Grand National betting

If there’s one time of year when just about everyone in the UK places a bet, it has to be for the Grand National.

Syndicates up and down the country are formed to pool the money and place larger bets on “sure things” even in the certain knowledge that the Grand National is the one race when the one sure thing is that there is no sure thing and the winner is very much a random choice. Still, if you’re going to give it a go, why not try out Red Rum’s choice below?

   Like it – very good. I picked out Simon at 16/1. Not sure about that one as he has quite a bit of weight. But now Ive picked it on this game I think I’ll have to back it – could be fate!

   If people are looking for a more skilful way of finding the grand national winner then can I suggest some of these trends to cut down the national field.

   Each of the last 10 national winners have been aged 8-12, carried 11st1lb or less, won over a distance of at least 3 miles, won a chase worth at least £17,000, run in at least 10 chases and had a handicap rating of above 135.

   Throw in a couple more stats such as most had run over the grand national fences before and most had run well in another national (scottish, welsh or irish), concentrate on those likely to run in the race and you have just a few left.

   Chelsea harbour,Bewleys berry,Mckelvey,Point barrow,Sir rembrandt,Cornish rebel,cloudy lane,Cornish sett,Naunton brook,Comply or die,Philson run,Black apalachi,Homer wells.

   Nearer the day of the race we might be able to scrub a few more of these as some look likely to wear blinkers which restrict their view. Only one winner in the last 30 years has worn blinkers but over 130 have tried.

   So hope that narrows it down for you a bit and hope that if you pick from these ones then you have a bit better chance than going completely by random

   Good luck
