LADIES DAY AT THE GRAND NATIONAL ~ FRIDAY
A FINE \"SPRING QUARTETTE !\"
A STEEPLECHASE revered worldwide
GRAND NATIONAL ~ A perfect ride !
RIDERS the Thrills (not the Spills) enjoy
ALWAYS went when I was a BOY
NEAR Beechers Brook I always stand
DETERMINED to see them all safely land !
NOTHING compares with National ~ OK
A GREAT group of Fillies on LADIES DAY !
THE NAMES of the Horses displayed with aplomb
\"I JUST KNOW\" fancied ~ twenty-five to one
ON GRAND NATIONAL Day ~ everyone has a flutter
NO HORSE is unbacked ~ betting slips in the gutter
AT LAST it\'s all over ~ and nobody died
LIVERPOOL basks in her PRESTIGE & PRIDE ~ AMEN
Thanks for reading ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX
I don\'t gamble for personal reasons but everyone asks me
\"How do I pick a Winner ?\" With 40 Runners the odds are
long so millions who don\'t normally \"do the Horses\" do
have a flutter on the National ! The answer is \"Use a PIN\"
It is a very open race and anyone can win ! All Three Lady
Jockeys have good pedigree ~ Could this be Lady\'s Year ?
Form of course is an indicator which puts Animals at the
top of the list ANIBALE FLY (11 : 1) and BLAKLION (12 : 1)
and TIGER ROLL (12:1) at least one of them should be \"In
the Frame\" at the finish. Jockeys & Trainers are important too !
RED is a winning colour (remember RED RUM a Triple Winner !)
This year ~ Captain Redbeard (16:1) & Vieux lion Rouge (33:1)
Then there are records @ 17 James Bowen on SHANTOU FLYER
(33:1) could become the Youngest Winner ! Most people pick by
instinct and association ! Folk from the Lake District will pick
LORD WINDERMERE (50:1) and the Dutch ~ The Dutchman
(25:1) and folk with Air Force connections and Ornithologists
BLESS THE WINGS (66:1). My Neighbour ~ who does the Horses
every week advises: Pick the FIVE you fancy and place £20 each
way on each Horse and you can\'t lose ~ perhaps ! BRIAN XOXOX
