The Grand National

[Bagpuss]

The national really is a mugs race, any horse down to 50-1 could win it.
Cloudy Lane is only favourite because Ginger McCain's son trained it (mind you ginger's record is pretty good)

worth a look:

Point Barrow 20-1

Kelami 40-1

Backbeat 66-1 reasonable each way bet

This will be the first year, possibly in my entire life, that I wont be watching it!! (My folks both worked in the bookies trade - I was raised on it!)

I will instead be doing a full 10 hours here http://seaham-hall.co.uk/ for loads of treatments, use of the gym, pool, sauna, steam room, outdoor hot tubs, thermal baths, etc etc etc etc etc

Bliss!

One of the treatments I'm getting is one of those colon massages - has anyone had one? They're meant to make you do a massive poo I'm a bit scared incase I need to, erm, do a massive pump while I'm on the table though

Oh SA - you are mental

I placed a couple of bets on philson run and point barrow at 31-1 each.

Used betfair and got a £25 free bet with a £25 deposit (you don't get the free amount until after the race tho)... looks like you can get some decent odds there too, Kelami is currently at 74-1, Backbeat at 169-1
