Well I was at MAN today so I only caught bits on the radio but I thought I heard there was a false start. Plus some newspaper reporter gained access to a horse so he could show that the security was crap.

yes I bet .... and my horse is still running ... but I dont think it will catch the rest of the field - there goes my life savings ( all 2 Euro of it )

Quoting Banco (Reply 7): You don't have steeplechasing in Australia, do you? Isn't it all flat-racing?
Is that where the horses have to jump over things? - If so that's not really popular here, no
All our horse stuff is done in spring, Around September, I think? (Melbourne Cup, Oaks Day, Caulfield Cup etc) and It's all just running around in a circle.

I've been betting (via an adult - for now) on hedgehunter for the past 3 years. In 2004, he was winning but fell at the last fence. Last year he won and i got £32 (hey big spender! ) and this year he came 2nd.
I like to watch horse racing - probably inspired by a $240 win at Del Mar in California a couple of years ago

Dam right I did and I am now going to sue somebody over my loss! Yes that's right, I put a whopping 50p each way on Cornish Rebel in honour of Cornish himself! So the bloody fool lost me £1!

Quoting Banco (Reply 19): In the National? That lottery?
Well, it's your money.
Well that was just Hedgehunter. I put an each way on Justin Debt and Amberleigh House, but neither finished . I put the bet on hedgehunter to win because he was joint favourite and he won last year so i thought what the hell
25 Banco: Weren't those terrible odds? 5-1 in a Grand National must be damn near unprecedented. Maybe Red Rum when he was going for his third win might have co
26 EWS: Thats because the old geezer's in India! Lew
27 EWS: Myself too put a bet, £200 on "Ole Faithful Skidmarks" but as you can see, he's a little lost and isn't expected to finish for another 40 days or so.
28 BMIFlyer: U have a weird affiliation with Skidmarks, I worry about you sometimes Lee
29 QFA380: Yesterday we had the Golden Slipper (the worlds richest 2-year-old race). BTW the Melbourne Cup and Oaks are in early November and Caufield is late O
