Well it’s the Grand National tomorrow. I don’t tend to bet but hey, once a year on the big one like the rest of the country. I’ll have a flutter. I don’t study form etc. But I try and relate something to the horse’s name. I thought I have MS is there anything there with a name like: Double Vision or Foot Drop? Or my very own favourite Sleepless Nights?
The only horse I found was Caught By Surprise. Yup I have bladder issues so I might plum for that.
I usually have a go - ever since I won a couple of hundred pounds, years ago, on my very first try. I was so clueless I’d had to ask a fellow punter how to fill in my betting slip. Beginner’s luck indeed!
Needless to say, I’ve never managed to repeat it since. I’m lucky if I pick one that finishes at all.
