Both my son and my partner had 3 of the top 5, so they were happy with their winnings. Partner picked the winner somehow lol.
Sad but lovely story of the winner, The lady who it was originally owned by had him because she told her hubby that she really wanted to own a race horse trained by Willie Mullins (and it was ridden by his son), who she had gone to school with. So horse was bought but unfortunately she died of cancer before seeing the famous win.

😁
We only had a bet between us.
My horse was leading or near the front until the last then fell right behind. DH's was somewhere in the middle.

I didn't place any bets, though I did think that Nick Rocket was a good name for a racehorse. I should have acted on that.

This list of tips is a day late, sorry, I've only just found it.

"Tips for the Grand National
Creosote... good over fences
Dusty carpet, never been beaten
Leaky tap, as long as it's running
Victoria plum.......only carrying a stone
V neck is a decent jumper
Boiled egg, it’s never been beaten?.
Was gonna back Itchyminge but it's been scratched
Diarrhea still running well
Loose button - sure to come off
Premature Ejaculation, always comes first
For the double, sheaf hearted and ice melted.
Tip for Ayr, open the windae"
