I've not had a bet at the Aintree Festival, I've been busy with my seven week old triplets :wink:

For the National I always pick five horses.
So I'm going for;

Synchronised, cos I backed him in the Gold Cup @ Cheltenham

Ballabriggs, cos I backed him last year & always back a McCain horse in the National

According to Pete, cos I've always backed him

Calgary Bay, cos I have a soft spot for the trainer Henrietta Knight

Giles Cross, I like the trainer Victor Dartnell

And my two off the cuff ones are

Cappa Bleu

&

Seabass ridden by Katie Walsh :)

I've won almost £150 after backing Neptune Collonges at 3.30 this afternoon.

I backed him on William Hill @ 33/1

I also backed him "Twice" @ 33/1 on the Tote. The second time was a mistake but I'm not complaining :cool:

So all in all I got first, third & fourth :D

That will pay for my "triplets" inoculations" & possibly one neuter :exc:

Hi guys!

Don't mean to spoil a good thread but R.I.P Synchronised, and According to Pete, who where both put down as a result of nasty falls in the National today.

Thoughts are with BOTH jockeys on these horses and BOTH sets of owners at this sad time
