Grand National Aintree Festival 2023

[Dallas]

Good luck with this years festival everyone

Lets hope the big one does go ahead with no hic ups on Saturday with the heightened level of protest threats this year

Let's hope the protestor's minibus has a puncture.....at 70mph around a left-hand bend on the M62.

ITV may as well go the way of the BBC if they think Loose Women is more important than a Grade 1 novices' chase.

They only have the rights to show so many races each day

Its a pity that rule is also in place for the major festivals. Racing needs as much exposure as it can get in the mainstream media!

Sky news and Kay burley are not the sharpest of tools in the box

I think you should put that couple of quid in the swear box for that comment. Traders habitually don't have a 'punt' on anything

I was just thinking about sweeps and was about to ask if these are still popular in the workplace etc or if they have lost there appeal over the year?

I heard that Diligenta (owned by Tata) only allows 7mins toilet time per day & have installed motion detectors under desks for some staff, so that may be a bit of a downer as far a sweeps are concerned.

PS; Don't tell Peter, he may get ideas...

Also, if a trader wants a free bet he will create one himself
