Subject: Re: The Grand National Sat Apr 10, 2010 10:40 am

There will be a list somewhere, I was in the bookies putting me footy coupon on and there was a seperate ticket with all the horses on so i just picked one out. William Hill and all other bookies will have a list as well as most national newspapers.

Subject: Re: The Grand National Sat Apr 10, 2010 10:42 am

well if someone can find a list we can all pick a random horse Smile

Subject: Re: The Grand National Sat Apr 10, 2010 10:43 am

I've picked 2 out and did 2 other random horses using this random generator here http://www.random.org/ (warning: some are non-runners though).

Anyone can win the National and it was a 100/1 that won it last year.

Gone for The Package, didn't look brilliant at Cheltenham and Graham Lee's had a bad season but he's due a good run.

Amazing how many people get involved in this race, there's loads of better races about but people go mental for the National.

Disco it's because it has the most runners in it and also because of the course which has the highest fence in any horse race (so no doubt the animal right protesters with be there again).

BTW here are my 4 picks:

Comply or Die
Character Building (picked at random)
Don't Push it
Hello Bud (picked at random)

comply or die sounds like something outa robot wars

Poor class of horses though, I posted an article on here about Cheltenham (100x better!) and nobody even knew it was on.

It won 2 years ago, did nothing last year... but who knows.

Half of them will fall at the first hurdle anyway as it always happens.

One site says Paul Beck is the owner and the other says Freddie Flintoff is the owner?
