Boleynkid, it was weird, they all got over Bechers no problem, the fence that brought them all down was one of the small ones

also dramatic was the 2001 Grand National, bottomless mud, 38 of the 40 fell early, leaving Red Marauder and Smarty running round in a duel

The Foinavon Grand National must be one of the most dramatic races ever. We used to see Foinavon run at Huntingdon so dad backed it for sentiments sake and it came in at 100/1.

Bit unlucky though weren't we. If we had the syndicate the following year she came in at 25/1. Think she won again after that as well.

I like the Lincoln as it heralds in the Flat season. Bastard to bet on though, complete lottery in my experience.

Jfk....the Cesarewitch!!....although the Lincoln was the first one I remembered watching with him (to a kid it did feel exactly like a cavalry charge), the Cesarewitch is the one he always went on about, more than any other race.
He didn't smoke as such, but woukd always have a cigar or two on the go while watching the races, and it was gave me the bug to have bets going on a race or two every Saturday afternoon
He really knew his horses though, kept big ledgers all handwritten, way before we all had PCs and think he used to concentrate most on their bloodlines and distances and going and made decent money from it - unlike me!!
First years in the bookies was when you woukd still get groups of old women in them betting pennies on the greyhounds.
Good luck with the Lincoln today mate....I do the trends with the races, which unfortunately today has thrown up Chelsea Lad...I'm in two minds!

Maori Venture 1987 Grand National, saw it in one single race before and thought it raced a blinder and when the commentator said it was a good bet for the National, thought it was as piss easy as that, so told of others to back it as well, which they did at 40 and 33/1.......if only it was as easy as they every year....waited 20 years til the next one, Silver Birch.
Favourite race is The Lincoln (tomorrow), no other reason other than my Grandad loved watching the racing on a Saturday and the Lincoln is the first name of a race I can remember watching with him as a kid.

A difficult question but money wise and watching on course cleaning up money wise.Marling for me in the early nineties a brilliant nag I followed her pre-kids backed her big and won bundles.
Memorable days and a fantastic bitch.
