Hate seeing all the horses getting cattled on the frankly ludicrous forests they set up for them to jump over. But this thread's about office sweeps, so shhhh.

Happy Face 29 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Daft Bastid in our office printed the form from 2005. On Monday I got number 16 which was 66-1 (last year). Just this morning realised his mistake and it turns out I've got Clan Royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Used to be against it and not a fan of the National but I reckon the horses actually have pretty good lives. I remember seeing something about Hedgehunter going on holiday! Mind, the horses (being National Hunt) are geldings so they haven't got the chance of being retired to stud.

Gemmill 42666 Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 Last year I had a bet on the one that was miles out in front until that stray horse turned up and guided it straight into the railing fence. Gutted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Hog 488 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I had £2.50 each way on Number 6 Valve and two others after a tip off, not bad going I suppose. Since I was a new user I got another £20 to spend on betts, so I just whacked it on some of todays matches. One was the mackems v Fulham and the bugger has been called off.

snakehips 0 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Snakehips as the race starts: '....a bit of the magic of the race has gone due to the fences being reduced in stature.' My horse June-whatever then falls at the first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not to worry, Mrs hips and her mother have money on the winner, after my dad recommended it yesterday:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
