Bloody hell, didn't know it was next week.

This and the Gold Cup are the only times I have a flutter on the horses, I don't know enough about it to be a regular gambler.

Normally 1-2 weeks after the boat race

Haven't had a chance to get up the bookies because I'm ill so the horse I'm backing will probably win now, knowing my luck.
I'm backing Ballabriggs. The missus is backing Quinz.

I swear I should of put a sweepstake on today, but that is talking in hindsight

Something really should be done to improve the safety. Nice of the commentators to describe the dead horses as obstacles. As usual the deaths hardly get a mention in the press. Good on the Mail for reporting it though.
