Title: The Grand National 2021
Post by: Cazikins on April 10, 2021, 12:05:07 PM: It's that time of the year again & time for a little bet (virtual or otherwise ;)).
Click on the link to the BBC sports racecard which shows all the 40 runners & riders, but remember some of these may be withdrawn by the time the race starts at 17.15.

My son picked the winning horse but couldn't put a bet on. He would have won £260. ::)

Well done Littleminnie.
I've missed going to the races this year - it's a lovely day out & even moe so if you have a winner or two. Hopefully be able to go again soon.

We went to Point to Point meetings a lot when I was a child. In fact there is a course in my old home village.

We hope to go to a race meeting, maybe next year, as youngest son has never been.
