older sister who was a dab hand at dressage - I was always much more interested by boats than horses !

I'd find that difficult and I only have to coordinate the movements of 2 legs.

Depends on your perspective really. A £5 bet on one horse race a year isn't going to bankrupt me and adds value to watching the event. |

OMG Vince,one £5 bet a year-you're doomed on a downward spiral ! I know gambling can be ruinous, many years ago I used to work as an AWP service engineer and used to talk to the punters about them. I've never met anyone yet who ever lost money playing slots yes the bloke I worked for owned the biggest house in Kent and drove a Rolls-Royce. Go figure. |
