Anybody follow horses? The big race of the year is coming up on saturday! Looking forward to it. Me and my dad had 3 winners today with the first day at aintree. Unfortunatley my dad didn;t trust my choice and only stuck £1 on it!!!

If we had backed all 3 to win from the start we would have made £3000!!!!

Oh well, £40 up is better than nothing!

Who's everyone backing? If anyone?
Runners and riders for the national can be found here -:

I have absolutely no idea about horses.

By the way, isn't Aintree a place near Liverpool?

It is actually a district of Liverpool, just spent a few days there.  Interesting to drive down the Melling Road, right through the centre of the racecourse.
