Grand National

Everyone has a different way of picking their horse for the National, many choose to go for the names of the horses or the colours of the silks worn by the jockies, some people me included try and study the race which isn’t easy as it only takes one horse to make a mistake in front of your so called “dead cert” and it’s curtains. Last year the race was won by the little horse that is Tiger Roll , and he’s currently the 7/2 market leader as he looks to become the first horse since Red Rum to win back to back Nationals, but it won’t be an easy task with 39 other runners and 30 obstacles for them t
