Title: Grand National 2006
Post by: Luci on Thursday, April 6, 2006, 12:09:38
As this is looming this Saturday, the question is who to bet on.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/horse_racing/4849444.stm

Think Im going to put on a few each ways....

Innox at 16-1
Amberleigh House at 50-1
Possibly Shotgun Willy at 100-1 for name purposes anyway  :D

Hedgehunter IMO has a good chance again this year...

Yup, Hedgehunter all the way for me to.
Runs and jumps all day long, it will take something special to beat it.

I hate this race, can never decide who I want to back, end up fancying about 7 or 8 horses.

Native Upmanship's run well and O'Dwyers one of the better jockeys around, worth a pop at 66-1. I'll have a pop on my namesake too.

Hedgehunter of course will be fancied, and it's about time McCoy and Clan Royal one this isn't it?

Clan Royal is my favorite bet then, and I'll have a few bob on Joes Edge and NU as my outsider.

May have a sniff at Joes Edge.  No sign of the odds getting better on Hedgehunter
