Grand National 2015 - tomorrow.

2 years ago now... when we were invited to my friends Birthday...She decided , she wanted to go to Horse races . We went to Newbury  and made a wonderful day of it....
My friend T. enjoyed her special day.
We put few bets on. Well, boys did ;D...they didn't mind standing the queue , while me and T. enjoyed celebratory drink ;D
My friends brother won quite a bit of money....Lucky...The rest of us watched him showing off his winning ticket :D hoping, we will win the next race...but...we didn't !
Me and my Darling watch The Grand National every year, it is tradition now.
Tomorrow, is the big day - and we need to choose the winner or we will bet each way ? We will see.
I am just checking for my favorite 5 horses.
Am I going to go by lucky number?
Or the colour of the jockey's dress?
Or, should I read a bit on it?
Doesn't always work, as it can be any of 40 horses....it is unpredictable, it is a big race, every horse has a chance...
Or, will I dream of the winner?
My darling once won , when he bet on the name of the horse, that he dreamed of....That was bizarre.
He read all the names before he went to bed...and believe or not, that was, how he won the money !!
If you have any tip or idea, please let me know....I could do with some spare cash ;D ha ha
I will update this post later, when I have had a proper look at horses and give you my tips ;D for tomorrow.
See you

  1. Hi Vanilla, I know I'm a bit late with my comment as the race was Sunday. I watched it for the first time and I think I don't like it. As I was a passionate rider when I was young I was a bit shocked seeing those poor horses fall after jumping the obstacles :-(. What happens to them after the race? Mmh, sounds a bit childish, hey?
