Most people have a bet on a race known the world over as 'The Grand National' it seems, so what will you be backing (if anything) and how will you arrive at your decision?

A name you like, fancy the jockey, form, got the horse in an office draw, or a pin with your eyes closed maybe?

Either way it's a fact that ultimately only the Bookies will win, but nevertheless my tip is Imperial Commander at 14/1 each way. Oh and by the way, don't blame me if it falls, doesn't finish, or isn't in the winners enclosure!

Have a great day if you are lucky enough to go.

Well the Bookies certainly did clean up today, a 66/1 shot won the race!

One thing is for sure, I have more water for my Grouse! Boo, hoo...
