Most tabloids put the sweepstake pages out on the Thursday or Friday. This time of year I miss dad as he knew several National hunt Trainers and Grooms and they would all be contacting each other (grooms)....he won a few bob !!!!!

Oh Malc, will you be having a little wager for your dad? Thanks for finally getting your post on.... lol I always back all the massive odds in hope that one day one of them will come romping in...

You are correct, I think its on about 4pm instead of 3pm. How dare they get wed on the same day as National.

My dad is called David so I will have a flutter on Davids Lad, I like picking names that are connected to family, few more weird names this year though.
