Grand National day

[super jumbe]

Millions of viewers worldwide are expected to follow the 165th John Smith's Grand National.

Forty runners and riders will compete in the world's most famous steeplechase at Aintree.

An estimated 600 million racing fans across the globe will be watching the race, which is scheduled to start at 4.15.

It will be the last time the legendary contest is broadcast in the UK by the BBC before moving to Channel 4 for the next four years.

The race will be worth ?975,000 in prize money, making it one of the richest jump races in Europe.

This year it will contribute to a special sports day for Merseyside as it coincides with an FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Everton at Wembley.

Bookies are anticipating a ?1 billion bumper weekend from punters on the Grand National and the big football games.




Any tips?

Ballabriggs trained by Donald McCain's father Ginger looks a goog bet.

Last year's winner Ballabriggs who is looking to be the first horse to win consecutive Nationals since Red Rum in 1974, trained by Donald McCain's father Ginger.

its not about wining loads of money its about value .

not being ripped off.

it s a fun sort of race and sort of tradition,

no horse carrying over 11,5 has won the national since red rum so am going to avoid the first 5 and that includes ballabriggs and synchronised and no horse that has never won over 3 miles has won the national and avoid 7 and 8 year olds,that should narrow it down!!
