The Grand National



In preparation for my annual trip to the bookies, I've sidling up to Irishmen in the pub and asking conspiratorially for inside information on the National. It's a bit disappointing the be advised to back the favourite, Joe's Edge, when I was expecting to be tipped the wink that a 100/1 outsider, secretly trained and cloaked in disinformation, was bound to romp home.

So I think a fiver each way on these three: Dun Doire, McKelvey, Bothar Na.

Later

Well, McKelvey saved it from being a complete disaster. I'm so pleased the favourites all lost. I would have felt so bad about the bookies paying out all that money.

In future I'll stick to premium bonds.
