Grand National Sweepstake

Anyone from TASC fancy setting up a grand national sweepstakes for FGR tomorrow?

Get a kit from any tabloid tomorrow morning sell horses for £5 to everyone on the coach and sell any any left to other away fans.

Split the takings 50/50 between the winner and the club

I was going to back Junior, had a great run at Cheltenham, however it has been withdrawn. (Not cool at all).

Ballabriggs is a good shout under Jason McGuire. Good hurdler and from a good stable with a renowned family of trainers. Niche market isn't a bad shout either, ran well at Newbury not long ago in a long run. Becauseicouldntsee is also a good shout for an each way bet, especially if Davy Russel is willing to ride injured, although that could be his downfall.

Should be a good race, but for a long shot I'd check in on Calgary Bay for a place.

i was tempted to have a little flutter on becauseicouldntsee - but i just cant see an 8yo winning tbh - but each way may come up..
normally its 9/10 yo that go onto win, last one not 9 or 10 was back in 2002 (bindaree was 8 at the time)

Majestic Concorde - its a royal year....maybe a  sign ::)

There will indeed be a sweepstake. £5 is probably a bit excessive, so putting it a £2 per horse. Prize will be for top 4, so will more than likely be £25 for 1st,£15 for 2nd,£10 for 3rd and £5 for 4th, with the rest going to TASC.
