Apologies if this has been started else where but Mods, feel free to lock it if it has but just wondered if anyone is betting on the national tomorrow and on who?

From a comitted jumps fan I detest the National, the biggest spotlight the sport has all year and it always generates such negative publicity. A 40 horse lottery, half a mile too long where the fences are too big and the skill of the jockey and talent of the horse comes secondary to luck. All played out in front of an audience of screeching, attention seeking paralytic idiots with appalling dress sense who wouldn't know one end of a horse from the other.

Anyway, West End Rocker.

1st - Synchronised 15-2
2nd - Cappa Bleu  14-1

A tenner with a straight forecast is a nice little earner.

I'm betting on According to Pete, in reference to my name.

If it win's it'll be the first time According has been a use for my first name.

I love the Cheltenham Festival but the Grand National is the greatest steeplechase race bar none

Ignore the stories about anything can win, this race follows strong trends more than most and you should find the winner from one of these six

Synchronised
Alfa Beat
Shakalakaboomboom
Killyglen
Sunnyhillboy
Mon Mome
Rare Bob

I wouldn't recommend backing all six but the winner will come from one of these

Famous last words I know...

My missus has the picked the winner of the National every year for the last five years.

She got 40-1 on Neptune Collonges this morning. Wish she'd put more than £2 a time on each year.

Beaten by a fucking nose. Not only that, but beaten by a fucking nose by the horse my dad bet on.

He had the winner last year too. And I think my bloody horse came second last year too.
