A yearly event for which we all will place a bet, something we may never do any other time in the year. But for this one we do, but why??

Who knows, I never watch horse racing any other time, but I study form, check out the course, await with anticipation this event.

This year it is to be held on the 14th April, Saturday of course as it always is. Aintree in Liverpool is the venue. The course is 7.2 km, with 16 fences, famous fences such as Becher's Brook by which we eagerly await the fallers.

I go to the bookies and place a bet, I also do whatever my work place is running which is usually lucky dip. Last year I was sucessful and my horse ran the whole course.

So good luck all you novice racing betters and good luck to the Grand National Runners.
