I discovered that I had £11 in my Ladbrokes account online so I bet it all on two nags and one old donkey 
I had a fiver @ 9/1 on Butler's Cabin because I know some people called Butler who have a boat and cabin is a boaty term
I had a fiver @ 12/1 on Comply or Die because it fits in with what I do at work
Then with my last Quid I chucked it on Cerium because the odds were 500/1
I'm expecting to win nothing
If you look carefully behind the racecourse at Canal Turn as they go past and on a bit you can see loads of people standing on the roofs of their narrowboats moored up on the Leeds & Liverpool canal for a free view

I wonder what the death toll is this year.
Has there ever been a Grand national where there were no horse deaths, either during the race, or by having to get put down afterwards.?
I know many horses die at race meetings every year, but the Grand National is probably the most gruelling race in the world, and even a fit healthy horse is struggling to finish.
We can't begin to imagine the stress and suffering those horses have to endure.

Perhaps they should introduce a rule whereby if a horse has to be put down after the race, so does the owner and jockey - might make them think twice.
I have nothing against horse racing or eventing etc... per se, but when they start getting these huge jumps like at the GN and so many fallers, I think its time they had a good look at it.

Did you hear what Claire Balding said to the winning jockey "with this win you can get your teeth done " after asking him to smile for the cameras, I would have punched her in the ******* teeth if it were me she said it too.
Butlers Cabin collapsed after the race but pulled through sadly Hear the Echo was not so lucky, pulled up on the run in only to die from exhaustion
