Bad luck PETER01, it was a good choice however, looked like it was going to do it.

Yes I agree
. I'm never lucky at these sort of things.I picked it for the name from a huge field but also notably the colours were actually Emerald and Sapphire and also a minor reason I made that choice. Ah well, what's a £1 these days.
ETA: Claire Balding has just stated that all the Horses that ran are all OK so that's good news. ^

Always loved Grand National day even although I rarely won anything. They have horse racing here but unlike the UK betting on them seems to be not very popular. They prefer the lottery.

What about Darts, that's easy for you and would keep the old grey matter ticking over

Watching a horse on which you have placed a pound at 100:1 lead until just before the finish line makes a race quite interesting, but it is the gamble rather than the sport.
I am always surprised by how enthralling snooker is as a spectator sport. I was sucked into watching it on the TV for several hours last time I was in the UK.
