Yes and followed tradition our Dad did with us by letting the kids pick a few with 50p each way!

At least it's a nice day for it!

Hi snooze.

Yeah same with us too.
Even if we didn't have a proper bet, we,d pick a horse outa the hat.
Brings back great memories.
I've tried to keep it going with my own family now.
Husband hates it with a passion, says it's too harsh. So he won't be betting today! ::)

Good luck snooze. But it is anybody's race.  ;)

Don't believe in the Grand National.  The horses should run without jockeys ........ after all, they are bred to jump.

Glad to hear someone else had a bit of luck.

My hubby don't like it either. Thinks it's too much for the horses.
